My Review
Would you believe me if I told you I’ve never read Bridget’s Jones’s Diary – I’ve only watched them. Would you believe me when I say I don’t really read diaries in fiction much – that aside I feel Chloe Snow has certainly changed my tune on this – I LOVED IT!
Chloe Snow’s story was told through an entry in her diary every day – it all begins just before freshman year of high school, Chloe Snow has high hopes, new year new school, she has expectations to live up too one of which to have her first kiss, – I mean every one else has and already on second base so she feels she needs to have it by New Year’s Eve. Along the way she meets the heartfelt Tristan, her best friend and not so nice people as well. Her freshman year takes her on a journey of self discovery, facing new challenges and also exceeding her own expectations but at the end of the day it’s being herself that trumps all.
Chloe Snow reminds me a bit of me – I think we all have those thoughts about boys, friendships, school life at that age. Chloe isn’t a stranger to making bad decisions, and she messes up a lot which you will get annoyed at, but its her quirks and redeeming qualities that make her who she is. What I loved was that aside from the funny, the cringe and the constant smile you display on your face when your reading it is that it focused lightly on the serious of your teenage years too. I learned something too: Did you know you should say Rabbit Rabbit at the beginning of the month, for good luck all month and it derived from Britain? Nope I didn’t.
This is the perfect book if you loved Waiting for Callback series by Perdita and Honor Cargill and also Flirty Dancing series by Jenny McLanan. I hope we see Chloe Snow a lot more – I’d love to go through her sophomore and senior years and see what other trouble and cringe worthy moments she gets up too. My #DailyConfession is this book is ingeniously funny and every teen girl should read it!
