“PLEASE READ THIS! MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!Okay, maybe that was a bit melodramatic, but I’m sorry, I’m feeling a bit melodramatic at the moment.
Here’s the deal. My name is Brooklyn Pierce, I’m fifteen years old, and I am decisionally challenged. Seriously, I can’t remember the last good decision I made. I can remember plenty of crappy ones though. Including that party I threw when my parents were out of town that accidentally burned down a model home. Yeah, not my finest moment, for sure.
But see, that’s why I started a blog. To enlist readers to make my decisions for me. That’s right. I gave up. Threw in the towel. I let someone else be the one to decide which book I read for English. Or whether or not I accepted an invitation to join the debate team from that cute-in-a-dorky-sort-of-way guy who gave me the Heimlich Maneuver in the cafeteria. (Note to self: Chew the melon before swallowing it.) I even let them decide who I dated!
Well, it turns out there are some things in life you simply can’t choose or have chosen for you—like who you fall in love with. And now everything’s more screwed up than ever.
But don’t take my word for it, read the book and decide for yourself. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll scream in frustration. Or maybe that’s just me. After all, it’s my life.”
This sounds seriously interesting… I think mainly because I can relate to being unable to make up my own mind 😀
I think ima keep my eye out for this one.
Oooo I like that she’s not aware of the love interest right away and then slowly but surely it dawns on her. I think I’d really enjoy this book, thanks for the recommendation Savy!
Great review. I’ve heard good things about this book. Brooklyn sounds like a lovely character – real. I like how she grows slowly.
I’m really looking forward to this one and so far the reviews have been really good and the characters sound really genuine and likeable.

This one sounded so cute! I passed on it only because of the amount of review books (you rock while I whine the review books… LOL). It sounds like a fun book and maybe i’ll pick it up at a later day!
I’ve never even heard of this one before! I love that you’re always introducing me to new books, Savy 🙂
Thanks for the awesome review, I’ve seen this floating around and it looks really good to read. =)
I’ve been looking forward to this book for quite some time now so I’m glad you enjoyed it. It sounds like a refreshing romance with elements of teen issues and character growth. Thanks for sharing 🙂
