Life by Committee by Corey Ann Haydu
3.0
Girl turns to an anonymous website and people to help her resolve her problems. Tabs posts a secret on the website, then is given an assignment. The Life By Committee website preaches that the committee can help a person live their life better than just one person making decisions on their own. Will this new risk taking Tabs really be able to land the boy she likes and deal with her new baby sister?
This book was okay. It was an interesting concept, but I don't think that the moral and ethical implications were really grappled with. While this idea was touched on, I would have liked more discussion about it. I do think that it clearly presents how people are more apt to turn to online strangers for advice, than making real connections. The characters irritated me. I would not want to know these people in real life. The drama that set the plot in motion really didn't seem to fit the ripples of action. It was just many different were instances performed by annoying/quirky characters.
