Product Description Friends call Becca the Overshare Queen, but her tendency for TMI never seemed like a problem to her until she blabs about her sweet band-geek boyfriends sloppy kisses and gets dumped! Realizing it may be better to resist the temptation to overshare face-to-face, Becca decides to blog anonymously about everything instead. On her blog, Too Much Information, Becca unleashes her alter ego, Bella. Bella tells it like it is . . . though perhaps with a bit more drama. After all, no ones going to read it, right??? From Booklist Sophomore Becca just can’t help sharing whatever is on her mind with whoever happens to be around. Her tendency to offer “TMI” (too much information) has resulted in her having only two friends: her cute-but-geeky freshman boyfriend and kind, shy Katie. When a new boy moves to their tiny Minnesota town, Becca and Katie discover a kindred spirit in the fashion-conscious Jai, who likes musical theater and baking. After Becca inadvertently and publicly humiliates her boyfriend, she decides to turn over a new leaf and confine her thoughts and fantasies to a blog, which she blithely assumes will be secret. Of course this plan fails big time, and Becca finds she has not only managed to alienate the entire school, she has inadvertently outed Jai. Quigley has created a charming and wholly believable narrator in the hapless but well-meaning Becca, as well as a host of interesting secondary characters, including sympathetic parents. Realistic details of teen social life in a small Midwestern town round out this slight but very entertaining offering. Grades 7-10. --Debbie Carton About the Author Sarah Quigley is an anonymous blogger who lives in San Francisco, California. This is her first novel.
