An interesting tale of a young girl trying to figure out various changing relationships in her life. What I enjoyed most were the quirky notes her mother left her. What's not to love about messages like, "If you're bored tonight why don't you write down everything that comes into your mind when you hear the word toothpaste?" or "I can't wait to meet your new friends. Please tell them not to put water in my Bacardi."

This is an adorable book. I didn't love it right at first, and it is about a teenage girl, but soon I was loving it. It got quite exciting as I got swept up in the story.

"A #1 bestseller in Australia, this fabulous debut is a funny, touching, revealing story written entirely in the form of letters, messages, postcards..."
