The Revised Life of Ellie Sweet





The Revised Life of Ellie Sweet
By Stephanie Morrill

About the book:
Ellie Sweet is a lot of things—good girl, novelist, silent adorer of the new boy at school, Palmer. But when “outcast” gets added to the list, she decides it’s time to take reality into her own hands … and tweak it as needed.

In the pages of her book, she’s Lady Gabrielle, favorite of the medieval Italian court. Her once-friends are reduced to catty ladies-in-waiting, and the too-charming Palmer—who in real life never spares her a second word—gets to be nothing more than a rake wracked by unrequited love for her. She even has a perfect real-life villain in the brooding Chase, who hails from the wrong side of town.

But just when she’s getting along great in her fictional world, the real one throws her a few curves. With Chase pursuing her, Palmer wanting to date her—but in secret—and the details of her manuscript going public, Ellie suddenly receives more attention than she ever really wanted. And when her former-friends discover what she’s been writing, they’re determined to teach Ellie a lesson about the severe consequences of using her pen as her sword.

My thoughts:
The Revised Life of Ellie Sweet was an awesome read. I was never sure who I was rooting for.

Ellie was a great character, She's a teen writer letting out her angst in a book that takes her on a journey she never planned. Even when she was awkward and wanted to he invisible she had a great wit about her with a deep confidence brewing inside of her.
