Editorial Review:
Fans of Sarah Dessen’s Just Listen will fall in love with this gorgeously written story of one girl’s search for her family and herself.
Sixteen-year-old Meg Shanley has to start life over again in Los Angeles because her thirtyyear- old sister Lucie can’t get it together. Lucie is always chasing a new man, quitting her job, and packing up their lives. Meg wishes she didn’t have to count on Lucie, but she’s the only family Meg has ever known.
Then a man arrives on their doorstep and reveals a shocking truth: Back in New York Meg has an uncle, a grandmother, and a father who might not even know she exists. Meg sees an opportunity to have the family she’s always dreamed about. She summons all her will, defies Lucie, and travels to New York.
But happiness, she discovers, doesn’t lie in a new family. Instead it rests in the true source of her inner strength; in a secret that has been buried deep inside her heart.
Love, Meg Reviews:
Librarian 
2008-10-03 - This is a beautifully written story that is perfect for young adults. I work in a school where we have lots of students who do not like to read and they all read Love, Meg and thought it was great. The author does an authentic job of capturing the thinking and talking of a teenager. The story is unique and just plain fun. I recommend it to everyone!
Meg is awesome!
2008-10-03 - I love the fact that her pen pal is "Jennifer Aniston"!!!!
So super cool!!!!
I love it when she reads the letters from her!
An Unexpected Hit!
2008-08-22 - I walked into the library looking for a last minute book to read, and came across this book displayed in the young adult section and thought I should give it a go. I am SO happy I did! It was such a good book, and one that I didn't want to put down, wondering what was going to happen next. It did help that there were numerous Jennifer Aniston and "Friends" references, two of my favorite subjects!
Definitely would recommend it!!
You will "Love, Meg" too
2008-08-15 - Being a guy and not really connecting with the cover and the subject matter, I thought I'd get bored with this book half way through it. I was really surprised to see I wanted to know what happened to Meg from chapter to chapter. I didn't want to put the book down.
The writing is wonderful, the story is compelling and the characters are so very real that you will start to wish you knew Meg in person.
Though this book is clearly written for Woman, it has a big heart that anyone can connect with.
Awesome Chic Adventure
2008-03-10 - I loved Love, Meg because it kept taking me places I didn't expect. I didn't even expect to read it. I like adventure books. But my friend sent me the link, I heard the sample, and I bought it. Love, Meg is an adventure book.
First she crawls thru the wild world of Hollywood High. I laughed out loud ten times easy. I had just got what chic books were about when this big bomb goes off. A guy shows up and blows up everything Meg believes in. I wasn't laughing then, I was all into it. Then she starts all over again in another city-jungle, and goes hunting for .......You got to read that for yourself.
It would have been even better if an alien had climbed out of her Uncle's head or something, but when she gets the boyfriend that makes up for that. I was rooting for him under the boardwalk. There is another time when she's in an office talking to this business man when my heart was actually pounding in my chest, just like was happening to Meg. Nothing ever works out like I think in this book, and that includes the ending. I didn't see it coming. I was rooting for her boyfriend again then.
The next time I get a link to a chic book, I'm going to do the exact same thing. I'm going to listen to the sample. The rest.... I don't know.... but I highly recommend THIS book for both laughs, cool chic adventuring, and also I even got seriously into what happened to her and her family(s.) Go figure.
