About the author
Winifred Morris
13 books28 followersI've built and remodeled houses and helped plant more than a million trees. I'm also the author of several award-winning children's books published the more traditional way, five picture books and four novels for the young - and young at heart.
But as publishing has changed, I've changed too. I've started writing for adults and let myself get a little wackier. Of Mice and Money is a comic women's book, which I'm told is a contradiction in terms. How come? Bombed is comic romantic suspense. And I'll soon be releasing The Sometime Burglar, a comic romantic novella.
I've also published Living in Suspension, which is a return to my YA roots. It’s not as funny, and I love humor, but it means a lot to me. It’s the story of a struggling teenager, more like Liar which was an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant YA Readers.

This was probably the first book I ever read, and enjoyed, without pictures 😂😂😂😂😂
I read it over and over and over as a 9 year old, I reread it once as a teenager for nostalgia, but have not read it since (time to get my hands on a copy and reread it again!) because I could never find it. (pretty sure the one I read was titled "the problem with love" lol bit of a heavy title for a kids book 😂).
super fun, super silly, highly recommend for all humans 😂😂😂😂😁 (my child memories has the book as super serious and dramatic, but my teenage memories tell me it's funny and silly *shrug*)

I don't usually like romance books, but I do think this was interesting. If your really smart and care only about school, can you still like to dress up and go on dates? Obviously the answer is yes but I think Stephs journey is am interesting one.
Plus I really liked her mom's speech at the end
