review 1: It's hard to be a teenager, even for Penny who thinks she has life worked out. I found I smiled a lot whilst reading Love-shy; it was not laugh out loud funny but sometimes teenagers think and do dumb/funny/quirky things and Lili captured this. Of course I wanted to frown and shake my head at Penny quite a few times during the book, she is just so bossy and of course always right, but by the end I would have been patting her on the back.
review 2: I feel so awful giving Lili Wilkinson three stars. I love her writing and have loved all her novels (Pocketful Of Eyes in particular) but this story lacked the sassy main character. She was just so annoying that by the end I was glad everything had fallen in on her head - she deserved it - which was the morale of the ... morestory (of course) but I found it just so hard to really get into it and enjoy like the others. I also felt it lacked previous comedian one liners that make Ms Wilkinson's books such a easy and devourable read. Still a good read though! less
