Hahaha! This book was so cheesy and kind of all over the place, but I had a great time reading it! It's a quick read (especially the second half) and I laughed out loud several times!

Trigger warnings: parental neglect, pet related emergency, (view spoiler)[sexually transmitted diseases, cheating (hide spoiler)].So here's the thing: I never had particularly high hopes for this book. But sometimes you just need a fluffy contemporary book to speed through, and this fit the bill nicely. This is...yeah, it's a prime example of why teenagers need adult supervision. It's a prime example of why teenagers shouldn't be allowed to make major decisions. It's a prime example of why you s...

I could sum up this book in one word: HILARIOUS!I had a whole lot of fun reading this.It was crazy.Everything they did was crazy.Maybe that was the reason I had fun reading it.I didn’t do the things they did when I was their age.I wouldn’t do it even if I could.You guys must be curious why I found this book so entertaining.April’s dad just blurred out one day that they were going to move to Ohio.Devastated April didn’t want to move to Ohio.She didn’t want to leave her friends.Her school.She didn...

one point for the cover,one point for the title,and two points for the nice story.This story gave a lot of knowledges to me, such as : 1. Don't easily give away your virginity to everyone. I don't know why but me and the book have truly different preception in the meaning of virginity and sex. I vote for sex after marriage. For me, losing our virginity means to give the best to our husband in the first night after we get married, not before marriage, or the worst is we gave it to our boyfriend w...

This book had its good points and its bad points. I definitely do NOT recommend for kids under 15, and I'm saying that as a 14 year old. MY SYNOPSIS: What is this book about? Well, love, sure. There's romance. But its not just that-- there's more to it than just girl-likes-boy-but-girl-has-boyfriend. April is faced with a crisis when her Dad announces that they're moving to Cleveland. She's got everything she's ever wanted where she already lives. A sweet boyfriend, great friends-- which is

Rating Clarification: 3.5 StarsNo one is perfect, but we all do the best we can. I guess you have to forgive when you can, move on when you can’t, and love your family and friends for who they are instead of punishing them for who they aren’t.4 girls, 3 guys, 1 cat, 1 hula tub, 1 crazy school year and 0 parents = 10 things April did and probably shouldn’t have. Despite this story being highly unrealistic, I found it engaging and pretty funny. There were times where I wanted April to just get cau...

I so eagerly awaited Ten Things We Did. And honestly, I was more than a little disappointed. Mlynowski gave the teenagers in her book a bad reputation, and I know for sure that I won’t be picking up anything else of hers any time soon.I get that this book was supposed to be funny, what with its unrealistic situations and one-liners. I get where Mlynowski was going, but the way she approached her subject made me disgusted and appalled. Before I get to April, who wins the Stupidest Character of th...

Read this review on my blog! --> Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) by Sarah MlynowskiI really love this book! It was so funny and bittersweet and different that I wanted to do something different for it. So here it goes.... Ten Things I Loved (and you will love too) 1. Mermaid impressions while drunk. 2. Best friends who will lie to your parents for you. 3. Paying in installments. 4. The Hula. 5. Brothers. Especially ones named Hudson and Dean. 6. Donut. 7. Babysitters with mod...

2.5 starsA very light, mindless, relaxing read.April's dad is planning to move to another state in the middle of her junior high year. Using some creative negotiating (=lying) April convinces him to let her stay with her best friend Vi to finish school, with no parental supervision. Partying, drinking, skipping school and hooking up ensue...Contrary to the blurb, I didn't find Ten Things We Did to be particularly funny. Or daring. Or romantic. Or profound. The story tries to touch upon the subje...

