This is Me From Now On by Barbara Dee


Dee, Barbara This is Me From Now On, 259 p. Simon, 2010.  $5.99.  

Evie new neighbor is crazy, funny, compelling and ready to direct Evie’s life.  Evie kind of likes her joie de vive, but Evie’s best friends feel alienated.  Evie really wants a change, so she is willing to put up with Francesca’s antics.  What she doesn’t realize is that change can bring great joy or great sorrow – and it will always leave you different.  

While this is not my favorite of the Mix imprint, it has definitely grown on me – I actually read it twice.  I think it  is a great book for the miidle ages – for those who are still trying to find themselves and those who are trying to find out what being a friend means.
