Chronicle Concering Books Rx
Thyme Gilchrest is an honors student.Thyme Gilchrest is popular.
Thyme Gilchrest is on student council.
Thyme Gilchrest is a drug dealer.
Like piecing together a logic puzzle, Thyme has organized a complex trading system that enables her to obtain the meds her friends need. They all come to her to diagnose their problems and provide the "cure" -- be it Prozac, Ritalin, Vicodin...She's therapist, doctor, and pharmacist all in one. She helps people. And that makes her feel a little more in control -- a little more capable of dealing with her own frantic high school life. Because Thyme Gilchrest is nothing if not good at dealing.

Was OK, I guess. Not that great of a read.There wasn't really anything that made the book stand out from any of the other drug books I've read. It was just average...It was really drugs. Dealing, receiving, trading, using and all that. Pretty much everyone in this book used drugs.The main character was pretty stupid and annoying to me and the other characters were just really just there to be there.I don't rally know what to say to this book and I'm not sure how you could try to make it better.I should have stopped...I really wish the word "retarded" was not used even once. A story about prescription drug addiction that high schoolers with a lot of pressure might have. The language ruined it all for me.
It was hard for me to get into this book for some reason. The writing was not was I was used to, and it started kind of slow. But as I kept reading it finally picked up and it wasn't a bad book in the end.
This book was... not good. On so many levels. Lynn tries way to hard to seem 'with the times' and she fails spectacularly at it. As much as she makes fun of certain characters for sounding like a cliche teen drama, her entire writing style comes of as just that. She tries to be witty and sarcastic but it just comes off as needy and desperate. She also has a fundamental misunderstanding of modern high schools. No one goes into the bathroom and starts loudly asking for drugs, that's literally not
Rx certainly isn't original, and it has afterschool special written all over it, but it's not a bad book and its main character is no conventional drug dealer. The trouble for her is that she's giving away restricted medications and diagnosing her friends with mental illnesses, and it's not long before the consequences hit her like a brick wall.
So, other than this book being INSANELY boring, I had a real problem with the message, but more on that in a minute. First, this book Bored. Me. To. Tears. I did not care about the main character, Thyme, at all. She was vapid and predictable. And, you know, a drug dealer. Also, this book had virtually no plot except for Thyme selling prescription drugs, trading one drug or another drug, and complaining about her best friends. *yawn*But, my biggest, hugest, most GIGANTIC complaint is that there