I actually put off reading this book for a while, I now know why. My subconscious mind was telling me it was not worth my time, but silly me I decided to read it. This book is okay, if you want to read it go ahead, if you were considering reading it and are sitting on the fence read it and don’t read it. My advice, don’t. Not worth it, it wasn’t a bad book, but it wasn’t a good book either. It was mediocre.What the book was about:The book started with one of the last scenes, after a party, when

Someone should burn this coverLet's just say the very first thing that needs to be said: UK publishers, what the hell have you done to this book? What happened to the cute girl/boy chick-lit cover and, more importantly, what happened to the original title? The actual title - Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) - conveys the whole "ooh, we're so baaaaad for doing that, but it sure was fun!" that this book is pretty much all about. This UK imposter title fails to hit the joke. And

It's okay- a quick read. It's almost the same as watching a teen flick. The writing is plain and direct. It's just like reading the diary of a 16 year old rich teenage girl. The narrator says anything she wants to say and there are several times I got really annoyed over her silly repetitions but I guess it's just but appropriate for the character so I have no huge qualms about the writing style. I liked it just enough and I think it's adequately enjoyable for its genre.

Got this for like 99 cents on my Kindle back a few months ago, and now I know why it was so cheap. I really hate books that make adults out to be complete idiots, and that's exactly what this book does. It also glorifies casual sex and drinking between underaged teens, lying to parents and getting away with it, and pretty much every other stereotype expected of youth today. Yeah, teenage girls will probably love this book, but I won't be recommending it to any of them.

On the surface, April is living every teenager's dream. When he's transferred to Cleveland, her father allows April to live with her good friend, Vi and finish out the year at school. She's got a great boyfriend and they're finally ready to take their relationship to the next level. Of course, in reality things are slightly different. April soon finds out that her visions of wild parties, endless freedom and lots of time canoodling with the boyfriend are in sharp contrast to the realities of liv...

Confession: I’ve had this book for YEARS. I’d bought it on a whim and then completely lost interest. Maybe it was the bubblegum cover (so not cute, btw), or the description, or even the title. Who knows? For some reason, I was under the impression that this was going to be a breezy, fluffy read.That it was not.From what I’ve seen thus far, it seems like people are criticizing this book for being “all about sex” and then condemning the message the author purportedly conveyed via the sex plot. (un...

I don’t know what to really say about this one. I liked it, but I really wanted so much more. I think the beginning and the end were great, but the middle needed more “oh I am so going to be dead when my Dad finds out” stuff. I guess it was just more realistic than I thought it would be which is not necessarily a bad thing mind you.The story is about April, a junior in High School who just finds out that her Dad, with whom she lives with, has decided to move with his new wife to another state. U...

I can only describe my feelings about this book in 4 words: I am not impressed.To be fair, Ten things we did (and probably shouldn't have), is a light read, perfect on a lazy week end, while you are sipping a lemonade under the sun. Which didn't happen in my case. I decided to read it at 12 in the midnight because I couldn't sleep. Yep, insomnia's such a bitch. Well, maybe that will explain my less than stellar review of this book. Or maybe this book is just disappointing. I had this book for a...

Reading this book is kind of like watching a couple episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians. Was it entertaining? Yeah. Did I learn anything or feel mentally enhanced after reading it? Definitely not. If time-consuming mindless fluff is what you're going for, then check this out. I wasn't expecting anything deep going into this, so I'm not disappointed, but it still isn't worthy of a super high rating, but it was humorous and feel-good, so I'll meet in the middle at 3 stars.

This was entertaining. It was like a Sarah Dessen novel with more personality. I enjoyed the characters. (view spoiler)[I liked how the main character, April got Chlamydia from her boyfriend. I liked how the author decided to write about an issue you don't see in many YA books. I like when authors aren't afraid to talk about things that happen every day. The issue here being sexually active teens not protecting themselves properly, mainly because they think their significant other is being faith...

Hmm. Not sure about this one.1) The author makes it very clear to us that Noah is a jerk, but not April. And therefore we cringe we she finally sleeps with him because we knoooooooow he did something...2) As soon as she said her pee burned, I was like "AW SNAP HE DUN GAVE HER AN STD"...and he did.3) I like Hudson...but...I feel like...I dunno, I'd be grossed out if I knew that the girl (guy) I liked had chlamydia... :34) And on that note ^ WHY would they get in the Hula with her after they find
