99 Days by: Katie Cotugno
Pages: 1-Finished
Genre: Fiction
The book that I have chosen for this blog, which I have just finished reading, is 99 Days by Katie Cotugno. The genre of this book is fiction, so it is a made up story. The main character of this book is a girl named Molly Barlow, who used to be kind, outgoing, and had many friends is now quiet, kept to herself, and doesn't have many friends. This story takes place in Molly's tiny hometown, Star Lake. There are various moods that go very well with this book, for example, heartbreak, anxiousness, and excitement, but the main mood that the book evolves around is heartbreak. The conflict in the book is between Molly and three of her childhood friends that are all siblings. Her friends names are Julia, Patrick, and Gabe Donnelly. The conflict they are having all started in Molly, Julia, and Patrick's sophomore year of Highschool, while Gabe was in his freshman year of college. Molly and Patrick were childhood sweethearts, until she cheated on him with his brother Gabe and that is when it all turned for the worst. The theme is mainly betrayal and friendship because of Molly bretraying Pratrick and ruining her friendship with her friends Julia and Imogen.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked the way the author wrote the book with so much detail about what happened in the past between Molly and her friends. The book 99 Days is the type of book that is very hard to forget, the style, which is written in detail of what Molly did on each day for the 99 days that she is going to be in Star Lake before going to College. The main thing that I most remember about the book is the relationship that Molly has with all her friends throughout and at the end of book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading books that are filled with intense amounts of details and has a complicated plot to it, that you would need to be open-minded in order to get the concept of it. I think people should go out and get this book because it is something different from other books that have a similar theme and mood. Also I think they should go out and get the book because I really enjoyed it and I think others would to as well.
