Losing Louisa is book about a 16 year old girl named Lacey who is coming to terms or has to come to terms with many things that have happened or are happening in her life. Her sister's pregnancy shatters Lacey's perception of her sister as a prim, preppy, good girl. Lacey's father, who has deserted her and her family for another woman, is living in a posh house and expecting a child with his new wife. Lacey's mother is dressing in tight clothes, going out with a body-builder named Vinnie, and acting much like a 16 year old herself. As for Lacey, she is dealing with the everyday pressures of growing up. The fact that her crush is turning out to be a jerk. Her mixed feelings about her father. The guy from the deli who has a crush on her.Lacey is dealing with a lot, but throughout this book she learns a lot too. So does the reader. In general the writting was clever and humourous,as was the story, but also serious at some moments and sad at others. This book was an incredibly good read and i would recomend it for anyone (teenaged or adult) who wants to read a great book.

A Review by Nichole

The Book Losing Louisa is told by Lacey the younger sister in the book. Lacey's life hasn't been going very well ever since her parents got divorced. Things just keep getting worse and worse. Lacey is living with her mother Lenora and her older sister Rosie. Her father is living with his new wife and has a baby on the way. During the nights at Lacey's house she hears noises coming from the basement and she is too scared to go down there and see what the noises are. Lacey's mother thinks that it is just the neighbor cats. The most shocking thing wasn't that it is finding out that Rosie is pregnant and they don't know weather to keep the baby or put it up for adoption. I like how this book has a lot of real teenage things going on and the events aren't fake they are real thing that do happen. I like teen books and this is a teen book so it was worth reading. I usually don't like reading books and I did like reading this book I got really in to it. The things that lacey and the rest of the family are going through are normal and some people who might read this book might be able to relate to things in the book.

I would recommend this book to those of you who like teen books or realistic books. You can really get in to this book and imagine the things going on and how the people are feeling.

The struggles of Lacey and her potential love life, and Rosie and her decision about her growing baby can't help but keep you engrossed in the story. This is a great story of sisters who share their troubles and work to make it through.

This book is the worst, trashiest book I have ever read. It was about topics that trashy people like to read and I wish I would have realized that sooner than when I actually started reading. Just nasty, dirty, messages which didn't lead out to one thing. Be smart, and get a different book instead. The only reason that I gave this book 2 stars was because I felt so dang sorry for it!! It's just one of those trashy teen novels people label literature. Try some REAL books instead.

Well this book is mostly for teens. It contains teen situations and curses, foul language, and teen stuff. Well, it begins with a girl named Lacey that has a crush on two boys but at the end of the book she stays with one. Her mom wears tight teenage clothes and divorces and dates. Rosie, Laceys Sister is pregnant and has to chose between adoption or abortion. Lacey's cat dies and she gets a half-sister which seems that makes her jealous. This is book has many surprises and suspenses. It deals with the teenage life and it is a very great young adult book. I recommend this book to everyone.
