I really enjoy the plot of the book because it grabbed my attention and made me want to keep reading. It’s a perfect mix of drama and romance. I definitely love the writing style because it keeps me wondering what will happen next. It makes me want to skip ahead and see what happens next. “have you ever seen Marcita Diaz?” “no” “Then how do you know it wasn't her?” (145)This is very mysterious and keeps you wondering who it really was. She is extremely descriptive in her writing. You can really tell how someone is feeling, or what someone looks like. “His jeans had holes in the knees and hung loosely below his waist” (36) Brand New Emily is a chick flick that the ordinary girl would love. It has a hint of romance, drama, and a sad backstory. I would recommend this book to all girl. It’s a book you can really get into.
