"I loved this book :) The storyline was so cute and I really appreciate the well-written irony in this book. It's a story that I would have wrote had I thought of it. Only a few things in this book bothered me, and they weren't that big of a deal, but still annoying. The first is just grammatical and spelling errors that make reading irritating. I just wanted to go through with a red pen and mark them all. Another thing was the word 'okay ' which in my opinion, should be spelled o-k-a-y but in this book it was always 'OK', 'ok ' or 'Ok'. Spellings and capitalizations should be consistent through out the book, but they were not in this book. The last thing that bothered me was the constant changing of location without descriptions. It seemed like every page, Emma was in a different place and then the next page, she'd go back to where she previously was. Never when Emma was in a new place, was there a real description of the scenery; it was all dialouge and thoughts. <br/><br/>I liked that this book could have gone either way. Emma could have chosen to be herself, or pretend to be who everyone wanted her to be. Although good usually wins out, this book had an equal chance of going the other way. The characters in this book we're pretty real but also definately what you'd find in a chick-flick movie. Overall, this book was super cute and I did enjoy reading it :)"
