Boys, bullies, and blogs come together in a book that brings the popular online diary format to print.

For fans of Lauren Myracle’s ttyl, ttfn, and l8r, g8r, this fun, fast-paced book introduces an unforgettable and relatable heroine and features chapter openers designed to look like the pages of an online blog. An innovative debut, Something to Blog About is filled with the memorable missteps and heartfelt emotions of growing up.

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 Rodriguez, 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?

Debut author Shana Norris will win over a whole new generation of teens as she hilariously chronicles the pitfalls and triumphs of the life of a high school girl.

Libby is a normal everyday teenager who is
trying to make it through high school easily, but she has her own share of
problems from a secret crush of 2 years and the school bull. She feels that she

password-protected and only she can read. On her blog, Libby posts her daily
activities, emotions and plans. When she starts tutoring her crush everything
seems to be becoming too perfect. Her cousin has a crush on Libbys best
friend. The worst part is her mothers new boyfriend, who happens to be the
father of her worst enemy Angel. What will happen? Will Libby let Angel ruin
her life completely?

Libby Fawcett is probobly the single most clumbsiest person in the world. Only she can burn her hair on the bunsen burner! Sadly, that is the only way she can get Seth Jacobs (her crush) to see her. Now she figures out her mom is dating Angel Rivera, her arch-nemises in school, the one who makes her school life h-e-double hockey sticks. What do you do when your life is crumbling before your eyes? Start a blog!

This book was very cliche and was aimed more towards younger readers, because all the jokes and everything were very childish, the sweetness was also very childish. It wasn't one of my most favorite books but it was ok.

Libby Fawcett isn't very popular. She already has one enemy. It doesn't help matters when she almost burns all her hair off in front of her crush! After that incident things start to look up. Libby is able to vent her problems on her blog. Then when her enemy gets on her blog and prints out all her secret feelings, Libby is ruined. Everyone is mad at her. What's a girl to do?

This book was very good. It kind of shows you how some people hide their feelings. Like Libby would tell her friends she felt one way but then on her blog she'll say how she REALLY felt. I'd reccomend this book to the pre-teen age because it's short and sweet. Maybe a little to sweet.
