  “A fun story that had me chuckling along the way. Nothing too original, but a great read for middle school girls.”

  “I loved this book!
  
  I thought the plot idea was clever. Margaret is struggling with growing up and her neighbor, Sherman, is in love with her. There are a few parts of the plot that are predictable: she doesn't get along with her mom (who does at that age); she takes care of her younger siblings.
  
  I thought this was a great book with a few original plot ideas. Worth reading for those into young adult lit.”

  “The cover's really cute, but the story fell flat for me. Margaret has a stereotypically strained relationship with her mother, a distant relationship with a half-written father character, and resents having twin little sisters to look after all the time. Her neighbor Sherman professes his love to her on page one, and that's supposed to make us all twittery. Unfortunately, I felt that none of the characters rang true, and the premise of most of the plot's tension never really worked. I didn't have much love for this book, but some of the 5th grade girls might like it.”
