Review of 'Miss Wyoming' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I have no idea why or when I read this book. It's not the kind of book I usually read. But I did read it and some of it stuck with me through the years. When I faintly remembered some plot points I decided to find out from which book they were from and it turned out it was this.

Overall I do not remember that I took an exceptionally liking to this book. Probably because, again, this is not the kind of book I usually read. It was an OK story, but I don't think I really liked the two protagonists.
