I loved this book sooo much I could not stop reading it, I think it is one of the best books I've ever read along with "Finding Cassie Crazy". I think Jaclyn Moriarty is a FANTASTIC author. I can't wait to read more!

Well, I was actually looking for a place where I could write to the author herself to congratulate her. Basically, what I planned on telling her was: That she tapped so well into the minds of teenagers. I mean, you get some authors who write a pretty decent book with incredible plot lines, but just don't get it right. There's either too much sex, too little. Too much naivety or too little (same thing right?)

But I actually could really relate to Elizabeth. It's not that she's particularly like me, or that we have anything in common. She was just so normal and realistic that I believed she exsited. Saying that, however, I want to stress that it was still an extremely entertaining book, and I too read it in one night. I agree with the other viewers that its probably not a boy book. (As you've gathered I'm a tennage girl too) I recommend the book for the same genre (teenage girls)

I've never laughed so much when reading a book! I love how you can really relate to Elizabeth as she gets bombarded with imaginary letters from "the association of teenagers", the cold hard truth association", and all the others! Made me wanna write letters to all my friends. I think every girl should read this book!

I really enjoyed 'Feeling Sorry for Celia'. I am a 13 year old girl (soon to turn 14) and I love this book because it is so engaging. It is continually interesting, because there are unique storylines and several unexpected twists. The characters are realistic, and it makes me wish that I really knew Elizabeth and Celia and Christina. The characters have personality traits that I see in other people I know. Elizabeth's dad often seems to be trying too hard, and one of my friends gives me the exact same impression. All in all, this book was humorous and wonderful.
