Lillian- Literally

Title: Literally

Author: Lucy Keating

Publisher: HarperTeen

Annabelle’s life has seemed so normal to her. She’s a neat freak, her mom is a realtor, and her brother has a band. However when bestselling author Lucy Keating announces that she’s writing a new book- about Annabelle’s life- Annabelle starts to notice things she never did before. Her brother’s best friend Elliot, the perfect new kid at school, her childhood home, her parents divorcing. Are they all just plot twists imagined by some author? Annabell doesn’t want her life to already be written out. She wants to write her own story.

This book was extremely intriguing. I’ve never seen an author write themselves into their own book, or describe their writing struggles through a main character. It was so creative, and a new idea that really made the book amazing.

I loved it and would recommend it for anyone 12 or looking for a good short and sweet read.
