Something, Maybe by Elizabeth Scott

Title: Something, Maybe 
Author: Elizabeth Scott
Publisher: Simon Pulse 
Pages: 217


GoodReads Summary: 

Everyone thinks their parents are embarrassing, but Hannah knows she's got them all beat.

Her dad made a fortune showcasing photos of pretty girls and his party lifestyle all over the Internet, and her mom was once one of her dad's 'girlfriends' and is now the star of her own website.

After getting the wrong kind of attention for way too long, Hannah has mastered the art of staying under the radar . . . and that's just how she likes it. Of course, that doesn't help her get noticed by her crush. Hannah's sure that gorgeous, sensitive Josh is her soul mate. But trying to get him to notice her; wondering why she suddenly can't stop thinking about another guy, Finn; and dealing with her parents make Hannah feel like she's going crazy. Yet she's determined to make things work out the way she wants only what she wants may not be what she needs. . . .
Once again, Elizabeth Scott has created a world so painfully funny and a cast of characters so heartbreakingly real that you'll love being a part of it from unexpected start to triumphant finish.

My Review: This is the first book I've read by Elizabeth Scott and I have to say, I was pretty excited. When I go to my library I look for a book that catches my eye. Cover first, description second. First of all in my opinion cover gets a 5/5 stars. I could tell it was my kind of book right away. OK, first of all, this book was kind of the basic romantic novel. You know what's going to happen but a good author just like Scott doesn't let on. You start to feel embarrassed when Hannah is embarrassed. You drool in awe at Josh. And you roll your eyes with Hannah at Finn. A good book is when the author can make you feel the emotions that the character is feeling, fall in love with them, cry with them. It was a GREAT book. You feel Hannah, and when you feel Hannah. You feel the book.

All in all I rate this book a 4/5 stars
Cover: 5/5
