Thank you Harper Collins for this book in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
School’s out.
Forget study, exams and mapping out the future.
For the next seven days, the only homework is partying with friends, making new ones and living in the moment.
There are no parents or curfews – and no rules.
Zoe, Samira and Dahlia are strangers, but they have something in common: their plans for a dream holiday after their final year of school are flipped upside-down before they even arrive at the beach.
From hooking up and heartache, to growing apart, testing friendships and falling in love, anything can go down this week
Review:
Can’t Say it went to Plan is based around a group of teenagers that are celebrating the end of their school year. While the friends have extremely different lives, personality and yet have built their friendship amongst the confusion that life brings.
It took around 100 pages to get into this book for me. The pacing wasn’t enjoyable, it seemed to drag on unnecessarily and I found it seemed to be written for a younger audience which affected the dialogue of the characters as well.
While this book covers a great deal of topics such as mental health, loss and sexuality, it was a basic teen angst story and unfortunately not something new. Though it will be interesting to see what else Tozer creates in the future.
