Rating: WARTY!
Which imbecile decided that it would be a really great idea to lard up audio books with random jarring, too loud music? Ugh! The music has nothing to do with the story and was never in the original typescript so get your heads out of your high hats and quit it already!
I had my doubts about the blurb on this one, but it sounded like it might be interesting if written the right way. What finally tipped my choice was that it was read by Christina Ricci, but this turned out to be a bad indicator. Her reading voice wasn't that great, but the reading material was the most flaccid dreck imaginable. It's part of the gossip girls series and I seriously and honestly fear for the mental welfare of people who find this trash remotely engaging.
The best thing I can say about it is that it was commendably short, but even then I skimmed the thing. The entire short story consisted of the most boring descriptions of snotty, spoiled high-schoolers getting ready to attend college, and consisted of boring interactions, tedious shopping trips, and uninventive partying.
The entire thing was sodden with vacuous, juvenile, and clueless talk of losing virginity before college, and this is the only thing the story had going for it, which amounted to nothing at all since nothing actually happened (or if it did, it must have been a quickie which I missed when skimming from track to track). I flatly refuse to recommend this or anything like it unless you're in dire need (and I do mean dire) of sleeping draft.
