I'm not sure why I waited! :) I do love just about everything she writes. If you haven't read Speak, Twist, or Prom, definitely check them out. They're SO good! ;) @Maggie, I read Wintergirls a few weeks ago, after having put it off for several months. I’m not sure why I waited! :) I do love just about everything she writes.

Nothing wrong with something that makes you think. Heck, make me think AND entertain me. That's a winner for sure! But there's totally a difference between making me think and doing my thinking for me. The lesson-y books try to do the latter, which is my problem with them! @Brandy, agreed! :) Though I’m not saying all books should be solely entertainment.

WHY do the books all have to have a preachy message? What's wrong with a bit of fluff for entertainments sake? That said, can't wait to see your cover! I’m like you.
