3.5 stars. This was one of the weirdest and pulp-y-est books I've ever read. Think Hocus Pocus meets Jennifer's Body with Faustian Bargains. It has Maureen Johnson's signature wit, which at times, had me laughing out loud and reciting passages to others. Though not my favorite of hers, it solidified her as my favorite author.

I liked this but didn't love it. A good concept but for some reason I couldn't get that into it. I've heard a lot of good things about her, though, so I'm going to try another one of her books.

I liked this book a lot. I give it an overall 3.5 stars. I felt that some of it seemed rushed and quick, particularly the ending.

I liked the twist with the kiss at the end, and I liked the friendship bit, but I felt some things were left unexplained. I love Maureen Johnson, but this was definitely not my favorite of her books.

This book was not what i was expecting at all. Some parts of this book had me cringing, and others laughing. This book never had a dull moment, and can come off as slightly creepy, almost Devilish. (See what i did there?{yes i know that was a terrible pun})

I loved the short read. It was calm, and had a good plot. There was a lot of spelling and grammar errors, though. I didn't really understand the ending. I had to reread it a couple times to fully understand it's meaning. Overall, I give it a four because it's something most people would enjoy.

It definitely wasn't what I thought it was going to be and at times it was too much for me to suspend disbelief, but it was still a fun read. Kind of strange though.

I liked Suite Scarlett and Girl at Sea by Maureen Johnson slightly more than this one. But I did still enjoy it. The main character's first person voice was fun to read. I wish there was a sequel to get more of her story.
