Ben Philippe: Charming as a Verb (2020, Balzer + Bray) 3 stars

Review of 'Charming as a Verb' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This YA novel does a good job capturing the pressure kids at elite schools likely face when jockeying to get into the "school of their (parents') dreams." I'm giving this book 4 stars despite it engendering the same level of stress/panic borne from poor choices as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, in part because Phillippe does a good job creating quippy-but-believable teen dialogue.
