I just could not get through this book.

The first book following Rebecca Bloomwood. I will admit this is my least favorite adventure of Becky's. I first read the book in early 2009 and I couldn't put it down and then immediately went out and bought the other 4 books that were out at the time.

Becky Bloomwood is one of my favorite characters! She is always getting herself into some sort of trouble and comes up with the most entertaining and ridiculous way to get herself out of it. I am currently rereading the book aloud to a co-worker on our 15 min breaks at work and it is making me laugh all over again and as I said, I love the other books about Becky more than this one.

In the most recent chapter I had read she went to get the job at the bank claiming she could speak Finnish and the bank was Finnish! Oh so funny! And then she received a letter from a bank, congratulating her on finding Jesus as her Lord and Savior, and that she has been forgiven, but she still must pay her minimum balance!

So clever!

I disagree with the cover. Hard pass.

Ha, this book is a major guilty pleasure!
It’s not a very well written book, but it’s so silly and unrealistic with the most stupid characters that I honestly read this book about once or twice a year just to be entertained.
You can count on Rebecca to be caught up in a lie ever chapter and it’s honestly really funny at times. One thing I think the author did really well with is the bank letters that pop up on between chapter, this was a smart and funny thing to do that made the book seem more realistic.

In the end, this book is not great, but it’s still great to read if your looking for a silly book.
