About the author
Caroline B. Cooney
129 books1,775 followersCaroline Cooney knew in sixth grade that she wanted to be a writer when "the best teacher I ever had in my life" made writing her main focus. "He used to rip off covers from The New Yorker and pass them around and make us write a short story on whichever cover we got. I started writing then and never stopped!"
When her children were young, Caroline started writing books for young people -- with remarkable results. She began to sell stories to Seventeen magazine and soon after began writing books. Suspense novels are her favorites to read and write. "In a suspense novel, you can count on action."
To keep her stories realistic, Caroline visits many schools outside of her area, learning more about teenagers all the time. She often organizes what she calls a "plotting game," in which students work together to create plots for stories. Caroline lives in Westbrook, Connecticut and when she's not writing she volunteers at a hospital, plays piano for the school musicals and daydreams!

A fun one. The two major scenes that kick things off: your bratty sister’s wedding with a v important senator vs. a play a cute boy invites you to.
Some of the options are chaotic (awk threesome date, anyone?), some of the endings are bleak (totally my fault, I’ll admit I made some Bad Decisions), but every scenario is max entertaining and outlandish, which is all I want from these books.
One thing I appreciate about Cooney is her ability to switch between romance and thriller-y action scenes so effortlessly, and with a dash of some humor for good measure (It gets dramatic during the canoe date scenario). I noticed this in Suntanned Days (from the same series) too.
Don’t make the same mistakes I did.
Or do, and start over again and again. Like I did.
