Within the past 2 weeks, our particular bookstore has sold 5 copies of The Notebook Girls and one possible stolen copy. Priced at $23 for a teen paperback, it’s a wonder why soo many have sold. It has also been prominently displayed in the teen area, and although I haven’t had any specific requests for this title, its sales show promise to become a very popular book.
Compare this to “Please Kill the Freshman” which covered similar ground, but in a less “everygirl” writing style. Or to the amount of drinking and sex in the Gossip Girls. - Jamie Watson, YALSA-BK comment
