MY THOUGHTS
I picked up this up after hearing some raving reviews and reading the description! It sounded like a powerful contemporary with a little bit of mystery. This book was what I expected, and more. It had sad parts to it, but this was also a really cute book and I'm glad that I picked it up!
It has been two years since Jessie's mother died. Her father has married a women he met online and they moved LA to live with her family. Not only does her new stepbrother make her feel unwelcome in her new home, but she's friendless in her new school. That is, until she receives an email from Somebody Nobody (SN for short). SN become Jessie's friend, and tells her the ins and outs of her school. They begin to have many online conversations with one another, but Jessie doesn't know who SN is.
I read this book while on a road trip. Here's the thing about me: I have a hard time reading in cars. I don't know why, but I just feel too distracted to read and ,sometimes, I even get carsick. For some reason, that was not the case for this book. Once I started it, I read on until the last page. I couldn't help but get sucked into Jessie's story and the mystery surrounding SN.
As far as SN, I loved their relationship. Sure, it sounds a bit sketch that Jessie in a relationship with someone online, but in this book it actually works. They have such a fabulous online friendship. They're so snarky and witty with each other! There were so many times where their conversations made me smile. Though many of their conversations were fun, they also have more serious, heartfelt conversations.
The only thing that bothered me as how long it took for Jessie to figure out who SN was. I knew quite early on who SN was, it wasn't hard to figure it out, but it took until the very end of the book for her to figure it out. So I spent a large portion of the book yelling at Jessie while she kept making mistakes on who was SN. Though her mistakes did lead to some interesting circumstances. I can't really fault her for taking so long, it's hard to see what's right in front of you.
IN CONCLUSION
Overall, I enjoyed this book! It was realistic, both heartfelt and fun! I loved the relationships and, even though it took awhile, I loved the mystery! This is a great contemporary read and I do recommend it!

This was a cute and quick YA contemporary romance read. It was cleverly put together, if a bit predictable. I ended up enjoying it. It was hard to put down and addicting.
Jessie has had a really rough time, her mother is dead and her father moved them from Chicago to LA. She just doesn't fit in and things are completely awful; that is until she gets an email from SN who helps her navigate the terrain of her new school. He gives her advice on who would make good friends and who to avoid.
Meanwhile in school Jessie is paired with a moody boy named Ethan for an English project. She really likes him but can't figure him out. To make matters even weirder one of Ethan's friends from the band they are in decides that Jessie is a âbreath of fresh airâ and wants to ask her out. Jessie is trying to solve the mystery of who SN is and match SN to one of these boys at her school.
I thought the mystery was pretty predictable. However, this was still a quick and fun read. I liked the âtell me three thingsâ where Jessie and SN got to know each other by telling each other three true things about themselves.
Overall this is a cute and fast-paced contemporary fiction set in a high school setting. The main driver behind the story is the mystery around who SN is. The story was a bit predictable, but it is well written and a quick, fun read.
