From J. Kaye's Book Blog

Libby Faucett has a secret blog. She uses it more as diary to tell how she feels about what happens at school, about her best friend, her cousin and even her crush. Her mother begins to date her arch-nemesis's father. On one of their dates, Libby's mother invites Angel, her arch-nemesis, and her father to dinner at their apartment. Angel sneaks into Libby's room and prints out her entire secret blog, and then sends it all over school. This turns Libby's world upside down. This book is funny as well as a page-turner.

This is April, not Lorna. (her daughter)

At 1st, the book was ok in the 1st chapter. Not very interesting, but after that I couldn't stop turning the pages! I had to know what happenes in the next chapter. The ending was expected... but I still loved reading on the details of what happened. I would recomend this to freshmen, or sofmore highschool students. It seemed a bit young for me.

Finally Found A Book I've Been Looking For

When I first picked up this book I thought it would be just another book that I would lose interest in. But after the first blog I couldn't put it down. I actually could picture and understand what I was reading! I really felt connected to Libby. I felt sad for what she had to go through sometimes, but not as sad as when the book was over. I recommend this awesome book to anyone who is looking for a super fantastic read!!!! I really, really hope that this will become a series, because finding this book helped me enjoy reading!

Courtesy of Teens Read Too

Sometimes you just have to have a place to vent, ya know? That's why Libby Fawcett started her blog. She wrote about her most embarrassing moments, like when she caught her hair on fire in chemistry class right in front of Seth Jacobs! She posted an entry the day she found out her mom was dating someone and that it had been going on for months. She blogged about her morning breath that tasted like she'd "been eating socks" in her sleep and the pimple on her earlobe. And she wrote about her cousin, Roger, who was crushing on her best friend, Keisha. She wrote about everything. And why not? She'd taken precautions. The blog was set to private. No one else could see it. Could they? Angel Rivera, Libby's sworn enemy, torments Libby on a daily basis at school. When the girls discover their parents are dating one another, the harassment escalates. When Libby finds herself suspended after one of Angel's pranks, she realizes that she's being used to help break up their parents. Does she really want to cause her mother that much pain? Doing the right thing becomes even more difficult after Angel manages to turn the entire school against Libby. SOMETHING TO BLOG ABOUT by Shana Norris is funny and engaging, a wonderful glimpse into the topsy-turvy emotions of a teen in love, who's also dealing with a parent who's dating and in love. I was only a few chapters in when my twelve-year-old daughter snagged my copy and read it straight through. She loved it! This first novel by Shana Norris is definitely "SOMETHING TO BLOG ABOUT!"
