Dee, Barbara This is Me From Now On, 259 p. Simon, 2010. $5.99.
Evie new neighbor is crazy, funny, compelling and ready to direct Evie’s life. Evie kind of likes her joie de vive, but Evie’s best friends feel alienated. Evie really wants a change, so she is willing to put up with Francesca’s antics. What she doesn’t realize is that change can bring great joy or great sorrow – and it will always leave you different.
While this is not my favorite of the Mix imprint, it has definitely grown on me – I actually read it twice. I think it is a great book for the miidle ages – for those who are still trying to find themselves and those who are trying to find out what being a friend means.
