book review: eleven birthdays

Hey, guys!  Well...nonexistent guys since nobody really follows this blog anyways.
Today, we have a book review!  Yay!
"Eleven" by Wendy Mass is a book about a young girl who gets into a fight with her best friend on their tenth birthdays.  They were born miraculously on the same day.  When her eleventh birthday rolls around, she finds it's horrible and is really glad it's over.  But the next day...it's her birthday again.  Long story short, she needs to reconcile with her friend or else every day will be her eleventh birthday forever.
The story is classic Wendy Mass.  It's sweet, fun, lighthearted, but it also carries it's own heavy note of truth.  Abbey (the main character) learns a lot about taking responsibilities for her actions, second chances, looking out for other people, third chances, forgiving people, fourth chances, and the importance of family.  Alongside sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth chances.  So, yeah.  It's a really sweet piece of chick lit that's family friendly for anyone who cares to read it.  I give it seven out of ten, and I definitely recommend it.
