I...I'm sorry this didn't have a wow factor. I'm not a total fan of contemporary stuff, but I do read it once in a while. I have to admit that I hate mean girls. Gag. They always seem to dampen the story (obviously in the way they're suppose to) in a way that makes me like the novel less. I mean, I already hate the movie, Mean Girls, why would I read about them?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877869290794236279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472726634139621642.post-40903190988438097382014-05-26T10:00:27.460-06:002014-05-26T10:00:27.460-06:00thanks Michelle!

I don't really care for when friends fight over a boy and it ruins their friendship. But this one sounds really cute and I love that you say it is a ya rom-com.
