Told from the perspective of reading a teenager's diary, this book tells the story of a young girl wanting a boy and captures the first person perspective of how she goes about that. Raw, witty and emotional, the book's narrative is believing and engaging. It felt written equally accessible to today's teen audiences and adults who want a quick and enjoyable read too. The only thing that felt rushed involved a subplot with the sister that while it moved to a natural point by the end, didn't feel like it had closure. Yet, that said, are diaries ever neatly wrapped up with closure? Truthfully, I wanted to know more about how the main character would continue to help the sister and that may be the reason it felt incomplete to me. Overall it didn't detract from the enjoyment.

this is a perfect book for those getting ready to start high school.
It shows what the new kids are going through.
Well written, love the diary format to help get into the head of
the main character. Recommend to all those getting ready to start
high school, and need some reminders they are not the only ones.

I'm am far away from my teenage years, but Bethany Lopez's Ta Ta for Now! made me feel like a teenager again. Written as a young girl's journal, it gives a believable tale of the trials and tribulations that can happen in high school. A must read for teens and adults who want to return to their youth. A POSITIVE 5 STARS and A DEFINITE TWO THUMBS UP! Luckily I had downloaded her second in the series so I didn't have to wait :)
