TO SWAP
Title: Diva
Author: Alex Flinn
Condition: Excellent condition ARC
Summary/Review:
Sometimes the only one a girl can confide in is her blog!
Subject: Fresh Start
Listening to: Medea (the opera named for the mythological woman who killed her kids just to bug her ex-husband . . . Reminds me of my mother.)
Feeling: Anticipation
Weight: 112 lbs.
For most people, the word "diva" means brilliant, talented, over-the-top, and glamorous. I, however, seemed to be trapped in the not-very-glamorous life of a cheerleader wannabe with serious ex-boyfriend issues and a permanent yo-yo diet. At least until the day I auditioned for Miami High School of the Arts-;and got in! All I had to do was convince my mother, the cosmetics salesperson with epically bad taste in clothes and men, that going downtown to hang with the music geeks was a good idea. I had to blackmail her to be able to do it, but I'm here-;a diva-in-training-;and I'm not so sure I can cut it.
Now what?
Willing to swap for: Open to suggestions =) Probably YA. I have been looking for Maureen Johnson's books 13 Little Blue Envelopes and Devilish, though, as well as Sara Zarr's Story Of A Girl. Other things might be good, too, though.
