This novel was just outright hilarious! The tone of the narrator and buildup of the characterization of, well, the characters is awesome. This was really amusing book to read, with it's typical-yet-lol-able swing.

So basically, it's about a girl name Poe Holly who gets sent off to live with her dad (aka counselor at her new HS) in the suburbs because her wealthy doctor mother is too busy saving other people's lives in South America to look after her rebellious daughter. She finds some friends, and ends up encountering a bully who totally sets her off because of his stupid pranks. She decides to step it up and, well you gotta read it to find out! Along the way, she realizes that her rebellious streak in which she vividly expresses through her fights and shouts with her mother is what makes her her.She misses her LA-city-lifestyle and all, but she learns a lot staying with her father too.

This book was well-written, and sure kept me reading!
