I haven't read anything by this author, but have wanted to, and from this short first impression I am definitely interested! I not only laughed at a lot of the banter and snarky teen thoughts and actions, I got emotional and totally commiserated with the bullying that was a part of the story as well. I think this could be a good read and I'd love to have a chance to see just what it is about this author that everyone loves, especially since I kind of get it from that short bit I read.
