Received in the mail from Hillsborough, New Jersey, USA, through FrugalReader. I loved the sequel, They Wear What Under Their Kilts?. Read more at KatieMaxwell.com.

From Booklist
Grades 10-12
Transplanted from Seattle to an English hamlet called Piddlington-on-the-Weld, 16-year-old Emily Williams braces herself for a year abroad. Life in a country "that still has discos!" really "irks her pickle." No makeup is allowed at school, and the uniforms are "gacky"; at home, a poltergeist haunts her panty drawer, and her parents are generally appalling. Emily vents her frustrations in wickedly funny e-mails to her best friend, spiced with British slang and her own idiosyncratic coinages. Sex is a major theme here (the cartoonish cover belies content that is solidly YA), but despite Emily's air of worldliness, her essential naivete becomes obvious when she falls in with a more experienced crew—for whom drinking and sex are apparently common leisure activities. The plot is utterly formulaic: girl has sleazebag love interest and then boots him for not respecting her personal boundaries. But like her spiritual cousins Georgia and Bridget, appealingly anguished Emily will have girls wanting to embrace her as their uber-coolio new best friend. Three more visits with Emily are in the works.

Not nearly as good as They Wear What Under Their Kilts?. I love all the books in Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicholson series, but one Emily Williams book was enough for me.

Please write a journal entry letting all its past and future readers know that this book was found. (It's anonymous, and you don't have to join Bookcrossing to do it.) Then read and keep this book, give it to a friend, or even release it for someone else to find--just like you did. Happy reading!

Still there when I went to release The Best Awful and The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide, so I'm going to try releasing somewhere else.

Mailed to faeriemyst in Marietta, Ohio, USA, for the Time is on my side relay.

Received today, thanks for sending the book! :)

By the way, great idea if the book gets lost in the mail!

This was a mindless read, exactly what I needed to end my first week back to school with a mountainful of homework to get to before Monday. Emily could at times get on my nerves, but at others she could be very funny (or rather Ms. Maxwell). For being so smart, I thought she was an idiot to want to date Aidan, who was so swarmy and icky to read about. And who uses the term coolio? The last time I heard that was about 10 years ago. That got to be a bit much. I really thought Fang was too good for her, but then again, maybe that's exactly what she needs. Of course we probably won't know anything for a while judging by the synopsis of the next book. All in all, a decent if albeit predictible teen read. Not too sure if I want to read anymore in the series or not.

Five-minute-later note:
1. I think I meant smarmy, I'm not sure.
2. Forgive me if my journal entry is hard to follow. I'm very tired and can barely put a sentence together. :P
