Critic reviews

"...her magnetic narrative will keep readers hooked." (Publishers Weekly)

I love this book. I read it in one day back in High school. I'm not feeling the narration, she is good but not the voice of a young adult.

Relatable

Gingerbread is one of my favorite books. I probably wouldn't be the person I am if it wasn't for this story. I loved how honest it was about sex and being a teenage girl. I wish the narration was better, maybe a bit younger sounding but still I don't feel like I wasted my money getting this.

Great story, meh narration

This was such an odd book. Cyd is a unique sixteen year old that has a difficult relationship with her mom and acts out for attention. She carries around a doll her birth father gave her when she was little and calls it Gingerbread. She acts like the doll can talk and move and is real and her family pretty much goes along with it. I felt like this was just one of the things about Cyd that screamed "needs a therapist." We learn that she's had an abortion and likes to cut herself, as well as defy her parents for no real reason. It did seem to do her some good to go to New York and meet her half siblings and her bond with her mom strengthened.
The narrator fit the character well, but she was whiny and difficult to listen to. There were good parts in the story, but I will not be reading the other books in the series.

Weird story

I definitely wasted a credit on this one and wish I could get it back. The narrator’s voice is atrocious and I didn’t make it 3 minutes in.

Reader is AWFUL

I'm sorry, I just couldn't get over her voice. It's too nasally. I'm really sorry.

omg
