Antisocial by Jillian Blake (from a Two Thumbs Up reviewer)
Thursday, Jul 06, 2017 at 12:06pmI read the novel Antisocial by Jillian Blake. This is Jillian Blake's first novel so I think that it was pretty good by those standards. I give this a 65/100.
Antisocial is a novel about a teenage girl who has social anxiety and who's pressured a lot during the course of the book. Jillian Blake plays up that fact too much, so by the end, Anna, the protagonist, seems kinda bratty and spoiled because of it.
The main idea of this book is that Anna and the rest of her school are cyberbullied by a hacker who has a secret identity, and then there are problems in Anna's life that go along with that story. This book, I feel, is too packed with details that it goes off topic a lot of the time. This book was overall not bad, so I would read another novel by Jillian Blake if the story line was more on topic.
I would recommend this book to teenagers who either want to read about social anxiety or who like gossipy teen high school novels.
