My Almost Epic Summer by Adele Griffin

This is the first book, that I am challenging myself to finish reading. At the end I found myself wanting the book not to end. Now, I will give you a summary that I found off of Amazon:

Irene loves hair and plans to open a salon someday. In the meantime, she combines her stylist yearnings with her love of literature, drawing hairdos from great novels in her ever-present sketchpad. After she flops at washing hair at her mother's beauty shop, she's forced to take a job babysitting. It's at the beach, where she takes the kids to swim, that she first observes lifeguard Starla, a beautiful drama queen on whom she gets a girl crush. Soon Irene is checking out Starla's blog, and she quickly realizes that Starla has noticed her--and appointed her the Witness, the person who will observe her vengeance against D., the boyfriend who dumped her. The role includes Irene's watching Starla key D.'s car. With Starla so hung up on D., it's disconcerting for Irene to realize that D. is interested in her.

Like I said before, I didn't want this book to end, I got so caught up in the gossip, and literature talks that it pulled me into its crazy beautiful written world. I strongly recommend this book to anybody who enjoys reading YA Fiction. Though, I did start getting annoyed with two of the younger characters, they add flavor to the novel, and without them it wouldn't be interesting.

When I was at the library, I needed a book to read, and without reading the back, or knowing anything about this book, I checked it out. Now, because of this book I have restored my trust in the "random book-picking at the library" technique. Thank You Adele Griffin for writing this wonderful novel.

Silence is silver, but Books are golden...
