Famous in a Small Town by Emma Mills
4.0
4- Number of Mills's books read.
4- Number of Mills's books that made me giggle/laugh out loud.
4 -Number of Mills's book that made me unexpectedly cry like a baby.
4- Number of Mills's books that left me with the "book high" I long for with every book.
Obviously, there is a pattern with Emma Mills, and she has quickly become one of my favorite YA authors. I adored Sophie and the entire cast of ordinary but rememberable characters. Sophie is full of whit and dry humor. I found myself constantly smiling or laughing at her antics. She is hilarious without the effort. I especially enjoyed the familial aspect; it's refreshing to have a book where teens and parents actually communicate. Even though there are tearful moments, I never felt saddened. At its heart, there is feel good theme, and a meaningful coming of age storyline.
I cannot wait for whatever Mills writes next; she is officially an auto-buy author.
Thank you to NetGalley and Henry Holt & Company for my advanced review copy. The finished hardback fits beautifully on my shelf as well.
