I loved this book so much!!! It is an awesome realistic fiction book. Its message is probably "appreciate who you are". My favorite character is Annabelle because she is so kind, and loving. It was a very funny story to read. Here is a short description of this story… Annabelle is in a group of friends. They are Rachel, Emma, Yumi, and Claire. But Taylor and her friends are bothering them, and being mean to them. Then, at thanksgiving Annabelle realizes that maybe Taylor is not so bad after all. Now she has to choose, Rachel, or Taylor? This book is a "must read". I hope you like it!!!!!!

It was good. I enjoy her work. Not the best book ever, but it deserves a review. It had good humor although, some of it was cheesy. It was good. It was good.
This is a pretty good book. So Annabelle's mom and her mom's boyfriend are engaged, and Annabelle meets her "incredibly hot" step-brother: Jason. When she's at Dweeble's friends house she meets Taylor one of the popular girls at school, and she immediately is friends with Taylor. But things are going bad when Annabelle is friends with Taylor, because now her friends are wondering why she's hanging out with Taylor. In the end, Annabelle finally realizes who her "true" friends are.
This is a really great book. It is really funny. I recommend this book to every one. So read it! :D
This book is the second book after Boys are Dogs and it's about the girl acting all shy and having, well cat behavior! She s hanging with her friends and going around, until she meet's her new dad's son (she calls dad Dweeble because his last name is Weeble and he is a dweeb) who looks nothing like him! He is hot but wayyyyyy to old for her. She also finds out who her true friends are...
