Full review here:

Life of the Party has some good moments sprinkled throughout and is helped by a solid performance by Melissa McCarthy. That being said, it suffers thanks to a script that is so focused on trying to be funny that it misses the opportunity to tell the story it should have told. A mother attending the same college as her daughter should be rife with potential, but it sidesteps that so much that it's almost an afterthought. It's a shame too as there was a great movie here somewhere, it's just hidden among so much mediocrity that its impossible to find.

3.5/5 - Cliche high school romance book - unconventional of course but still, cliche. I love Leah as a character though so I was stuck in it just for her - I wanted to know what would happen (even though I knew - HEA obvs) I was happy to get more Simon though - I think they need a "college years" book now in this and see how everyone ends up because, I'm curious. I feel like if I talk more about it it'd be spoilery - but I also feel like Leah is a bit self depreciating even though she's self confident.. i was a strange combination for my brain to comprehend.
