    About this ebook



    Rose Zarelli, self-proclaimed word geek and angry girl, has some confessions to make

    1. I'm livid all the time. Why? My dad died. My mom barely talks. My brother abandoned us. I think I'm allowed to be irate, don't you?

    2. I make people furious regularly. Want an example? I kissed Jamie Forta, a badass guy who might be dating a cheerleader. She is now enraged and out for blood. Mine.

    3. High school might as well be Mars. My best friend has been replaced by an alien, and I see red all the time. (Mars is red and "seeing red" means being angryget it?)

    Here are some other vocab words that describe my life: Inadequate. Insufferable. Intolerable.

    (Don't know what they mean? Look them up yourself.)

    (Sorry. That was rude.)

    Book 1 of the Confessions series.

      Love it!!As a teenager, I can really relate with this book (not that my life is like theirs) because the way the author writes, it's not too formal eventhough there are some words that I can't understand. But I do like to learn new words and this book really helps me to widen my usage of vocabulary as a student. I'm dying to read the full version. Where can I found a full preview for free?
    • 3/5
      I'm anticipating the second book, Confessions of an Almost Girlfriend, in 2013. It should be "even better" than the first. The characters; Regina was horrible, Angelo was a good friend, Tracy was a dunce, Matt was a jerk and Jamie....was confused with misguided actions. Rose, what can I say about Rose? Rose is an angry girl who lost her Father, was a pushover, who got even angrier and then got even!

      I would like to thank Netgalley and Harlequin Teen for allowing me to read and review this book.

    • 5/5
      I wasn't really sure what to expect from Confessions of An Angry Girl. I loved the idea of a girl who is clearly a wordsmith, as I adore learning new words and finding ways to incorporate them into sentences, and was also very interested in just how angry Rose really was. Turns out, she's nearly apoplectic (see what I did there?), in more ways than one, and actually has some very good reasons for being so. Aside from her anger, Rose is also heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measures, making for a reading experience that was fun and heart-wrenching all at the same time.Everyone knows that high school is a difficult transition for some teens, and Rose Zarelli is no exception. She doesn't conform to the same rules of popularity as others, and isn't interested in doing so, either, which makes her a definite outcast. Combine that with her anger and sadness over her dad's death, and the fact that she and her best friend seem to be growing apart, and you get a read that's definitely full of ups and downs. I actually found myself tearing up a couple of times, in fact, which was not something I'd been expecting and always makes the shock of those emotions more poignant. The parts that particularly got me were her thoughts about her dad, and the way she tried to navigate the way her anger would come and go so hot and furious that it left her - and the reader - reeling. Her reactions and feelings are so realistic and well done that I simply have to applaud the author for writing Rose with such a careful and well-thought-out manner. I really came to love every bit of her.This book also has an unconventional romance, in that Rose falls for Jamie, who not only is an upperclassman with a girlfriend, but also a guy that her circle of friends really looks down on. I'm not even sure you can call this a romance, since Rose spends the entire book not actually being "with" Jamie at all, despite some very well-written and rather steamy kisses shared between them. One of the places I teared up, actually, is during an interaction she has with Jamie in which he tells her one of his secrets, but then pulls away from her, saying he shouldn't have kissed her. There's a definite back and forth that's a bit maddening to read about, but is completely understandable and therefore not as eye-roll inducing as it could be. I can't help but root for the two of them to get things figured out.No book set in a high school would be complete without mean girl drama, but in Confessions of An Angry Girl, it's ratcheted up a bit because Rose experiences some very real bullying and harassment. While the educator in me wanted to shake her and make her tell an adult exactly what was happening, the part of me that was a teenager myself fully grasped why she wouldn't want to, particularly after some events earlier in the book. It didn't make it any easier to read about, but I liked how the culmination of the mean girl story line lead to some reconciliations on Rose's part which helped the book remain more hopeful than angsty.All in all I found this book to be absolutely wonderful, even when it was dealing with subject matter that is decidedly not lighthearted. There is an underlying humor throughout, and Rose herself has much to do with that. I loved the romance, the teen issues, and the way Rose's anger at her father's death was handled. There are some very serious topics tackled within this book's 266 pages, and it's all done incredibly well. I can definitely say that this is one book I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone.
    • 5/5
      I was pleasantly surprised by Confessions of an Angry Girl. I have to admit, even after I'd heard good things about it, I was afraid it'd be some teenage angst fest and that I'd want to murder the narrator. However, I found Rose to be charming and funny. All of the characters were unique, flawed, and realistic. The plot was endearing. I couldn't put this book down, and I can't wait for the next installment. Rose is the most honest narrator I've read in awhile. She says what she feels whether anyone wants to hear it or not. I respect her for that. She has every right in the world to be angry, but she's not terribly mean to people. She tries to do what she thinks is best. I felt bad for her because of all the problems she had in the past and continued having, but some of her awkwardness was just hilarious. Rose's best friend, Tracy, is a surprise. Just when you think she's being the stereotypical crappy friend, she turns it around and is decent. I also have no idea what is going on with her brother, Peter. I'd like to see more about him. Jamie is a bit of a mystery, too, but I think he's a good guy. I feel bad for him because he really tries to do what's right, even if it's not necessarily what's best. Poor guy. I hope he and Rose figure things out.The plot for this book is engaging, and I couldn't put the book down until it was finished. I kept hitting the "next" button on my Kindle in hopes of extra pages being hidden. Unfortunately, there were no extra pages. There are a few things that are left open-ended, and I feel wish I had some explanations right now. But nooooo I have to wait for book #2. *Grumbles* The pacing is perfect. This is a quick read. I was able to read it all in one sitting. Nothing felt rushed, though, and I felt like I got to know the main characters well. I am glad that this is going to be a series. I am looking forward to watching Rose grow over the course of the novels.Overall, I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants a fun, contemporary read. Confessions of an Angry Girl deals with very real and serious issues, but in a lighthearted way. Give this book a try. You won't be sorry.

