- Raised without television, I started writing my own middle grade novels after I had read all of the ones in the library. I later discovered YA books, but never did make it to the adult section. When I'm not jotting down poems at stoplights, I can be found hanging out with my "little sister" from Big Brothers Big Sisters or stressing over performance classes at a model horse show.
I have both a Bachelors and Masters of Fine Art in graphic design, and my obsession with typography and layout naturally translates into formatting poetry on the page.
I live in Eagle, Idaho with my husband, two Boston Terriers, and an appaloosa named Mr. Pots.

I am in love with novels in verses ♥
This book was so cute, lyrical and dripping with sweetness, it left me in a puddle of mush..

The main character in this novel is 16 year old Marcie who moves suddenly from Idaho to her mother's family's summerhouse in New Hampshire. This is due to Marcie's mother leaving her father after he admits to having an affair and falling in love with another man.
As readers we get to see Marcie's private thoughts as expressed in her notebook. However, as many teens before her have done, Marcie has written some really bad poetry to express how she feels about her mom, her dad, and leaving her friends and boyfriend Linus behind in Idaho. For Marcie and her friends consider themselves leftovers since they really don't fit in with any one social group at their school. Though Marcie misses her friends she really misses the fact that she no longer has someone that she can kiss, hug, just be with and that causes her to feel badly about thinking about cheating on her boyfriend Linus.
So for me this was just a typical teen angst novel that with a twist due to all of the chapters being written as poetry or in some cases just exact language from IMs or conversations that Marcie has with her friends and family are written.
I think that if Ms. Tregay had told this as a straight forward coming of age story I would have liked it more. Instead I found myself getting annoyed with some of the poems that were included because it just reminded me how completely aggravating and clueless I was at that age when writing my bad poetry. And not to knock the character of Marcie or anything but she at times comes across as extremely selfish and clueless about things which makes her a tough character to side with while reading.… (meer)

A YA LGBTQ romance about coming out, falling in love with your best friend, fighting for what's right, art, and fandom. I enjoyed this a lot--the writing was great, and I thought the aspect of the story involving some of the characters' over-involvement in their friends' lives (including shipping them) was handled well.

Bizarre.
Considering I don't do novels in verse. At least I didn't.
Until this one.
Oddly compelling.
A wonderful read in its own charming way.
