The Bookworm says... Yes. My Best Everything by Sarah Tomp was great! Lulu has to get out of Dale. She can't be confined to small town life for entirety. She's marking down the days until she gets to escape to the sunny campus of the University of San Diego. Every day gets an "X" on the calendar... Until the day she finds out her tuition money is gone. Lulu needs to find a way to make her money, and fast. A 400$ deposit is due soon, or Lulu is stuck in Dale forever. Everyone else seems to get what Lulu wants, and she's stuck settling for her small town Virginia life when she meets Mason. Mason tried to give Lulu a way out, but he also gives her a reason to stay.
This book was really good! If I'm being honest, I wouldn't have picked it up by myself. Generally I prefer contemporary books, and the plot description just wasn't doing it for me. However, my mom bought me this, and once I started it, I was hooked. Just the right amount of sweet and sour (and a little bit of cornmeal and yeast) sprinkled through the novel, I laughed and cried. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a nice, light read!
