Laugh out loud funny is all I need to say, but because this is a review, I have to say more.

This book reminded me of my own high school diary, which after reading 40 years later, I thought, "What on earth possessed me"? Her letters were not only reminiscent but hilariously humiliating, in a good way. She was definitely possessed, as are all young girls at that age.

Any woman who reads Rubin's book will be taken on a nostalgic trip down boy crazy lane. I think many of her readers have also done the same thing and that is what makes this book so enjoyable. It's relatable.

Her audio narrative is quite compelling as she describes herself in terms of awe and acceptance all in one sentence. She does an excellent job of pulling you in. In fact, when she gets serious, which you aren't expecting, it takes you by surprise.

Thank goodness she used aliases as her old love interests might cringe at the thought of being the recipient of such intensity.

I'd give it a thumbs up for originality.
