Review of Something, Maybe by Elizabeth Scott

                                                                     
                                                                       Title: Something, Maybe

Author: Elizabeth Scott

Description: Everyone thinks their parents are embarrassing, but Hannah knows she’s got them all beat. Her dad made a fortune showcasing photos of pretty girls and his party lifestyle all over the Internet, and her mom was once one of her dad’s girlfriends and is now the star of her own website. After getting the wrong kind of attention for way too long, Hannah has mastered the art of staying under the radar . . . and that’s just how she likes it.
Of course, that doesn’t help her get noticed by her crush. Hannah’s sure that gorgeous, sensitive Josh is her soul mate. But trying to get him to notice her; wondering why she suddenly can’t stop thinking about another guy, Finn; and dealing with her parents make Hannah feel like she’s going crazy. Yet she’s determined to make things work out the way she wants-only what she wants may not be what she needs. . . .
Once again, Elizabeth Scott has created a world so painfully funny and a cast of characters so heartbreakingly real that you’ll love being a part of it from unexpected start to triumphant finish.

Review: I really enjoyed this book because its easy to relate to. Not necessarily the part about having a dad with a party lifestyle who pretends you don't exist, but the part about trying so hard to be someone you're not just to get noticed. Often it doesn't work and when you just start being yourself, life is so much easier. I thought this book was good, not extremely thought provoking, but I would still recommend it.

Bottom Line: Something, Maybe is a good book about growing up, and living life.

Rating(1-5): 4
