Caller 107 by Matthew S. Cox
4.0
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
Caller 107 is about a young girl going through her parents' divorce. She lashes out, like any tween would, however she goes a little too far.
I liked this book for several reasons - it's engaging and at times, witty. I found myself rooting for Natalie, even though I couldn't stand her personality. Moreover, I found myself rooting for her father, and for her friend Leigh.
However, there was a huge disconnect for me - Natalie consistently calls her father by several different "dad" names, however her mother is nearly consistently "Mother". It was weird, and while I think it was trying to portray the way Natalie felt in her head towards each respective parent, it still didn't jive the way it should have.
Regardless of all this, the book was well written without any major grammatical issues, or plot holes. I enjoyed it and found myself drawn into the story.
