Evie has been homeschooled her entire life, but just once she wants to try out public school, before going off to college. A big fan of John Hughs' work, she has ideas about school that are all about to change.I don't know why I didn't get to this sooner. I enjoyed the mix of idealist and realist th...
3.5 StarsEvie (Evensong Sparkling Morningdew) has been home-schooled her whole life by a very unique and progressive mother. She decides to tackle her senior year at the local high school.
I liked the premise of this book, a girl who stands up for what she really believes in, even when no one would stand with her.Sadly, the premise didn't really come through for me. It felt rushed and too neat, if that makes sense. And really, Evie wasn't all that different. Sure, she took on The Esta...

In a world of television, social networking, and trying to live like the famous ...
This Girl is Different is a quick but powerful book. Evie, the main character stands up for what she believes in and as the title suggests, she is different and okay with it. I also like that she can admit when she's wrong, even if it takes a bit to get her to see that. Rajas, the love interest i...
Not bad, but not astoundingly good. I liked Evie, although her motivations seemed too grand. I felt like she could have used some more time getting used to high school before screaming about how unfair it was. I liked Jacinda and Rajas in the beginning, but the way their characters went seemed a lit...
3.5/5OVERALL IMPRESSION: This was a good book. I have recently started watching the show Gossip Girl, and this book reminded me of it what with the whole online gossip blog. This book was a good example of standing up for what you believe in, but also figuring out the right way to do that without hu...
