Please be patient with the fewer and far-between posts....we have a new 'half' born in April and things are slow as we adjust and try desperately for more sleep. (It's a girl!)

The Oracle of Dating, by Allison Van Diepen

The Oracle of Dating, by Allison Van Diepen
Young Adult, 2010

from the publisher:
For five bucks, the Oracle of Dating will tell you:
* How to flirt
* If that cute guy you're crushing on likes you, too
* Whether your new romance will last through lunch period
* And much more
What she won't tell you? Who she is.

I think this was such a fabulous idea....I mean, I read the flap and thought 'hey, I want that job'. And her articles she writes for her blog are right on key - and sometimes hilarious to boot. While that part of the plot kept me going, the rest seemed to fall a little flat. In the end I enjoyed it, but not enough to pick it up and read it again. However, I am now officially a convert of the oracle of dating blog....
Graded a C+.
