TMI by Sarah Quigley

[description from Amazon]

Friends call Becca the Overshare Queen, but her tendency for TMI never seemed like a problem to her until she blabs about her sweet band-geek boyfriend’s sloppy kisses—and gets dumped! Realizing it may be better to resist the temptation to overshare face-to-face, Becca decides to blog anonymously about everything instead. On her blog, Too Much Information, Becca unleashes her alter ego, Bella. Bella tells it like it is . . . though perhaps with a bit more drama. After all, no one’s going to read it, right???

Review:

I knew I was going to like this book after reading just the first chapter. Why is that? you may be asking yourself. Well, that's because they were discussing musicals, and there is a whole musical production of Grease in the book. Fun fact: I like musicals. A lot. Another fun fact: any book with musicals is at least going to be ok in my world. (Thankfully this one was more than ok; it was great.)

This book started out great, and only got better. The musical thing started early on, which automatically made me *love* the book, so I didn't think I could like it any more after that. But I was WRONG. Becca's adventures are funny by themselves, but she is delightfully witty and her oversharing and exaggerations only make things funnier. Her friends, the quiet-but-doesn't-always-like-it Katie, and Jai, the awesome emoish (actually, he's kind of like Adam Lambert. AHH.) new boy, are also delightfully funny. At first her friends feel a little one-dimensional, but as Becca learns to look at them in new ways, their fabulous personalities shine through.

Another thing I liked about the book is all the interspersed blog entries. Obviously I also enjoy blogging, and I especially enjoyed these blogs. They were super funny, and they helped give even more insight onto what Becca felt about all the wacky, amusing things going on in her life.

Though it got a little bit preachy about the dangers of blogging, TMI is still an excellent, realistic read. Recommended especially if you live in Minnesota. (It's set in Minnesota! And references Minnesota! I am greatly amused by that.)

TMI will be released on the 16th- this thursday!- so make sure you pick up a copy so you can experience the fabulousness for yourself.

8.5/10
