eBook: The New Girl

Since I’ve started to get into the habit of reading, just so I’m not binge watching a series on Netflix or vlogs on YouTube, I guess it would just be appropriate to write about the books, or more like eBooks, that I’ve managed to finish reading.

In this case I’m talking about the free eBook The New Girl by Tracie Puckett, it can be found on Amazon Kindle and Apple iBooks. It’s a series and only the first one is free with the others costing US$0.99 but I’ve only read the first one.

The book revolves around this girl, which has a really weird name, that has been constantly moving from place to place with her mother as they’re escaping her dad, though she just believes that it’s her mother being paranoid. When they finally land on this small town and she just has to deal with being the new kid in high school and also her mom. In this school she befriends two classmates and falls in love with the teacher, which apparently is the only teacher in this school…well not really, there are other teachers mentioned in the story but this one teacher is the one that’s most mentioned and his class is detailed more than others.

Her weird name…lets just talk about this as, to be honest, it just seems that the author was lazy to come up with a name and just used the first 11 letters of the alphabet but then the character has a preferred name that she goes by, and out of those 11 letters the first 6 letters of the alphabet are her name. Could that even be possible? Like can one register a kid with the name Abcdef? There are some really interesting last names as well but is Ghijk a possible last name? But why come up with a name like that and then have to go into having a preferred name and to explain on the strange legal name?

This is a quick book to read and not a difficult one to follow. The time line spans several weeks but the book, according to the average read time, can be read in about an hour. So if this was a physical book it would be more like a pamphlet than a book.

I have to read the others in this series as the first one does leave you in a cliffhanger.
