There was no backlash at Gabe for hanging out with Molly, but Molly was still being treated like Hester Prynne. This was very frustrating to read, especially when she and Gabe start hanging out.
Everyone is acting like Molly was the only one at fault in this scenario. And my problem here is, no one is shaming Gabe.
When she arrives back in town, she drives up to find her house has been egged by the boys’ sister, Julia. Molly is, of course, the talk of the town after her scandal the year before. And that is really all you need to know before going in to this story. Molly is now home for the summer and wonders how she will survive the next 99 days. She slept with her boyfriend’s brother, Gabe, and then her mom wrote a best-selling novel about it. Molly Barlow is back in her hometown after she fled in shame a year ago. I gave it a higher rating than most because I was entertained, which is what I want from a YA contemporary, but I also recognize the issues with the plot.
This book was obviously polarizing for readers because the ratings are all over the place. I gave 99 Days 4 stars on Goodreads, but it is really more like 3.75 stars. My Patrick, who’s never going to forgive me. My Patrick, who’s supposed to be clear across the country. I think he’s about to kiss me-and that’s when I see Patrick. “For what it’s worth, Molly Barlow,” he says, “I’m really glad you’re back.”ĭay 12: Gabe got me to come to this party, and I’m actually having fun. I’m expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it’s just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. Now I’m serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave fo r college, and be done.ĭay 4: A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn’t finished. I had the physical copy of the book from my library, but then I found the audiobook on the Hoopla app and decided to listen to the book by the pool instead.ĭay 1: Julia Donnelly eggs my house my first night back in Star Lake, and that’s how I know everyone still remembers everything-how I destroyed my relationship with Patrick the night everything happened with his brother, Gabe. I did not know what to expect when I started this book, but I knew everyone was excited for the sequel, 9 Days and 9 Nights. Hello, fellow readers! Today I have my review for 99 Days by Katie Cotugno and things will get spoiler-y, but I will post a warning before I go in to spoiler territory.
