Summary

Lola Carlyle is lonely, out of sorts, and in for a boring summer. So when her best friend, Sydney, calls to rave about her stay at a posh Malibu rehab and reveals that the love of Lola's life, Wade Miller, is being admitted, she knows what she has to do. Never mind that her worst addiction is decaf cappuccino; Lola is going to rehab.

Lola arrives at Sunrise Rehab intent solely on finding Wade, saving him from himself, and-naturally-making him fall in love with her...only to discover she's actually expected to be an addict. And get treatment. And talk about her issues with her parents, and with herself. Plus she has insane roommates, and an irritatingly attractive mentor, Adam, who's determined to thwart her at every turn.

Oh, and Sydney? She's gone.

Turns out, once her pride, her defenses, and her best friend are stripped away, Lola realizes she's actually got a lot to overcome...if she can open her heart long enough to let it happen.

Review

First of all I would like to thank Entangled Teen for sponsoring this review and for sending me this book for review. As always, this review is 100% honest.

When I got Lola Carlyle's 12-Step Romance I expected to hate it. I mean, it's about a girl who fakes her way into rehab to get closer to a boy. That sounds sounds really immature and stupid right?

Lola was not a likable character at first. She did so many horrible things throughout the beginning and had such a bad attitude that she had a whole lot to make up for by the end of the book. I honestly think that a lot of people will stop reading it because of her attitude but she does get better.

For most of the book, Lola was so annoying. She was so annoying that I almost stopped reading the book and I honestly would have if I haven't received it for review. 

The love aspect of the read was incredibly predictable but no less enjoyable. The whole Wade thing was just pointless. I didn't like him at all and I felt like he took advantage of Lola.

All in all this read was enjoyable for me. The main character does make up for her behavior and I couldn't help but love her again. There were some great messages involved and some lovely characters that made me smile and feel for them.
