Cringe Club – Battle of the Besties
Book Review
This is a great story and funny but it shows that although friends might argue they are always there for each other
This was an amazing book so easy to follow and the chat boxes made it easy to read.
It was about this girl called Kennedy, she had to move from her old town leaving her friends behind, she had some down days but was resilient and did not let any one get in her way.
She got invited to Harmony’s birthday sleepover, Harmony was really nasty to Kennedy. When at the sleepover harmony took a really embarrassing photo of her and then posted the photo on the group chat. After the sleepover Harmony starts being nice, Kennedy doesn’t know if she can trust her or if Harmony is just pretending.
Kennedy doesn’t always get along with all her friends in the cringe club as there are some misunderstanding and Kennedy has to figure out who her real friends are.
When Kennedys mum makes the whole family go vegetarian, Kennedy moans about it a lot which I thought was funny.
At the end of the story Kennedy gets more confident and does not allow other people control how she feels.
This is a great story and funny but it shows that although friends might argue they are always there for each other. I would highly recommend this book and I am going to get the first one to read myself too.
About the Book
Welcome back to the Cringe Club! It’s Kennedy’s first day back at Hellington High after half term and things seem to be going . . . well!? Even her arch enemy, Harmony Bliss, is being NICE!?
Meanwhile, Devon is collecting cringes like trophies thanks to his highly embarrassing parents and Liv is having major boy trouble.
Unfortunately, Kennedy’s good luck soon turns: she earns herself a new nickname, things between her new friend group are not going smoothly and she has to go on a school trip to a theme park when she’s TERRIFIED of heights. To top it all off, The Mother has made them go vegetarian (aka STARVE TO DEATH). Things couldn’t get any CRINGIER.
