Book Review: Something To Blog About

January 22nd, 2008 Jenny

Libby Fawcett decides to start a secret blog so that she can have an outlet to vent her feelings and frustrations. When Seth Jacobs (her crush since eighth grade) witnesses her tragic (and comic) run-in with a Bunsen burner in chemistry class, or when she finds out that her mother is dating the father of her arch-nemesis, Angel Rivera, she’s able to keep a level head and make it through school each day with each blog posting. But when her entries get posted all over for the whole world to see, will Libby be able to walk the halls–or face Seth–ever again?

This book was exactly what I expected it to be and was predictable throughout the entire story. It only took me two days to read it. I would have finished it in one, but my son has a tendency to invade my alone time. But then again, it is for teen readers. Not twenty year old ones. And I’ll admit, I liked it for the most part. It was a good story, but I always knew what was going to happen next. And because of this I skipped over some of the more detailed parts and got right back to the talking. But for her first book, Shana Norris did a pretty good job writing it and mixing normal story with blog posts to make a story. It kinda makes you think twice about posting about people you know may find out about it sometime or another.
