Title: Confessions of a Not it Girl Author: Melissa Kantor type of book: YA Fiction (contemporary romance/ friendship) call number: YA/FIC This book is strong in character and story. Summary: Jan has a crush on Nick, whose sister she baby-sits. She keeps doing everything "wrong" and Nick believes she dislikes him terribly. I would recommend this book! Why? This is a good story of getting to know oneself and feeling comfortable in the world by finding your place in family, friendship groups, and dating. The book has humorous scenarios and is suspenseful until the end about whether or not Jan "gets her man." Other suggested reading: Georgia Nichols series (Angus, Sex God, Nungas, etc,) by Louise Rennison The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big, Round Things by Carolyn Mackler Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot Look for these and other titles in our !
