Things You Either Hate or Love — Brigid Lowry

Fifteen-year-old Georgia is obsessed with the lead singer of Natural Affinity and will do anything it takes to see him live. But there is one major obstacle standing in her way: money. To earn some extra cash, she takes on a string of disastrous jobs. Georgia also struggles with her weight, slipping grades, her lack of a boyfriend, and the distance growing between her and her best friend. Add to all that the tension with her mother, and life really starts to get complicated. True to Brigid Lowrys colorful style of writing, the book is peppered with lists Georgia writes in her diary, like Ten things you can do with a sausage besides eating it and Great email addresses. Georgia is funny, honest, far from perfect, and will win the hearts of readers everywhere.
