Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List

Okay, this is the greatest book. I am not usually a big fan of Young Adult Fiction, but this one had me reliving High School and laughing out loud! The main character reminded me a bit of one of my best friends in High School Robyn. Mostly because of her nack to fill her life with embarrassing moments.

I just got to see West Side Story at Highland High School last month so it was fresh in my head as I read this book. I think that made it all the funnier as the characters in Fame, Glory and Other Things... put on a very unique version of West Side Story. Honestly I was laughing out loud so hard that I was crying and my nose was running!

Janette Rallison is definitely one I will seek out again.
