Sam & Ilsa's Last Hurrah by Rachel Cohn, David Levithan
1.0
I think this is my second book by this author? Not a fan so far.
Sam & Ilsa's Last Hurrah was more than boring. Thankfully, this book is super short - like about 200 pages. So, I could easily fly through this.. with ya know not caring about anything or anyone.
In it, you will meet Sam and Ilsa. They are twin's and having one last party in their grandma's place before saying goodbye. No, they aren't dying (even though that twist would've been a warm welcome) but their grandma is moving to Paris. They are also saying goodbye because they are graduating high school. As to what they are doing after, going to college or whatever, has yet to be set in stone.
These two are trying to figure out their lives and at least making a change in their current depressing ones. These two do nothing - heck nothing really happens in this book. It was beyond weird and confusing. I honestly didn't like any character in this thing. So, fortunately for me, I didn't care about what they were doing after this goodbye.
Towards the end, I was excited - mostly because I was almost done with this tragic book. I was also happy because these two were finally going to do something exciting with their lives. Leave this place behind and never look back...and yet I got a sad ending. Sad because they had to say goodbye again..but weird because I still didn't like anyone.
Overall, goodbye book.
