Notes to Self
Notes to Self
"I usually don't read many books in the Young Adult category, but I am glad I read this one - I seriously think this could / should zoom up the charts and be a huge bestseller and I could also see this one being made into a smash summer movie." ~Michael Gallagher "I started and finished this book in about 2 days- something I only do when a book grabs me and refuses to let me go." ~Amazon reviewer "Notes to Self is an emotional journey that any woman, teenager or otherwise, can relate to. It made me think about my own formative years and that connected me to the narrator on a deep level. I recommend Notes to Self to readers who appreciate honest contemporary fiction." ~Amazon reviewer "I recommend NOTES TO SELF very highly.
