Perfect for fans of Jennifer E. Smith and Huntley Fitzpatrick, Don't Call Me Baby is a sharply observed and charming story about mothers and daughters, best friends and first crushes, and our online selves and the truth you can only see in real life. All her life, Imogene has been known as the girl on that blog. Imogene's mother has been writing an incredibly embarrassing, and incredibly popular, blog about her since before she was born. The thing is, Imogene is fifteen now, and her mother is still blogging about her. In gruesome detail. When a mandatory school project compels Imogene to start her own blog, Imogene is reluctant to expose even more of her life online ...until she realizes that the project is the opportunity she's been waiting for to define herself for the first time.
A cute story that didn't take too long to read. It was one of those eye-opening books that struck a little close to home since this is about a girl who has been the object of her mother's Mommy blog since before she was even born. It's about her life and her need for privacy and trying to make her Mom see that. It's about a girl striving to get her life back from a parent who writes a blog for a living. I thought it was an interesting read but dragged a bit in the middle. Still, solid read.
