3.5/5I've had this book for about 2-3 years, and I *finally* finished it. It's a nice coming-of-age story.

Excuse me for expecting a smiling girl in a rainbow shirt inside the cover.When there's a disconnect between the cover an...
I had been determined to be charmed out of my socks by this book. But after reading 47 pages I am still struggling to build up a connection to the protagonist or the people surrounding her. Being an impatient reader I have decided that a quarter has been effort enough.
4.5 stars“If you can’t get a boy, get a book, that’s my motto.”(Believe me, the ‘meta’-ness of me using this quote is definitely not lost on me!)From the very opening lines, Tiff’s voice is clear and distinct, flowing beautifully on the pages as she relates the events of Bill Condon’s heart-warming ...
