Giveaway winner review: Thank you Goodreads and Laurel-Ann Dooley for the free copy of Best Friend Thief. I received this book yesterday at lunch and immediately started reading it. Then, in every free moment afterward, I kept reading it until I finished it last night. I truly enjoyed this book. Dooley knows her audience! And eventhough this book was aimed toward the pre-teen female population, I was easily pulled in to the world of friendship between Nathalie, Reagan, Catherine, and Isabel and reminded of my younger days in middle school with the friends I had. This book was well-written. It was not preach-y and did not talk down to the reader; I can’t wait to pass it on to younger readers. Looking forward to reading more from Ms. Dooley. On a side note, thank you for the handwritten message. I will keep it with the book so that other readers may also enjoy it.
