I finally finished this book after weeks of reading it in 15-minute intervals.


This is one book where it might be more worthwhile to purchasse it, rather than use your mother's library card to check it out.  But either way, you need to check it out.

( If you can make it to puberty without already having become a Catcher in the Rye casualty you're a better man than I, and I'd love to know your secret. It's too late for me, but the Future Children of America will thank you. )

I liked seeing Kate Brian at my library - it was like running into an old friend, almost.  This was written a few years before Fake Boyfriend.


I am slightly disappointed that I wasn't about to find a bigger image (what can I say?  I like consistency in size). 

Edit: I've found a nicer book cover, along with a new-ish title.  I like this one much better.  How cute are those dresses and legs?



I think I've figured out why I don't find Brian's books as memorable or as singular as others.

( Reach for the stars. Yeah. Eva couldn't even reach for the salt and pepper. )

It took me only a few days to finish this.  Warning: Do not read if you yourself have broken up with someone recently.  This writer knows exactly how a girl feels after a break-up, and it's almost depressingly realistic.


Who could not resist that cover?  However, it was the summary on the back that convinced me to pick it up.  Having been involved in my high school and college newspaper, I almost had to pick this up.

( The happiest dumpee on the block. )

I have bought a shitload of books lately.  Like, buying them faster than I can read them.  Right now I'm in the middle of Bergdorf Blondes, Prep, and Pants on Fire.  And I have opinions.  So I thought, why not relieve stress brought on by (lack of) GRE preparation and actually use this thing for the first time in 6 months?

So, the first of many: The Juliet Club.


Okay, technically I had to read this book for a class (shout-out to Erica Hateley!), but it still counts as YA fiction, so here it is.  It wasn't spectacular.  You know that phrase, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"?  Well, strike that.  Reverse it.  That's how I feel about this book.
