This little book tugged at my heartstrings from the get-go.I'm going to keep it around for when my girls get a bit older and need some reading to do.I think everyone should read this book... it's a definite must-read.I can't get any plainer than that.:)

Good book
This book was incredibly sad, but very good. I liked how the narration changed rom character to character. The best part: This book totally made me think it was really Christmas. The details are fantastic!!!!

A Wonderful Book!!!!!!
This is a very sweet christmas story, but wonderful for any time of year (i read it in april). i took it with me on a long car ride, and ended up reading it three times. this is a very good book for all ages, especially around the holidays

Favorite Christmas book ever!
This is a great book for Christmas time. It really gets you thinking about your life, and what a family means. I like how it didn't really have chapters. Each "segment" was introduced by a line in a Christmas carol and really pertained to the action of the story. I loved the ending too- I would have never guessed people could come together like that. This was my favorite Christmas book 4 years ago, and it's still my favorite today.

Wonderful Book for Christmas!
This is an amazing book; with a great lesson to it.I love to read this book at Christmas time to my younger sisters.It has such a powerful message.You should buy several to pass out this year at Christmas.Believe me you won't regret it. ... Read more

Very cute!
Though it was hard to really get into, this was a really cute book. The characters were all diverse and enjoyable, the plots and issues flowed together really well, and the humor will have you giggling on every page.

I like how nothing ended up how it started. Towards the beginning, there was a lot of foreshadowing when it came to the relationship of certain characters, but it switches up and for that, I was very thankful. There isn't too much to the plot, so you end up depending on the characters for substance, which is fortunately given.

The game is hard to imagine, hard to picture in your head. Luckily for me, the copy I got from the library had the actual game attached the back. It's an awesome visual and helps you appreciate the story a lot more, so try to get a hold of that if you plan on reading!

Overall, it was very adorable. Well written and humorous, this book will have you planning your very own party- complete with snacks and the romance game. If I could've taken the game out of the book, I probably would've gathered some friends and played myself. I definitely recommend checking it out!

New Version
Has been updated from original. Why'd they cut the part with Faith throwing nail polish at Kelly??!!

PERIOD 7 MRS. SULLIVAN
Have you ever wished you could have the perfect date? Well in the book "The Girl Who Invented Romance" by Caroline Cooney thats what the main character wished. This books genre is fiction. In the story the main character Kelly Williams, wished for just that, the perfect date and the most perfect boyfriend. Kelly is a sixteen year old girl who has never had a boyfriend let alone a date.Kelly is very outspoken and dramatic. In the book Kelly invents a game called "Romance". In the game you can go on the perfect date and be set up with your perfect match. But when match is someone Kelly least expected him to be she becomes very confused and has trouble finding out what romance really means. I would recomend this book because Kelly goes through alot thihgs normal girls do and its a very interesting book.

Product Description
This day has been absolutely perfect for 16-year-old Sophie Olivette. She got an A+ on her first speech ever, whipped the history exam, and played awesome field hockey. She can hardly wait to tell Dad. But after school, he has an announcement of his own: he has found a new true love and is divorcing Mother. Suddenly Sophie feels like she is the only grown-up in the house. Dad's girlfriend is a younger woman-in fact, she is Sophie's older sister's roommate at college. And Mother is too busy seeking her "Inner Self" to work on her failing marriage. Sophie's life becomes an endless soap opera with one heartbreaking episode after another, and she can't change channels. Award-winning author Caroline B. Cooney captivates young adults with her absorbing novels including The Face on the Milk Carton (RB# 95337) and Whatever Happened to Janie? (RB# 95429). Narrator Christina Moore underscores Sophie's outrage and hope as she struggles to rewrite her family's story to end "happily ever after." ... Read more
