The Year My Life Went Down The Loo

This month I read the book "The Year My Life Went Down The Loo" by Katie Maxwell. This was the first book in the Emily series, and I had read the book before over a year ago but decided to read it again before reading the rest of the Emily series over the rest of this year.
In this book Emily Williams is not excited to move to England from Seattle for a year. She gets set back a year in school, has to wear an ugly school uniform, and has a hard time adjusting to life across the pond. Her mum and father (who insists being called "brother") and sister Bess set to embarass her, and an underwear ghost fondeling her bras makes her want to go home. But three hot guys and the chance to meet her favourite actor make her want to stay. The book is comprised of emails where she tells her friend Dru back in Seattle about all her expirences, including many mishaps, disasters, and hillarious chaos. It covers lots of topics about relationships and growing up too (ummm sex...) so this book would be more appropriate for a teenager and young adults. This book is a fast read and very funny. I give it 5 stars.
