Reseñas de la Crítica

"Dare to steal a glance into Elizabeth's teen years....it feels a little like snooping into someone's personal drawers, but after a while, you'll relish the sneak peeks....Sassy Celia is no sorry sister." (Seventeen)

Voice

It sounded like she was chewing gum while speaking, very annoying. The book also didn’t need to address sex for 15 year olds to read about

Pretty Good

Everything about Feeling Sorry For Celia was pretty good. The way the book was written in notes and letters was creative, but it wasn't needed. The story was interesting, but not page-turning. It was all okay.

loved the letter layout

fun story about real teen life along with insecurities, rejections, and shifting wants. really fun story that I would recommend for YA fans.
