Sarra is probably my favourite, I read almost all her books, Guitar Girl is also very good.<br />She recently published "Nobody's Girl" and this is a book I am looking forward to reading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-83892446266058002042010-03-13T11:46:57.424+00:002010-03-13T11:46:57.424+00:00Oooh, I can't wait to read the next in the ser...Oooh, I can't wait to read the next in the series!

I think maybe I should point out the diary entries aren't exactly "dear diary, today..." It read more like Edie is talking to you, it just has a date above it. I just wasn't keen on how some were kind of short. But it was fine in the end. I hope you give it a go, and enjoy it if you do! :)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828378728962868575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-4591207710248497742010-03-08T21:10:13.196+00:002010-03-08T21:10:13.196+00:00I have to say I'm not mad keen on diary-entry ...I have to say I'm not mad keen on diary-entry style writing... but I like the sound of this a *lot*.

I want to know what happens next! Oooh, I think I might just be addicted :)<br /><br />Jenny - Thanks! :) I did start to read your Sarra Manning toxic boy guest post last night when the start of my review was failing to save, but I didn't get very more. I'll read it now though. I can't wait to read the next ones! :)<br /><br />Jenn - Oh, it is, it's brilliant! I do hope you like it if/when you read it! :)<br /><br />Sophie - Dylan is awesome, in a completely infuriating way! I do love him, but if he continues being a div, I'm not going to be happy. I look forward to reading Edie and Dylan's future rows :)<br /><br />Sasha - Well, I only started reading Sarra Manning recently, so I wouldn't worry too much :) Thanks! It's a great book - and a great one to start with too, I'd say!
