Enjoyable Addition to the Teen Fiction Genre, September 30, 2004
This review is from: Who's Your Daddy? (Paperback)
Sixteen-year-old Lila Moreno, and her two best friends Caressa Thibodoux and Meryl Morgenstern, are utter mutans in the high school social scene. And it's not because of something any of them have done. No, that's not the case. It's more of who their Fathers are that scares guys away. You see, Lila's Dad is the chief-of-police, Caressa's Dad is this uber-famous musician, and Meryl's Father is not only the driver's ed teacher, and the football coach, but also the dean of discipline at school. Due to their Fathers' chosen careers, all guys are utterly terrified to even step one toe near any of the girls. Hence, they have never had a date, and at this rate, they never will. Until the three friends decide to take matters into their own hands, and hold a Dumb Supper - a Celtic ritual that can show girls who their soulmates are - on the night of the homecoming dance. Now their Dumb Supper has backfired, and is pointing all of them in the wrong directions, and making a complete mockery of their dating lives.
Following in the footsteps of such teen fiction writers as Meg Cabot, and Louise Rennison, Lynda Sandoval has created an enjoyable novel that entwines the crazy lives of three likable characters, into one quick read. Each girl possesses her very own, unique traits that will be enjoyed by female readers young and old; while the crazy situations each girl gets herself into will have readers rolling on the floor laughing. An enjoyable new read for fans of teen fiction, in general.

MY FAVORITE BOOK EVER!!!!!!!, February 24, 2005
This review is from: Who's Your Daddy? (Paperback)
I usually have a hard time answering the question, "What Is Your Favorite Book?". But now, this book (along with another book called "Getting Near To Baby" by Audrey Couloumbis) is my answer! I admit, this book was sort of unreal at the end, but you can't help loving it. It's about 3 girls, Lila, Meryl, and Caressa who are social pariahs thanks to their freaky fathers. They do a dumb supper ritual that is supposed to make the first boy you see after the dumb supper date you. The dumb supper does not go as planned, but yet....it does. You will see what I mean if you read this book! It's so good, I can't bear to give away any good parts!

BAD REVIEW IS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR!, February 27, 2005
This review is from: Who's Your Daddy? (Paperback)
I am sorry, but this last review is totally uncalled for. There is absolutely nothing in this story that is insulting. Considering the fact that Ms. Sandoval is herself a former police officer who left the Force to pursue her writing career, I can assure you that she has nothing but the highest regard for officers of the law.
I found this book absolutely WONDERFUL (I am 43)....My 16 year old Son and my 11 year old daughter both read this book and they loved it.
I did not find it to be in any way trite, boring or offensive. NOT AT ALL. For the life of me I cannot fathom what the heck the last reviewer was so insulted about. Has this world come to a point where "Political Correctness" has gone too far? Nobody can say anything any more least they offend someone.
This last reviewer comes across to me as a person with a huge chip on their shoulder. All I can say is "Lighten Up and Enjoy Life and Good Books."
My family found "Who's Your Daddy?" to be LAUGH OUT LOUD funny and we HIGHLY recommend it to EVERYONE of all ages.
