You know how they say "if something is too good to be true, than its not true". Well it applies to What Not to Do In Your Senior Year.

This book came along at a great time when I needed a light read. I'm not to big on contemporary mainstream books but this one was great. I'm not a big fan of the cheesy romantic comedy they throw at girls assuming thats what we love, either-but this book was great. This book was so good that I didn't even realize it was a romantic comedy until I re-read the label detailing the genre. But it was really a quirky sweet story with lots of human flavor, not the mushy stuff.

The language was very simple, as the narrator was an 18 year old girl. The story about a girl who hast to fake her own death, and all chaos breaks lose afterward (in a darling fashion), was sweet. I didn't like how the author threw around the word "love" so much or how she tried to start a manual and a plain account at the same time and left both unfinished. But the book is so worth reading, you will love it and hate when it ends. Its even a book I re-read, and could re-read for half a lifetime, and I hate re-reading books.

So you know its good.

Girls should read it everywhere, its refreshing to the formulaic books in mainstream.