      Talk about riling my emotions. This author sure knows how to work me up! I wasn't even a quarter way through the book and man, even I was pissed!The plot of the book is what really catches the reader. Rose has been through hell and back. So how come no one has no compassion for her huh? Everyone just's wants to jump on her case and make it seems like she is "out of control." UGH! You don't know how much I wanted to step into the book and slap these characters silly! Seriously, I don't think I ever had my blood pressure get so high. Oh, wait a minute. Yes, now that I recall, Ms. Rachel Vincent does the same thing to me. Same publisher too. The irony is astounding. *scratches chin*Anywhoo back to Ms. Rozett. Honey, you are a genius. Her characters are raw yet you can feel them developing right in front of you. I enjoyed being in their shoes and feeling every single depth of emotions that they give off. I like that Rose has so much on her mind to say. Sometimes, and this is totally true, I found myself saying exactly what she is thinking out loud before I even read it HA! Freaky huh? There is a love interest that I found enduring yet ending so suddenly. I know that these two can be so much more but people just don't know how to mind their own damn business! And that's what gets you about this love. They are totally meant to be. Except for the snobby people who I like to slap! *ugh* Given the chance, these two can grow and learn from each other. Already, they are fight for the love that has not even begin yet. That's why folks, I am already needing the second book.Confessions Of An Angry Girl is all that you wanted to say and more. Sarcastic thoughts, followed by murderous glares, you just know what she is thinking. I found myself quickly caught up in a beautifully written book who's emotions are hidden off to the world. This bittersweet tale of young girl just trying to make her way, will blow your mind.

      Set to be released on the 28th of August, Confessions of an Angry Girl by Louise Rozett deals with everyday issues with almost every teenage girl out there in the world.Confessions of an Angry Girl (Confessions, #1)It's about Rose Zarreli, a freshman, starting high school with the death of her father hanging over her. Teachers treat her differently, because they feel bad for her, her best friend is changing and only has one thing on her mind...sex. Is Rose ready to deal with that? She's not so sure.That's when Jamie comes into the picture.Over her entire freshman year, Rose deals with heartache of friendship, change, and figuring out what certain things mean with a guy.Is Jamie different than those other sex-seeking high school boys? And why is Regina (the evil cheerleader) bullying her about it?Oh wait, maybe because Jamie is actually still together with Regina, but things get seriously complicated, when threats are thrown out, bullying increases, and Rose is left alone because her supposed best friend ha chosen the wrong side.Will Rose be able to make it through her freshman year? What will happen with her and Jamie? And will Regina stop bullying her?Find out on the 28th of August, in Louise Rozett's debut YA novel Confessions of an Angry Girl!My thoughts:I REALLY enjoyed this one! I thought Rose was so relate able, especially to any Teenage girl who has ever been bullied. This is the perfect book dealing with the starting of high school, friendships, first love, and the difficulties of the mean girls...I do have one thing to say, Rose had the WORST best friend ever!! Tracy is selfish, doesn't care what her best friend has been dealing with, and only cares about getting laid by her boyfriend, who everyone knows may not be the most faithful.I found myself relating to Rose's situation in that I had similar thing happen to me my freshman year. I lost my best friend at the time, because of her boyfriend, and how mean he was. He said some truly unforgivable things, involving my German heritage (involving a past that Germany isn't proud of), and she wouldn't stick up for me, instead sticking for him.Let's just say I saw her true colors that year, and we haven't been friends since.This is a great story for young readers, especially ones starting out with a tough time in high school. It will allow them to know they aren't the only ones out there. A lot of us had similar experiences.REALLY looking forward to the next book in the series!!Read it! :)The Romance Bookie :)

      I really connected with this book — way more than I thought I would. I thought it would just be a fun, entertaining contemporary read.. and it was, but it was also much more than that. This book hit me on a personal level because I could completely connect with Rose’s high school experiences, and that’s what this book is about.Rose is a freshman at high school and so far.. she’s not crazy about it. She and her best friend since like, forever, began high school together but they’re slowly growing apart. Lucy joins the cheerleading squad and turns into a party girl, whereas Rose is more down to earth and not caught up in the social scene. This is like, the definition of what happened to me just before high school. I had a best friend who I did everything with and we were practically inseparable. But then she started drinking, smoking, and turning into a teenage party girl, whereas I stayed behind and didn’t change all that much. That’s why I loved this book so much — because I was able to relate to Rose on a really personal level and it made me completely rethink my early high school years.We follow Rose through the school year, watching her crush on a guy, her friendships change and get torn apart, and we see her try to deal with the grief from her father’s recent death. This book has a lot of emotion and deals with topics that I’m sure most of us can relate to: drama, drinking, sex, bullying, loss, and friendship. Rose had a really unique and down to earth character that I absolutely loved. She didn’t try to sound cool or composed — she was just her sarcastic, witty, “I don’t really care what you think” self, and I LOVED it! That’s what made the story so real, refreshing, and relatable. I laughed, I cried, and I screamed in disappointment when the book came to an end. I didn’t even realize that this book would be a series until I got to the last page and saw:CONFESSIONS OF AN ALMOST GIRLFRIEND Coming in 2013 from Harlequin TEEN.I did not want this book to end! I wasn’t ready to leave Rose’s world and I wanted to find out what happened next.
