Which is according to the dictionary on my Kindle app is “an observation that contains a general truth.� Or really, quotes. So this little book is just a bunch of observations/quotes the author came up with. Some are common knowledge like “if you can’t find something, clean up.� And some just didn’t make any sense “The bird, the bee, and the bat all fly, but they use different kinds of wings.� What kind of advice is that! Some people will get use out of this book, I just wasn’t one of them. ...more

I guess I shouldn’t be so hard on her for becoming smitten with an older lifeguard, but he himself should know better. Dude, you’re 18, stop flirting with 13 year olds. ...more

It was slow moving and had lots of editing errors and really no good explanation on how the ghosts came back and why people were able to see them.

The whole time I was reading this all I could think of is ‘Why should I believe anything this nutjob says.� Which is kind of how I felt about her firsThe whole time I was reading this all I could think of is ‘Why should I believe anything this nutjob says.� Which is kind of how I felt about her first two books. I felt like she just wanted a reason to share stories of her life. In one chapter she called herself an Oprah Kid which is a term I’m pretty sure she made up for kids who came home to an empty house because both parents were at work so the kid watched Oprah. Girl, we are the same age and as far as I know, not once has anyone referred to our generation as Oprah kids. And I don’t believe for one second that you’ve seen every episode of Oprah.
