Sarra Manning's books may spoil me for other chick-lit. Of course you know what will happen in the end -- what fun is chick-lit if it doesn't have the happy ending? -- but she ensures that you become attached to the characters and their personalities, so that you actually care about the WHY rathe...
The story follows english internet sensation Jeane Smith and her strange relationship with her polar opposite, Michael Lee.

Adorkable is much more than the story of a successful blogger and the school’s most popular boy hooking up. Jeane is seventeen, lives on her own and is just as popular online as she is unpopular offline. Being a dork is her superpower. When her boyfriend turns out to be in love with another girl,...
I feel a migraine coming on (and I never get migraines!!!). I felt my blood pressure rising as I read more and more. At several points in the book I thought finally things were going to get better ( I couldn't have been more wrong if I tried). I'm just so freaking unbelievably angry, there are ab...

Everything. Not how things tasted and looked and felt; all that travelogue malarkey. But the important stuff. What was said and done and every nuance and inflection of the saying and the doing. Just so I have proof that I was there and it wasn’t a dream. Although I guess at times it seemed more l...
Kissing him the second time was just plain silly. And the times after that were sheer Oh-my-God-what-is-wrong-with-you-ness. It was obvious it wasn’t going to last but I never thought it would end with him calling me fugly and untrustworthy and just about the most evil, calculating person in the ...
We’re standing on the deck of the ferry on our way back from France in a force-ten gale, so his tufty dark brown hair is even more dishevelled than usual. Dylan’s got his arm around my shoulders and he’s squinting down at me and smiling fondly like I’m the greatest thing in the world. Even greate...
I know they’re just doing it to spite me. I mean, he’s younger than her and crap at making conversation and stuff. What can she possibly see in him? 18th April Still grounded but aceing all my pre-AS level mock tests. It comes to something when making a revision schedule becomes the highlight o...
I was angsting about the cost but Dylan insisted that we had plenty of money left and during the difficult phone call home when I had to persuade my parents that I wasn’t dying any more, they were adamant that we should use the credit card to pay for a hotel. In fact, my m...
At least it wasn’t home, where I was on intimate terms with every inch of my bedroom walls and had to choke down dinner under Papa’s ever watchful glare. I put my elbows on the table one night and he almost had an apoplexy. Fun times. At school it was easier to ignore six hundred people who hated...
She’d even bunked off so we could have lunch together on Monday. She didn’t mention what had happened on Saturday with Louis so she’d obviously never meant it to be a big deal and I wasn’t going to let it become one. It was why I didn’t tell her that I’d sent Louis a friend request, especially as...
