Hey everyone, I am back with a book review. Today I am reviewing "Fancy White Trash" by Marjetta Geerling. What did I think of this book? I really really enjoyed this book so much. It was a very light, funny contemporary book. Contemporary is my favorite genre to read, and this book did not disappoint me. I've been wanting to read this book for a long time and I'm glad I finally read it. I haven't heard anyone talk about this book on booktube, but I read whatever I want to read and this book sounded really good. Oops, I'm rambling, anyway let me tell you what this book is about.

The Plot

Fancy White Trash is about a fifteen year old girl named Abby Savage. She is a normal girl in High School. Her life is fine except for one problem, her family. Her family is completely messed up. Abby watches lots of soap operas and her life is basically one. She thinks her family is so embarrassing and not normal so she always hangs out with her best friend, Cody who lives next door. She also has a crush on Cody's older brother, Jackson. Abby doesn't want to be like her psycho family, but she has to live with them. She just wishes her life was normal. She also has a plan to find her True Love, and her plan has rules. 

That's basically the whole plot. I can't say much without spoiling anything. Let me tell you about her family so you can see why her family is messed up. Basically, her family doesn't believe in dating different guys. They all dated the same one. This is actually hard to explain, it might seem confusing but it's not. So, Abby's parents got divorced, so her dad moved out and got married to someone else. Her parents got back together a couple times and then got divorced again. Her mom married a guy named Steve(Abby calls him "The Guitar Player). This is not a spoiler, because it's in the plot description. So, Abby's eighteen year old sister Kait, had flings with Steve. Abby's other older sister, Shelby(who is 21) also hooked up with Steve. The mom didn't know. So Abby's mom and sister Kait are both pregnant and Steve got them both pregnant. Kait has feelings for Steve, but he's with her mom. Also Shelby got divorced and has a baby named Hannah. In the middle of the book Kait has a baby girl named Stephanie(Yay my name, lol!) Abby tries to figure out who Stephanie's dad is. Shelby tells Abby that Jackson is the dad but Abby thinks the dad of the baby is The Guitar Player. Abby doesn't want to be messed up like her family so she tries to find a different guy for her "True Love" plan. 

My Opinion  

Wow, that was really hard to describe. This book has so much family drama in it, it was insane but it kept me so entertained. One of the reasons why I loved this book so much is because Abby's family is so different from my family. I guess you can say my family is perfect. My sister's aren't messed up, my parents are still together and we never really fight much. Abby's family is very realistic nowadays and I couldn't relate to it but that's why I liked it. I like to read to escape from my life and this was perfect. Another thing I liked about this book was, even though everyone in her family had relationship problems, they all got a happy ending, even Abby. Let's talk about the characters now. I really liked Abby. She is the youngest in her family and she was mature and she always helped her family. She didn't want to turn out like her family, she wanted to be normal. I was so happy Abby didn't get messed up. She stayed true to herself, and she was just a great character. I can see why she wanted to find a different guy. I loved her best friend Cody. Cody is gay so him and Abby don't have feelings for each other, which I loved because in every book now, the best friends like each other but they are just friends. Abby tries to find Cody a partner too. I just loved Cody because he was such a good friend. He always helped Abby and cheered her up when she was upset. I liked her love interest, Jackson. He seemed like a nice guy and he is actually three years older than Abby. Even though Abby's family is so messed up, I actually liked reading about them. I didn't really like her sister Shelby but I liked Kait. The pacing was perfect, I was never bored and the book was pretty short. I liked how the book ended, and it was a very entertaining read. I think this book is worth a buy. If you love contemporary books that are funny, cute and light, I really recommend this book. It made me feel thankful for my good family. This book was so realistic, it should be a movie. Marjetta Geerling is a great author and this book is so underrated. This is her only book but I hope she writes more books in the future. I gave this book 5/5 Lily Pads. Thanks for reading and I will have a review on my channel soon so stay tuned. Bye :)
