Things You Either Hate or Love by Brigid Lowry

Georgia Amy Reeves is fifteen and fiesty. Desperate to see her favorite band in concert--she needs money. Things You Either Hate or Love is Georgia's story of bakery bread fights, the grocery checkout line, and finding the right boy. On her quest to see Natural Affinity she learns about being herself. The book is filled with lists that Georgia writes--random and sometimes funny, readers learn about Georgia as she discovers what she truly wants and needs.

A fun and entertaining read, Thing You Either Hate or Love was a perfect way to begin summer. Georgia is an excellent character--although there were sometimes when the book dragged.It was an easy read--keep trying if you ever think to put it down--the end iis a fantastic conclusion to the tedious middle section. Georgia is a character that many teenage girls can relate to however it appeared that this book was written for the younger preteen crowd. It was a good read but not an all-time favorite.
