This is one of the best books I have ever read and I read a lot of books. I think Jaclyn Moriarty is a fabulous sauthor, and just after reading the short biography of her in the book, she inspired me and is now my role model. My school asked me to choose one book to purchase for the library and I wrote down ANY BOOK BY JACLYN MORIARTY. I am really sad that she only has one book out, but I think thyat this one one book is good enough to make up for any number of books she could have written

I'm Molly, age 13 and i ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book. I especially liked how it was written, because i thought it made it stand out from other books with somewhat of a same storyline.
My favorite parts: The notes to and from her mom. They made me laugh out loud and i still sometimes ask my friends to give me something good you can do with purple lipstick!!!

I loved the book I am not big on reading but found that i just couldn't put it down. It is an excellent example of being a teenager with a few strange twists to it

If you think this book rocks, you should read the sequal! They are both fantastic.

I would like to say that I would also like to know, along with lena, the physical appearences of the characters. I also would like to know the exact ages. It was a good book, but I was confused with all the associations:

This book is the best in the world my sister reads it to me every night. I also like finding cassie crazy it is very good to.

i can not agree more with chelcie, coz i read finding cassie crazy first, and just recently read feeling sorry for celia, althogh i did not feel sorry 4 her 1 bit, as i though she was a really bad best friend 2 lizzy, and christina was way more. these two books r my favorite and i cant wait for there to be a sequel to feeling sorry for celia AND finding cassie crazy!

I loved this book sooo much I could not stop reading it, I think it is one of the best books I've ever read along with "Finding Cassie Crazy". I think Jaclyn Moriarty is a FANTASTIC author. I can't wait to read more!
