Surviving High School

Sorry for the late post but I had been busy editing my story,incase you're wondering I have already finish writing it.I am now editing it so you can expect the next chapter in a couple of days.Just wondering do any of you play the Surviving High School.It is a mobile game,every week the upload a new episode where you can play it for free.I have been playing it for a couple for years,while I think that the game is getting stale but I continue on playing since it's free.Anyway they release a book,introducing a new character named Emily.The book is written by M Doty and it was published in 2012.

The High and Low
.I like the cover.
.The story is pleasant and light.

.The story from the book doesn't quite match the story from the game.
.A lot of the characters were hollow.

Quick Summary
Emily is entering her first day of high school with her friend Kimi.Her sister died on a car accident and now her father expects her to be as great as her.She follows a strict regiment.She found herself liking Ben a popular student who is still recovering from a heart break and facing of her rival Dominique in swimming and for Ben's affection.It seems that there was more about her sister's death but nobody wants to talk about it and she do not want to confront Nick,her sister's boyfriend,the one who was responsible for her death.With all these issues surrounding her she reach her..............................that's all I'm going to write.

The Conclusion
I picked up the book,thinking that it would be a decet read.Truthfully it was,the story was good enough to be enjoyable and it didn't drag out as many teen books tend to.I also find myself liking the cover,usually I dislike cover with real people.However for people who have played the game,might find themselves confuse on several things,Kimi's relationship between Kevin and the disappearence of Dominique and Cameron's is to name a few.Not only that except for Emily,most of the characters lacked depth they had in the game.I wished that the story showcased Nick or Sam more.I was quite dissapointed with the book as I had expected more.For a player of the game you might find yourself dissapointed but for a non player you will probably enjoy it.

Rating: 5 out of 10.

I really wanted to give it one mark higher but I was really dissapointed with how the book used the characters.
