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!!

I don't think there's much to say about the book, it's so breath - taking. I love it. You really have to read the book to see what i mean, i'd recommend it to anyone!

I absolutely LOVED "Feeling Sorry For Celia". It is my favorite book, and if anyone tells you that it's no good, they are lyers with their pants on fire! Read it as soon as you can; you DO NOT want to miss this one. I wanted to rate it a 100, but the scale only went to 5. What were they thinking when they made up that scale???

An amazingly written book! Elizabeth Clarry's life is far different from my own, but her story and experiences are relevant to any teenager's life. Insecurities, friends, wacky families, and finally, growing up are all significant aspects of this book. Elizabeth's dreams and aspirations are just like any other teenager's, a dream of a life far different from his or her own. Elizabeth portrays the emotions and vulnerability of anyone, and the format of this book is very unique. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a humorous take on the life of a teenager. I could not put this book down and I absolutely loved reading it.
