Great Review! I'm reading the book right now and it's great. To be young again... Although, I wouldn't like to go through puberty a second time. Lol

Amen to that! I sometimes feel like I'm still going through it some... twenty-five years later.

(Glad you're enjoying it!!)

Lol. Twenty-five years of puberty would kill me.

The book is tremendously enjoyable and I can't wait to read the next books about Corey and Andi. Please keep them coming.

Well, thank you! I appreciate that. You've made my day, and it's been a tired and lazy day so far. I'll get right on it! :-)

I'm currently formulating #7. :-)

That sounds really good! My Godmother Deee recommended it to me as well. I'm a teenager, so I'm still just figuring it out. I can't wait to read it and be reminded of not so distant memories :)

Lol. That would be crazy, although I have heard of 33 year old grandmothers before.

OMG, I would love for your twelve-year-old to read my book. I haven't had any younger readers, and I'd love to find out if they like it!!

This sounds like a book I need to put on my TRL. The title had already piqued my interest and your review has just made me more interested.

@Eyre-thee-well, I just finished this book and I think that you will love it given your delightful sense of sarcastic humor. Ha ha I'm a 34 year old guy who works with motorcycles and even I was left laughing constantly throughout the book due to the overwhelming amount of zingers scattered throughout.

I am anxious to read it. I have an Amazon gift card coming soon, and i already know how I'm going to use it. Having become acquainted with zeldas in some of the forums, I am convinced we are kindred spirits, and I am sure I will be delighted with her book.
