The Manifesto On How To Be Interesting by Holly Bourne

Title: The Manifesto On How To Be Interesting
Author: Holly Bourne
Publisher: Usborne
Pages: 447

Bree hates her life. She hates her never there parents, she hates her writing rejections, and she hates herself. So when her English teacher tells her that she needs to have a more interesting life, The Manifesto on How To Be Interesting is born. 
But will giving herself a makeover and befriending cool people make it better? How far is Bree willing to go to be interesting?

I have read SO many good books lately...this one included. I fact, this is one of the best books I have ever read. Can I introduce you to my new favourite book?

Look! Even my cat liked it!
Holly Bourne has written this book, in a way that so many of us can relate to. I know that I for one have wondered what would happen if I gave myself a makeover, became friends with popular people? Bree, the main character in the book, does that, and reading it is just such an amazing emotional experience.

It was so amazingly written, and had such an incredible plot, that it's managed to sneak up to my top 3 stand alone books. Because Holly has worked with kids with mental health issues online, she understands what it's like, and that makes her writing very realistic.

This is my new go-to book recommendation for anyone aged 13 up. It does have some more mature themes in it, so it's definitely not for younger kids.
