I really didn't care for these characters, and the protagonist seemed to be avoiding her life in helpless annoying ways. Nothing good happened in this book.

Really entertaining, but superficial. I found the main character hard to believe, but otherwise liked the stories. While it is a novel, Katie switches from character to character, from first person to third, so the chapters feel like short stories.

This book is a sad example of why I sometimes feel bewildered by straight fiction writing. It seems to be full of unhappy people with no explanation or obvious motivation for what they do; they simply blunder through. Yes, somedays I too feel unfulfilled and blunder through, but rather than feel kinship with the main character, I simply don't want to spend time with her. A book about a life, but one with no thoughtfulness or meaning behind it. Don't bother.

Should have stopped earlier but plowed through about half of the book still could not become engaged with the characters or their plight.

I couldn't really decide about this book. I really liked the author's list of her favorite books in the back.

The change in voice from 1st to 3rd person was confusing. I couldn’t follow the timeline since it jumped around. It was almost a compilation of short stories. It was kind of entertaining but I’m disappointed it wasn’t just a little more held together.

Despite the misleading summary on its back cover, Girls in Trucks is a collection of chapters surrounding Sarah Walters, her friends, and her family as they fail at romance. From her public sexual assault as a child by her evil cousin to her stalking of her abusive ex-boyfriend years after they broke up, Sarah’s experiences are simultaneously horrific and uninteresting. The men in Sarah, her sister, and her friends’ lives are boring, weird, and mean. The only thing worse than these men is reading 256 pages about them.

I stuck it out basically to write this horrible review.

In some ways, it reminded me of a really horrible version of Girls in White Dresses. Girls in White Dresses was one of my favorite books from last year, telling the story of a group of friends who graduate from college thinking the world is their oyster only to have their dreams altered when reality sets in (a full review can be found here), and basically I loved it for how much it mirrored my own life. They both follow a group of girlfriends as they grow up and mature and change point of view with almost every chapter, but that’s just about where the similarities end. None of the characters in Girls in Trucks really seem to mature, they aren’t interesting enough to make you actually care about what happens to them, every one of them has serious addiction and dependency problems that are swept under the rug, and the only problems that seem to plague them are solely romance-related. Plus, the whole book seems to read like one mistake after another. “Hmm, I slept with this random guy and woke up to find his angry wife screaming at me in their bedroom? How about I move to South America to chase some other loser!” I felt like banging my head against the wall the whole time. To make it worse, Girls in Trucks tries to pass itself off as Southern fiction, and it is so disappointing in its attempt that it insults the entire genre.

I wouldn’t recommend Girls in Trucks at all. For the very few women on Amazon who gave it great reviews because they found it easy to relate to, I will keep your personal lives in my prayers.

This book could easily be made into one of those crappy Lifetime movies. One horrible man after another. The protagonist never seems to learn from her mistakes. I didn't care about any of the characters. I'm confused as to why the viewpoint changes so much throughout the book as well. I read it very quickly, but about halfway through I realized I didn't really care what happened in the rest of the book.

It's not the best book I've ever read, but it's the not the worst. I had such high hopes for it, only to be disappointed that it never lived up to my expectations.

this book was kind of a rambling mess
