Title: what a pleasant surprise!
Product review: I had read an excerpt of 'Feeling Sorry for Celia' in a magazine and thought it was worth a deeper look. I'm so glad I took the chance to buy my own copy. Jaclyn Moriarty creates some of the most relatable, entertaining, and realistic characters I've seen in young adult literature. While the characters are somewhat eccentric (particularly Celia), I felt like they were more real than so many stereotypical characters I've seen in other novels. Elizabeth sounds like a normal high school student and deals with normal issues, such as her stepfamily, the ending of an old friendship, and the beginning of a new one. I thought that telling the novel through letters was engaging, particularly the use of 'helpful' letters from different 'societies'. What a unique idea! I absolutely loved reading about Elizabeth and her friends; I can't wait to see what Jaclyn Moriarty will do next.
