I had never heard of the Lily B. series before, and within the first few pages I began to realize this was probably a very popular book for children. It's obviously geared at young girls, at an age where they are a little bit past reading simple chapter books.
Lily B. is a budding writer, intelligent and quirky. She is her schools advice columnist, and of course meets The Boy of her dreams. Not only has she met the love of her life, but she has just gotten a new job with an real life author...Who turns out to be The Boys mother. Along with her friends Charlotte and Bonnie she immerses herself in her new job, and figuring out how to make The Boy fall in love with her. Along the way, there are upsets and of course he never sees her the way she sees him, but throughout the book, she learns how to be herself and find someone who truly appreciate her for who she really is.
Although this book was very "girly" it was fun, and I would recommend it to girls who are ready to read a chapter book that isn't necessarily for beginners. Girls in grade 5-6 would enjoy this!
