Lexi's Pathetic Fictional Love Life Lexi Middleton has been socially invisible to her classmates, but starting her junior year, that’s going to change. First, she’s determined to hook a boyfriend, ensuring dates with flowers and possible kisses on the doorstep. Second, she wants to be a writer for the school paper, even though it freaks her out to think of everyone judging her by her punctuation and metaphors. High school is difficult enough—keeping up her grades, dealing with increasing sibling rivalry, and trying to stay out of the way of her personal nemesis, Amberlee—but when Lexi catches the eye of her long-time crush, she also becomes the focus of mean-girl tactics. Caught between who she was and who she wants to be, Lexi must decide how to confront a bully, and choose who to let into her heart.

Oh, and by the way, she’s two people— Canda Mortensen and Deanna Henderson, a mother/daughter writing team.

They are debut authors, with Lexi’s Pathetic Fictional Love Life as their first completed work. Other titles include Newbie and Damnation. Deanna attended college before marrying and starting her family. Canda received a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a Reading Specialist endorsement, and a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership.

My review;
Lexi has decided that she is sick of not being noticed by other kids in school. She is going to do the things she has always wanted to do. She wants to be a writer and she wants to be like other girls and get a boyfriend.
No matter what she does though there is one girl who is going to watch and try to make her life miserable. Amberlee is not going to go away. So she starts to be a bully towards Lexi. What can Lexi do? What should she do? I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
