This is a story about a young woman who does all the wrong things, yet we keep rooting for her. Bad Marie is written very well, keeping the reader's attention. The story is a very unique one.
Marie is actually a very entertaining character. I could have stayed up all night and finished this book in one sitting if I didn't love sleep so much. Problem is, this book has no ending. And for this, I had to take away a couple of stars.
Marie makes a lot of bad decisions. But I did not see her as an evil character. She is incredibly careless, lazy, and has almost no ability to predict the outcome of her actions. She acts as a child, even though she is thirty years old. I cannot dislike her for this. But it is impossible to sympathize with her as well. Overall, this is a good story. But as I said before, it just stops. I literally turned the page expecting a new chapter and there was nothing there. When I arrived at my book club meeting, I asked to see someone else's copy of the book so I could verify that I did in fact receive the entire book in my purchase. The book just stops. And that made me angry. We all know that things will not end well for Marie. But some sort of conclusion is required. So I'd like to respectfully request that Ms. Dermansky finish Marie's story and let me know when it is done. ;-)
