7 Clues to Winning You Kristin Walker 9780692275788 Books

I want unique watchable characters or I want unique watchable activities/actions. I did not get either of these. The main characters were good but ordinary and normal. Blythe, a high school junior, does impulsive foolish things which cause problems and she cries. An unlucky thing happens to her, she gets revenge, and that creates worse things for her. She does something bad to a friend who hurts back with something awful. These foolish actions and reactions were most of the plot. I was shaking my head each time. Another chunk of time is spent watching Blythe solve clues and find items in the scavenger hunt. That was more interesting.

The best parts of the book were the secondary characters. I loved reading about Cy and Jenna, goth-looking outsiders who befriended Blythe. And I loved the parts with Franny and Eulalie, ladies in a retirement home who helped Blythe with a couple items in the scavenger hunt.

I enjoyed this author's previous book "A Match Made in High School." That was 5 stars for me.

7 Clues to Winning You Kristin Walker 9780692275788 Books Reviews

7 Clues To Winning You was a really cute book but I found myself volleying back and forth between "awww" and "ugh" for almost the entirety of the story.

The main problem for me was probably Blythe. In the beginning (and then sporadically throughout) she was selfish and snobby and thought she was above everyone else. It drove me absolutely insane how she pretty much thought the whole world revolved around her. She does end up growing beyond that, but something about her self-hating, self(and everyone else around)-destructive mindset in the process of the growth really rubbed me the wrong way. Plus, the way she needed to be smacked over the head with a sign for everything drove me batty. I figured out half the stuff, especially scavenger hunt clues, before she'd manage to come around to the conclusion herself.
Oh, and that "humiliating" picture is of her picking her nose and she acts like it's the end of the entire world. I mean, really?
Whew. Until I wrote it all down I didn't realize I disliked her character that much P But, I've said many times before that characters don't really make or break a story for me.

The plot, however, does, and 7 Clues To Winning You sadly wasn't my favorite [ I'd really been hoping to like this one so it truly does make me all sadface. It just seemed a little like there was too much going on. Let's go through the main and side stories
1) The family is selling the house. This side story goes really in-depth into the process of selling a house. I found it kind of interesting since I love to just sit and watch House Hunters on HGTV for hours, but it didn't seem to contribute a lot to the story, especially since it's told from Blythe's point of view (as opposed to third person or whatnot) and the house selling process doesn't really concern her.
2) The mother dealing with some feelings. I can kind of see where this could mean something to why Blythe is the way she is, but it still doesn't seem incredibly pertinent. This is Blythe's story, not her mother's.
3) The scavenger hunt. Nothing to complain about here except for the fact that I wish there'd been a little more focus on it.
4) Luke & Blythe. Nothing to complain about here either.
5) Blythe drifting from old friends. This would certainly be an important and defining moment in Blythe's life, but the way it was added into the story felt more like an easy way to move the plot along to me.
6) Blythe's relationship with a pair of old ladies at the nursing home. This side story I completely and utterly approve of but I'll get to that later.
7) Blythe's relationship with her dad. I actually found this plot point pretty interesting even if it did get a tad tedious at times (partly because it's easier to see the adult point of view when you're older P)
There's probably more that I'm forgetting but basically what I'm saying here is that the storyline felt really cluttered sometimes.

Okay, those old ladies I mentioned? They are a RIOT! I freaking loved them to pieces. For once, a side story relationship trumps all the main plot points for me. I mean, these ladies scheme pop can heists and buy porno mags with Blythe. Seriously, that scene with the nudie magazine at the gas station is one of the best things ever. I was reading in bed at about 3 in the morning laughing so much I woke Husband up P

The Nuthsell Whewie did that review get long? Chances are you looked at how long it was and just skipped right down here to get to the main point and I don't blame you! To sum it up, if you just want a contemp read that'll provide you with a few laughs then 7 Clues To Winning You is definitely for you, but be prepared for large amounts of side plots.
Near Miss
That was cuuuuuuute!!!! c I liked it D

This was the perfect example for light romance, high school drama, and the perks of having a father as a principal of your rival school ) because a lot of stuff can happen. Like fall in love with the person you hate and embarrassed you, break and then fix a senior tradition, move from your childhood house, make making out/friends who have relationship friends, mess up your bond with the other school and get attached with your rival school, and etc etc.

The point is, i loved the protagonist, but she cried too much, was a bit whiny, but you get passed that when you find that she can be a very determined character on the end. She develops and changes a lot.

I liked the "underground senior game". It was better than what the actual senior games are, but if only the author did alittle more with it, I mean she have us 6 clues, and the seventh one was cute, but the protagonist finishes before it even ends because she says that she's got the bigger prize, her love <3 but who wins? How did it end? What was the last clue? What happened to her old friends? How was the prom? IM SO LOST AND I DIDNT GET AN ENDING I THINK MY BOOK LOST PAGES OF THE EPILOGUE (

-sigh- oh well... It was cute, I enjoyed it, but expected more in the end ) and I got it autographed! Thanks Kristin!!! D
I really enjoyed this book. It is laugh-out-loud funny in several places and just a fun, light-hearted read.
The writing is clever and very entertaining.
I especially appreciated the growth that was apparent in a few of the main characters as they honestly tested their motivations and worked to face the truth of who they were becoming, by taking responsibility for their choices.
I applaud Ms. Walker for her efforts and hope to see many more of these fun stories in the near future.
