This was such a good book, it made me cry at the end! But overall, it was a fantabulishis book. Cathy Hopkins ROCKS! ( )

A cute YA book about 14 year old Lucy, who feels awkward when everyone else around her seems to have their lives together and on track to become the adults they want to be. She not only doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up, but she thinks she's losing her best friend, Izzie, to the new and infinitely more glamorous than Lucy, Nesta. She doesn't look 14 and she has had the misfortune to fall head over heels with Nesta's older, more sophisticated brother before she knows who he is. Definitely all the makings for teenaged drama here but Hopkins handles it deftly and without losing the naivete that makes her heroine sweetly entertaining. Less comedic than some similar books but also less world weary than others, this book fits in that small niche that makes this appropriate for my pre-teen daughter but also equally worthwhile for slightly older teens to read as well. This is the first in a series and while I'm not sure I'll follow the series any further, I will be offering it to the girl-child who likes real life sorts of books and I'd be happy for her to read the series if it does capture her interest.

I really enjoyed this quick YA read!!! Lucy is like most 14 year old girls, life is awkward her friends are blossoming and she's not, she feels threatened when the new girl arrives and starts hanging out with her best friend. With a little guidance from her friends and a whole lot of understanding and friendship she pulls through this little awkward stage and finds herself a more confident young lady. Although, more awkward phases could very well be right around the corner!! :) ( )

Very cute and funny British-girl-meets-dating-world book. Fourteen year-old Lucy is starting to feel very left out as her best friend, Izzy spends more time with newcomer, Nesta. Also, she looks so young she can’t even sneak into the movies when they all try together. When she unknowingly falls for Nesta’s sophisticated brother things get really messy. Worse yet, in answer to a school assignment, everyone seems to know exactly what they want to do when they grow up, even if they just say ‘rock star’ or ‘actress.’ Lucy just has no idea at all. It’s not until someone else notices her great clothing designs made from scrap and antique fabrics that she begins to understand that she too has a special talent. The tone is sweet while still being relatively funny and there’s the common message that not everyone is as perfect as they seem once we really get to know them. This is a big series (16 books?) so could really keep someone occupied for a bit. ( )
