Prom Anonymous

by Blake Nelson (262 pg)

In the spirit of the upcoming school dance, I found a book about a school dance. Perhaps it's slightly more formal and obsessed-about than our dear little Sadies, but, you know, close enough. In fact, I actually felt like I could connect with the main character, Chloe, really well. There isn't really anyone she likes, and she's not totally into the whole prom scene anyways. Her two best friends from middle school are trying to find someone to set her up with, and she's going along with it, even though she doesn't really connect with them as well anymore (in fact, they have absolutely nothing in common) and is kind of freaking out about the whole blind date thing. In my case, the guy I was going to ask already has a date (grr...) and my friends are trying to think of someone for me to go with. Unfortunately, we don't really hang out with the same people anymore, so I don't even know half the people they're suggesting. Y'know, I just think it would be kind of weird to ask someone from my driver's ed class this summer who I haven't talked to all year. Although he was pretty hilarious. On the other hand, Chloe ends up having an awesome night and getting a boyfriend in the process (aww!!), so hopefully my dance will have the same results.

Note: This isn't the novel I'm doing my report on. I'm going to pick one that actually has some depth to it :D
