I read this book a couple of years after it came out, and I have to say it is one of the worst books I've ever read! I used to own the book many years ago, but I gave it to the library or something. Now that I'm older and I've read a lot more books, I wanted to see if it was still the way I remembered it. It was. Some things I noticed this time around that I didn't the first time was that it has language in it. It's definitely NOT approiate for tweens and under (if it's really appropriate for anyone at all). What's worse is that this book was selected to be a part of a 'series' of books that encourage kids to read and write by a woman with a bachelor's degree, a master's degree in history, a professional diploma in reading, a doctorate of humane letters, AND she was also a teacher and an author! Are you kidding me?? I laughed out loud.

Sage dreams of becoming a romance writer, but her writing stinks (unfortunately, I think she may have gotten it from the author). Sage is stuck in her own little bubble and can't hear anything someone says about her story unless it's praise. Even when George tells her it's bad, she thinks it's a masked compliment. And George's character is pretty unbelievable (not in a good way either). He doesn't try very hard to tell her the truth, and instead opts to hide her hand written story and then lie about losing it (which turned out to be pointless because she saved it on the computer).

And you know what the worst part of this book is? Once you get into the story, it's hard to put down. To me, this book is so bad it's funny. I'd stop and roll my eyes if I wasn't so busy reading it. It should be rated R for ridiculous. Bottom line, if you like sappy and/or gushy romance books, you'll probably like this, and if you're not sure about buying it, borrow it from your library.

Imagine waking up to a mother who is a writer. You love writing. Wouldn't it be great if you love writing and your mother is a writer? Having your first real kiss. Writing a romance novel with Angelica as the star and her one-eyed lover where ever she goes. What a great life! This is a great book if you want to be a writer and love romance novels and you just love reading.
Sage is a fifteen-year old girl who loves writing a lot. Sometimes her work doesn't always turn out right. Doesn't catch a person to make them want to keep on reading thinking of what well happen next. Don't get me wrong. Sage is a good writer, and she won the writing contest with George, her beloved lover. It was supposed to be a romance novel, not a hilarious one and everyone thinks it is hilarious that's why she won. Sage has made it not a hilarious novel because it's supposed to be about a woman who lost her husband. Now likes a one-eyed man that she see everywhere she goes.
You can tell Sage really likes writing. Since Sage has wrote more than 15 chapters in her novel. I know it's not long to some people but it is to her she has actually wrote non stop. Her writing is good, but she needs to read it over, giving other people a chance to tell her what she has did wrong. Not always say you love it don't you. Is it boring, does she get them into it. All of things she should think about first.
Sage has always had a big crush on George, never really admitted it to him, but you can tell she likes him. She pulled him out of a tree and kissed him, when they were younger. When Sage was younger that was the girls favorite game to play. Now she's doing it again, kissing George. She will likely go out with George. Likely marry him.
Sage has had some problems in the past, and now she knows what she did wrong in her writing, in her love life. I think when she gets older she will be a great writer someday just like her mother. Maybe not dress and do the weird things her mother does to get her writing the best. Since she will figure out what she has done wrong by then. Since Sage likes writing so much and George will always be her one-eyed lover and be by her side in the end.
Sage is a good writer. She likes writing. She likes George. She will become a great writer. In all of this, this is a great book about romance and writing. This will be a great book for someone who loves romance, writing, reading, and even to get tips on love and dating. 1

This is a totally hilarious book. I loved Sage's novel because it showed me why romance writing gets on my nerves sometimes. I also liked George. He's not a typical guy hero, certainly not one that Sage would write about. But he's very, very nice and perfect for Sage. I think if I ever wrote something really bad I'd want someone to tell me, too. I love everything Carol Lynch Williams writes, but this book is my absolute favorite.

My Angelica is a very descriptive and fun book of a young teenage love. Sage and George are the main characters, and they secretly love each other without knowing it! Through these hilarious chapters, everything seems to pull together perfectly. I highly recommend it to people who enjoy a mix of comedy and romance. It is so beautifully written, and who doesn't like a good laugh once in a while?

At first when I saw this book, I didn't think I was going to like it, it seemed sappy. But it is cute with a sarcastic edge. I love reading Angelica's adventures which actually do sound like those stupid romance novels. And George seems so cute...

Written in brief chapters alternating between George and Sage, this book is a very fast paced read. Young teen readers will thrill at the silent sweethearts who don't have the guts to tell the other how they feel. George is a delightful young man with a heart of gold and chivalrous as well (what young girl doesn't want a knight in shining armour?) The ending leaves the reader with a good warm feeling and a chuckle. The humor is just right, the jacket cover is colorful and eye catching and adolescent and teen girls will come back asking for another book just like this one.

A satisfying romance and a laugh-out-loud story. What could be better? Sage and Oliver are two tremendously appealing characters.

I think this book was a great one. It really tells about a life of a teenagers daily life. It was great and I really like the end. the only reasone iI checked out is because my name is Angelica, and my sister's name is Olivia (Oliver).

The book was easy to read, captivating in a childish manner, and of course, in the end, the woman got her man. Basically, it is about a spacy writer who writes terrible romance stories. Her friend doesn't want to tell her because he's afraid her feelings would be hurt. Will she wake up to the real-life romance that's around her or keep her head in Angelica's story? It's up to you to read the book and find out.
