Same Old "YA Fiction" Crap, Nov 2 2009
Honestly?
Is this really you writing Miss Elizabeth Scott? Because I thought you were the woman who penned 'Perfect You' and oh my! - 'Living Dead Girl'?
Was that you...really?
Well...this is a HUGE let down.
Why, please tell me, WHY do great authors succumb to the general market? Do they not know that the "general" AKA stupid effing average "market" consists of thirteen, fourteen year old teenage girls with horrible taste in music and a burgeoning promiscuity?
Really now?
With that lovely title you could have written a fantastic story.
Even some of the plot was great.
But why...why did you make Hannah a "hot-boy fiend"?
I got that Josh was "oh so freaking sexy" in the first couple pages...didn't need to hear that through-out the damn book.
Plus, I was seriously expecting more.
I loved Perfect You.
Kate was such a refreshing characters from the likes of Bella and other YA Fiction females who didn't even deserve to be called women.
I know you are a good author.
Please...PLEASE do not write your next book like this!
I'd like some literary "amazingness" going on here. OH...pardon me...I meant, some explosive literary beauty dripping from every letter off the page.
I know you are capable.
And as for others...
I'd recommend not getting this book (unless you liked Twilight and all that).
If you like "good books" please...pick up a classic or perhaps 'Paper Towns' by John Green. (Miss Scott...I recommend you read this book too. It is about teenagers, but they aren't bubbleheads in this one.)

Courtesy of Teens Read Too, Aug 20 2009
Hannah's parents are embarrassing. Hannah's mom, Candy Madison, is a former "celebrity" who's known for a certain revealing pizza commercial, a short-lived TV show, and being the girlfriend of famous playboy and Hannah's father, Jackson James. She doesn't talk to her dad and her mom spends most of her time in online fan chats.
Hannah wishes she was a normal girl with a normal life who could attract the attention of her co-worker, Josh, who is obviously her soul mate (he just doesn't realize it). But the annoying Finn keeps getting in the way, and for some reason Hannah can't stop thinking about him.
I don't know how Elizabeth Scott does it, but she continues to amaze me with every book. Can I just bottle some of her talent, please?
SOMETHING, MAYBE is the perfect love story, but it's not just a romance. It's a story about loss, family, acceptance, and forgiveness. It goes beyond what a light romance typically does without feeling like a heavy issue book. How Elizabeth Scott pulls all this off is what makes reading this book so much fun.
The most amazing thing to me is that I was totally drawn in to Hannah's world. When Hannah felt frustrated with her father, I felt frustrated. When she was upset, I was upset, and when she was happy I cheered with her. I really emotionally connected with the story and the characters, which made this one such a rewarding read.
And Finn....sigh....I love Finn.
If you haven't picked this one up yet, put it to the top of your reading pile now! SOMETHING, MAYBE is my new must-have book for Summer Reading.
