the chunk in the professor's office at the very end made it almost interesting enough to be worth having read but overall: woof. 7.5 hours of a breakfast club-esque attempt at what? mystery? dark academia? it's really hard to say.

it might also be my bad but i absolutely thought the ~revenge plot~ was going to be like. murder? something interesting at least but oh well.

too many characters, too much detail, too little plot.

This is the story of a group of "local girls" that meet a movie star at a local hangout in their town. The author makes no secret that this is the last life in his life in the star's life. Through the course of just one evening we learn about a series of ups and downs between the "local girls" through flashbacks of a series of practical jokes that leads one of their group to a year term in prison. This is a neatly constructed book with well developed characters and a fast pace. A very nice debut novel..… (mehr)

In my opinion, Local Girls by Caroline Zancan misses the mark. I think that the characters and their group dynamic could have easily and more effectively been illustrated in a short story or novella. Too many subtleties were overstated and/or drawn-out. Adding in Sam Decker, the Hollywood heartthrob, really could have been the knock-out punch to what could've been an excellent dark story.

The summer night their lives changed forever Maggie, Lindsey and Nina had gone to the Shamrock bar in their boring town outside of Orlando Florida to torture Lila and her group of insignificant friends. Before they could get properly started on the insults they had planned for the night they met Sam Decker, the actor they loved in every one of his movies and who they drooled over in magazines.
