Tell Me Three Things

Jessie suddenly finds herself moved from her hometown in Chicago to LA. Her mother died and her father has unexpectedly remarried someone he met online. Jessie has to remake her life in a place she doesn't want to be with people she doesn't know or care about. And then she makes a friend in a very odd way: someone inexplicably starts sending her messages. The messages help. And they are funny. And delightful. But who is this new friend?

So then, three things I liked about this book:

(1) I liked the clever conversations both in the virtual world and the real world.
(2) I liked the look at both the meannesses and the kindnesses of the teen world.
(3) I liked the relationships that Jessie developed and how they helped her deal with her mother's death and her relocation.

Two thumbs up. Though I'm not sure about younger teen readers...lots of intensity....
