Jaclyn Moriarty's 'Feeling Sorry For Celia' was a fantastic read. In it is a mix of emotions and issues including: friendship, death, sex, lies and more. It shows young people that some girls haven't had their first ksis by 15 while others are pondering about having sex- it also goes into depth about friendships growing and growing apart. I absolutely loved it and to think that this was Jaclyn's first novel is beyond fantastic.

Feeling Sorry for Celia was such a good book! I've seriously read it like 5 times. I loved the format, and by the end of the book I really felt like I knew the characters. I would reccomend this book to anyone!

I think that Feeling Sorry For Celia was a creative take on the typical story of a teenage girl. Overall the book was tremendously accurate with its dipiction of a teenage girl. The book was not too long nor to short. It was the appropriate length for this type of novel. This book was engaging and a lot of fun to read!!
