Don't get me wrong, I love a good teen romance as much as the next person. This however was, to quote how wonderfully Scott put it, was totally craptastic. It was way too predictable which yes I get it-that's the point of a love story- but you can still add a bit of sass to it.
Whoa. This book was fluff-tastic...so different from her last book, "Living Dead Girl." Author's got quite the range going on. She also seems to specialize in unique scenarios to wrap her Romance's in. "Stealing Heaven," for instance, is about a girl whose mom is a big-time thief. In this one, the mom is a Pamela Anderson type. No really, an almost completely (but hanging on for dear life) washed up former playboy lady... And the trials and travails of being her teen aged daughter. Truly, I felt lame for reading about it. But I give 2 stars cause I finished it, and that counts for something.
Hannah's mom is D-list famous. She was one of Jackson James "special girls" (think Hugh Hefner and the girls next door) and now makes ends meet by doing live webchats while scantily dressed. Needless to say, Hannah is pretty mortified by her parents, and spends most of her time trying not to be noticed. So what will happen when not one, but two guys at work start to notice Hannah?
Cute and kind of predictable, but a fun read overall!

Bueno, este es el tercer libro que leo de Elizabeth y debo decir que como los otros me ha encantado, la historia es muy linda y divertida, me gusta la forma en que siempre terminan sus historias y como puedes aprender algo de ellas.
It was ok. I didn't love her parents - I thought that part of the story was waaay unrealistic. And I thought Scott's books were supposed to be relatable...
It was totally easy to figure out. Nice, quick read. Although the bad lingo in it made me annoyed as it didn't need to be there... And yes, Finn is adorbs. :)

We are all guilty of having embarrassing parents, or at least have our share of embarrassing moments, but Hannah has each and everyone of us topped. Her dad is Jackson James, founder of a playboy-esque website and show. Her mom, well, she is famous for the Superbowl commercial where the only thing covering her was a pizza box. After a lifetime of receiving the wrong type of attention, Hannah finds that she much prefers walking invisibly through life.
The only thing wrong with being invisible though is that the hottest guy Josh, who Hannah believes is her soul mate can’t see her. Then of course there is Finn, the guy in the neighboring cubby at Hannah’s job. He’s funny, cute, and Hannah just can’t seem to stop thinking about him, but then she can’t just forget about Josh either. Now Hannah must decide what she really wants and what she really needs.
Oh Elizabeth Scott how I love you! I really enjoyed SOMETHING, MAYBE and will never ever think that my parents are that embarrassing again. Scott created very real characters that were very relatable. While we all might not have a porn star for a mom, many know what it feels like not to fit in for various reasons. Hannah was also a very witty character who made you want to cheer for her in all of her triumphs and console her in her failures. Finn was absolutely adorable, as in I want him to sit beside me at work. He also added quite a bit of humor to the book, which had me in fits of laughter.
The plot of the book was very original and quite real. With the mom and dad combination and then the grief that Hannah had with the loss of her step dad, the whole thing just made me laugh and sympathize. I truly felt like I was transported into Hannah’s life and didn’t come back to my own until the very last word of her tale.
I absolutely cannot wait for more from Elizabeth Scott, who is definitely a dynamite author in the YA field. I highly recommend this book and urge you all to pick it up and have some laughs.

I decided to read the book after i read the unwritten rule and it did not disappoint. The characters were amazing, the only thing is that it was really short.
I thought this was a cute story. It reminded me of Bloom quite a bit. The main character was frustrating at times when I wish she'd open her eyes and pick the right boy, but it wasn't too bad. I also wish the end wrapped up the story of her best friend more (or AT ALL), but the rest of the story was really cute.
Not as good as Scott's other books. It kinda bugged me that she and Jackson didn't work anything out and that her mom and her didn't get any closer.
