Accidentally Me by Kim Karras
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Source: REceived from Publisher to Review
Genre: Contemporary Fiction

Book Description: WANTED: Pretend stalker. No experience required. Tall, dark, and quirky preferred. Sabrina is desperate to go to her dream college, but her parents want her to stay close to home. If she wants to maintain her perfect child image, Sabrina must break rules that even her rebel sister keeps . . .



My thoughts: Sabrina believes that her life is one big accident. She was an unplanned pregnancy, so she thinks that she was an unwelcome accident and that her parents don't care about her as much as her older brother and sister.

Sabrina has a goal in mind. She wants to go to CalTech. Her parents want her to stay close to home and go to school in Boise. In desperation she concocts a plan, she tells them she has a stalker and hopes that they will feel that she is unsafe in Idaho and let her go to California. She finds the perfect stalker on Facebook, a nerdy boy she knew in high school and pays him to "stalk" her.

Sabrina goes through a lot of growth in this book. She is very quirky, nerdy, insecure, and naive. She doesn't realize the consequences of her action. The book is told in a humorous tone of voice that helped me to like Sabrina and her less than perfect family.

I liked the realizations that Sabrina finally grasps. She learns about family, honest, love, and trust. Maybe the best things in life happen through an "accident".

This book is fairly clean with references to illegitimate children, dishonesty, and innuendo.
