Didn’t Like It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “I'm a fan of Maureen Johnson but I was really disappointed with this book. It wasn't funny. I wasn't feeling the romance that popped up at the end since it had no backbone within the story. Plus there was no explanation of the main character's supposed best friend secretly dating her ex...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“To tell the truth, this book confused me more than anything. I love weird, but this book was so weird that I never knew what was going on and had trouble following it. The weirdness was amusing sometimes, but most of the time I was just so confused by the plot that I couldn't get invested in either it or the characters. I felt like I was reading it in a dream and there was a film separating me and the book. It was all right over all, but I really just don't know where it was going or what its point was, if it even /had/ a point. Maybe I need someone to explain the deep symbolism in it to me or something and then I'd get it.”

“The only thing that makes St. Teresa’s Preparatory School for Girls bearable for Jane is her best friend Ally. But when Ally changes into a whole different person literally overnight the fall of their senior year, Jane’s suddenly alone—and very confused. Turns out, Ally has sold her soul in exchange for popularity—to a devil masquerading as a sophomore at St. Teresa’s! Now it’s up to Jane to put it all on the line to save her friend from this ponytail-wearing, cupcakenibbling demon . . . without losing her own soul in the process. This YA take on Faust in a Catholic girls’ high school is clever, fun, and full of tasty surprises which can change the life of our friend as she try to save her friend...”

When I sat down to read it I was ready for a very different type of book then it actually was. I've read other books by Maureen Johnson and I hadn't read the summary on the back. I thought it would be a girly romance type book without anything paranormal. So, the demon/devil character was a surprise for me.
I think the best part of this book was the fact that I never knew what would happen next. Most of the time in books I can guess what will happen but for this one everything I guessed was wrong. Though out the book I had difficultly determining who would emerge victorious, the demon or Jane.
I also thought that the characters were very easy to relate with and had good flaws. No one likes a perfect character. I thought that the point in the book where Jane understands her ex-boyfriend's character completely was one of the best parts in the book.”
“i nice mix of city of bones and twilight. showcases a head strong female main character, trying to pick the pieces of her best friend's fatal mistake ”
