Bjorkman, Lauren Miss Fortune Cookie pg. 279 Henry Holt and
Company, 2012 Language: (6 swears, 0 “f”); Mature Content-PG-13; Violence: PG;
Meet 3 long time best friends…. Erin…narrator of the story,
incredibly smart, Senior at Lowell High, witty, only child of a whimsical
single mom. She secretly write a blog called Miss Fortune Cookie.
It’s an advice column. Meet Mei…a Korean head strong equally smart girl whose
mother dominates her. She secretly has a boyfriend because her mother
wouldn’t approve. She gets accepted to Harvard and Stanford and wants to
go to Stanford to be near her man Darren. Meet Linny-an eccentric teen who
organizes a protest. She beats to her own drum and definitely isn’t
“mainstream.”
The story basically takes these 3 girls through their senior
year of high school and the challenges that face them. Which school do I
attend? Do I do what everyone is telling me to do or do I do what my
heart tells me? I enjoyed the story overall. The book was drug for
me in the middle. The sexual references are what makes it PG-13.
It’s such a sweet story, I’m sad they added that element. I love her comments
to her readers when she turns into Miss Fortune Cookie. They are witty
and adorable. It really seemed to capture all the emotions high school seniors
go through.
