Before I say anything, let me say that I normally don't read hat many contemporary, realistic fiction books. Those of you who have visited this blog before know that I am a fan of fantasy and paranormal books. Books where things happen that you can only dream of. Not books that you can dream but have a little chance of happening, like becoming prom queen and having a happy ever after with your king.

Miss Fortune Cookie is about a girl, Erin, with a blog. That was what initially drew me to the book. Here was this book about a teenage girl with a blog. Here I am, a teenage girl with a blog...Erin leads a comfortable life. People like her and she runs a popular blog giving out advice to people. Everything is going great for Erin until her ex-BFF sends her a letter through her blog asking for advice. Erin gives her advice and her unsuspecting old friend follows it, creating some troublesome...well creating some troublesome trouble. The story is about Erin's journey to fix it.

Overall I enjoyed reading this book. I really liked Erin and I found that it was extremely easy for me to somewhat relate to her. Her identity of Miss Fortune Cookie made it fun and interesting to read. I spent quite some time wondering how she would react if someone found out who she really is. She's really loyal to her family and friends, which I thought made her a likable character. Lauren Bjorkman did a fantastic job making Erin seem like a real person, rather than just a character in a book. Miss Fortune Cookie was a quick easy read, perfect for my busy schedule, but I didn't want it to end. I hope Lauren Bjorkman will write a sequel so I'll be able to see what happens to Erin and her friends after they graduate high school and start college. I really enjoyed reading MISS FORTUNE COOKIE and I hope you will too!
