INTRO
Hey guys, I am Danasta and this is my book review blog on High School Story. This is my first blog so leave your feedbacks in the comment section. This is one of my favorite book because it was the first book I played and it always has an interesting and sometimes over the top plot .... cough cough book 2!. It also has many memorable characters like Emma, Michael, Caleb, Maria and Luis (who else were you expecting). High School Story has 3 books so this review will cover the first book.

PLOT SUMMARY
HSS involves an MC (boy or girl your choice really), who is new to a Oliver Berry High School. Your character makes new friends, join sporting activities, makes a couple of enemies and gets ready for homecoming with a special someone. Overall just a typical high school story with the Jock (Caleb), Bad boy (Michael), Shy girl(Emma), Girl who seriously needs anger management classes (Maria) and more. The main conflict of the book for the most part wasn't Hearst or any other external force, but rather it's the students of Berry. Think about it, Emma's insecurities and loneliness, Caleb getting over toxic relationships, Michael hiding his inner self, the inner turmoil in the band: Ezra vs Aiden, cheer-squad(Mia's jealousy of Sydney) and the football team (Caleb vs Brian). All these conflict start out as something petty and peaks at the football game against Sotton High. The result

CHARACTERS
For Characters I will split them into 3 categories the good, the meh and the bad with the bases being my likeability of the character and their purpose and execution.

Good
Emma (Important Character): I like Emma character even tough it seems simple on the outside(A plain girl with a nice and shy attitude. wOw iT sO uNiqUE), but she could have been a different person. In her freshman year, she didn't have much friend and also bullied, as it was shown in the first chapter when Brian talks her down about attending his party.

Also in chapter?? she talks about her rough family situation with the MC. She could have been mean and broken but because of her shyness she instead bottled up her emotions. Fortunately, through her interactions with the MC she later opens up more to people. Emma is almost in the same place as the MC in many scenes even going as far as to join the same after school activity. Her only flaw in this book was when she asked out Caleb after his recent break up with Zoe .My overall thoughts of Emma is a shy character coming out of her shell and I feel her role was well executed and I give her an 8/10
