emma.jpgWhen my friend Eileen Cook finished the manuscript for this book she sent me a copy of it to read. That’s why, even though I just finished reading the actual book, I felt proud to be able to give it a plug for the last month or so. Now that I’ve read it in its finished form, I’m really happy to tell y’all that you MUST buy and read this fantastic YA from Eileen and Simon Pulse. And if your wallet is still bleeding from Christmas, know that this is a paperback for an extremely reasonable price! If you still can’t afford it, then request that your library buy it. You won’t be sorry. It’s such an entertaining read!

I have noticed over the years, being friends with Eileen and all (and if you’ve read her hilarious blog, you will be able to back me up on this), that Eileen doesn’t really see the world the same way the rest of us see it. And I mean this in a good way. She finds the funniest things in the ordinary and this is true of her book too.

As if the release of her first YA isn’t exciting enough, watch this space because Eileen is putting the final touches on her Guest Blog for this website as we speak! Very soon, probably next week, she will be dropping by to discuss what it’s like to change from a writer of adult chick lit to writing YA. You won’t want to miss this! I bet she’ll even answer questions if you leave them in the comments section.

Congratulations Eileen!
