"The Book of Luke" - Jenny O'Connell

By: Keely Aldridge

This is a great book, i heard a lot of good things about this book, so i decided to try it out. and i am really glad that i did. This book is funny, but really cute at the same time. i like this book because in someways it is easy to relate to.
This book is about, a girl, a boy, and a notebook that could ruin everything. Emily Abbott is through being the nice girl, and following all the rules. But all the people that she thought she could count on, are being totally unreliable. Her boyfriend breaks up with her on the morning that she moves back to Boston. And her father who was moving the family across country, has decided to stay behind and tie up some lose ends. So when her and her friends decided to create a guide, to tell boys how to treat girls right, Emily decides that it is the perfect chance to drop the "good girl" role. After all who would ever suspect the girl voted most likely to be nice, could be so mean? Emily has to prove that she can change Luke Preston, the guy who broke her best friends heart, and is the example of everything that she despises about males. But when Emily starts to fall for the test subject, things become a little more complicated than Emily had planned. Should she tell her friends the about her feelings for Luke and lose both of her best friends? Or should she tell Luke that at first they were just using him and lose a great guy?
If i could ask Jenny O'Connell 3 questions about the book, i would probably ask her what made her think of the topic for this book, if any parts of the book were from personal experiences, or would she ever do anything that happened in the book to Emily? i guess i would ask these questions because usually authors can somehow relate to there books, and i would like to know if that was the case for her.
