*I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through Goodreads Giveaways. This is an honest review.*

This book was a rollercoaster! It started off strong and didn’t let go until the very end. Through each of the character’s stories, you get a whole lot to deal with: addiction, guilt over the past, abandonment issues, etc. They all have their demons, and, boy, are their demons large and scary. While this book is action-packed, I found it largely character-driven, with each character facing their issues during their journey and trying to find peace within themselves. The plot itself is pretty crazy and not realistic, but for me, it wasn’t so much about what was actually happening as it was about what the characters were going through.

It was a fast read for me, especially since there are a bunch of surprises and turns that stack atop one another. This book is different than what I thought it was going to be, but it turned out it was different for the better. It’s hard to give specifics without ruining the twists, but suffice to say, this Rebel Bully Geek Pariah kept me on my toes and I just kept turning the pages to see what would happen next.

I think the comparison to The Breakfast Club is a bit difficult, since that movie is so much quieter than this book. In the sense that you get to scratch the surface of these different characters and they get to respect each other’s struggles, the comparison is apt. In every other sense, it really is nothing like The Breakfast Club. Despite that, I would recommend it if you’re willing to put reality aside for a bit and just tag along for the ride. I can see reluctant readers being super into this because of how much suspense there is and how fast-paced the action is.

Rebel Bully Geek Pariah Erin Jade Lange Books Reviews

When I saw Rebel, Bully, Geek, Pariah by Erin Jade Lange on Netgalley, I wanted to read it immediately. The Breakfast Club meets Breaking Bad? Sign me up! I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Sam has not had an easy life. Her mother has been in and out of jail, and Sam does her best to stay invisible. She doesn’t need the scrutiny of her peers. Due to circumstances beyond her control, she ends up at a party in the woods with Andi. At one point, Andi was one of the popular girls, but now she avoids her old friends. When the party is broken up by the police, Sam and Andi find themselves in the company of brothers York and Boston. York is an athlete and a bully, and his brother Boston wants to go to an Ivy League school. In their efforts to avoid the police, this unlikely quartet inadvertently steals a car full of drugs. Now they have to figure out what to do without incriminating themselves.

The entire story takes place over the course of a very long evening, and is interspersed with flashbacks. Sam, the “pariah” of the group, serves as narrator. It might have been interesting to see everyone’s perspective; one of the main themes of the book is how everyone’s choices led them to be together in the woods. Just like the kids in The Breakfast Club, these teens would never have interacted socially, but circumstances have thrust them into a partnership. Over the course of the evening, the group debates what they should do, and secrets from the past are revealed.

Rebel, Bully, Geek, Pariah kept me riveted. I found myself reading faster because I wanted to find out what was going to happen. Friendship does not come automatically, and they each have every reason to distrust each other. This is the sort of book that would make a really fun movie; the vivid action scenes are easy to visualize.

I would absolutely recommend Rebel, Bully, Geek, Pariah to young adult readers and fans of the genre. I have not read any of Erica Jade Lange’s other books, but my interest has been piqued, and I am looking forward to adding them to my list.
I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Okay, if I were to rate this one sorely upon believability, this one would have received a much lower rating. This book was compared to The Breakfast Club. Just as The Breakfast Club took place over the course of one day, this book took place over the course of one night and it was a CRAZY night. I was expecting more of a contemporary piece instead of this mystery. And the hijinks that these kids got to into were insane. I wanted to scream at them because they were making all these horrible decisions, one after the other. But you know what? It was very entertaining.

We only saw one POV, that of Sam, who would be the pariah in this book. I could relate to her a lot, mainly because she tried her best to make herself invisible throughout high school. Now I didn't have a drug addicted mother and I wasn;t bounced around from family member to family member every time my mom was serving time in prison so in that respect, I was nothing like Sam. There were also flashbacks of different scenes in high school where Sam encountered the other people she became involved with that night (Andi, York and Boston). These were four people who really had nothing in common and they all had mistaken perceptions of each other based on the role they played in their daily lives. I didn't really feel much of a connection with the other characters, mainly because we didn't read from their POV and we didn't learn much about them even during the night. We learned a little, just not enough to really connect with them.

Like I said, the four teenagers started out at a party and ended up running from the cops in a stolen car so the night was insane. But there were still a lot of moments of humor. That is probably why I gave it the higher rating. I laughed out loud at some of their antics and I loved seeing them get to know each other. I could see that they became friends by the end of the night. There were some twists that I did not see coming and one or two dozen more things that may or may not have been completely unbelievable. But yeah, we've already established that. This was still a very entertaining read about four very different people becoming friends. I enjoyed it!
