No, no one asked, but Holly Kim will tell you what she thinks anyway. Fifteen-year-old Holly Kim is the copyeditor for her high school's newspaper. When she accidentally submits an article that rips everyone to shreds, she gets her own column and rants her way through the school year. Can she survive homecoming, mean-girl cliques, jocks, secret admirers, Valentine's Day, and other high school embarrassments, all while struggling to balance her family's traditional Korean values? In this hilarious debut, Maurene Goo takes a fresh look at trying to fit in without conforming to what's considered "normal" in high school and how to manage parental expectations without losing one's individuality...or being driven insane.

This book is definitely one of the stupidest, most pointless pieces of nonsense I‘ve ever read.

Going into this book i had high expectations but this author's newer books are way better written. I was so disappointed that this book wasn't better

Mehso-so

The life of a typical teenage girl, that happens to also be Asian American. Has arguments with her mother, as she experiences new things and tries new things.

I liked the book.. but it seemed unfinished. Like it needed a chapter or two more.. or maybe it needed another book.. I don't know..
I am about to start another book of hers I hope I am not so-so with this next one

#litsyswaps #litsywap Okay with my flub up, and everything fixed. I decided to do another post of it! I can't say no to the one out of state, that is so rude. So everyone is welcome to join in the #HelloFrom exchange. You can have your choice; states only or out of the country! All is welcome!

bullbunny Thank you @LitsyHappenings for spreading the word 6y
iread2much Hi! What is the theme for this exchange? Thanks! 6y
bullbunny @iread2much basically souvenirs from where you live, to the other person. With options to send other things with it, like a book etc. Like getting things you would get on a trip, but not having to actually do it, it comes to you 6y
iread2much @bullbunny thank you! That‘s a cool idea 😄 6y
bullbunny @iread2much you're welcome to join all is welcome ^^ 6y

Currently reading this book. This is the author's first book, and I bought another of hers. Bouncing back and fourth between this and #Sadie
Interesting so far, a nice light read. With a good flow.

My recent book order from bookoutlet! I have a couple others but they're for an exchange. Now I have 3/9 of the hardbacks of the night world series. So pretty, must resist rereading them 🤣

I read this book in about 24 hours, and it was such a fun, fast read. I don't have a lot of first generation Korean-American stories on my shelves, and I loved the perspective on high school. It was both a different experience from mine and similar at the same time. So cute, so good. Also, hi David, you belong with Holly. 😍

For when you just DNF'd a book and you want something fun and light and high schoolish.

For #authorconfession today, I was asked about my favorite cover art. I ran around to all my bookshelves and pulled out some of my faves - this is by no means an exhaustive list. But I do love a simple, gorgeous cover. 😍😍

So happy to add this to my library! I read it a couple years ago and liked it so much.

Maurene Goo has a new book out next year, and I'm so looking forward to it! I've pre-ordered already 😊
