About the book

Bridget Jones comes to YA in a story about a girl who's a bit of a mess and sandwiched between two seemingly perfect sisters, that fans of Morgan Matson and Jenny Han will love.
"That girl is such a mess." "Why can't she be like her sisters?"Blah, blah, blah. That's all Mia Campbell-Richardson ever hears. From her parents, her teachers, and her never-do-wrong older sister, Grace. So what if she parties too hard and studies too little? Who cares if she tends to end up with the wrong guys or says the wrong things at the wrong times? She's still a good friend (except when she isn't). And she still knows the way things should go (except when they don't).When Grace comes home with shocking news, Mia hopes that it's finally Grace's turn to get into trouble. But instead it's Mia whose life spirals out of control.So if you've ever said something you later regretted (likely), accidentally broken a friend's heart (possibly), or ruined a wedding in spectacular fashion (hopefully you haven't), All About Mia will make you laugh, cry, cry-laugh, and laugh-cry in recognition that life is sometimes most entertaining when it's at its most unfair.

    This truly surprised me in a really good way! I've never read anything by Lisa Williamson before and I picked this on a whim, without any expectations. All I wanted was a fun, light-hearted story - and that's exactly what I got. In my opinion, this is one of those books that are perfect if you're just beginning to be in a reading slump - you're flying through it, forgetting everything around you, but at the same time, it's not complicated or dense either. Also, I loved how Lisa Williamson managed to characterize Mia very implicitly. Her characterization is a great example of the 'showing, not telling' method, and it's exceptionally well done. While I didn't like Mia very much in the beginning, I started to understand her better as the story progressed. I saw how she was treated by others and that her behavior was really just a response to that - a scream for attention, if you will. Altogether, the story was very realistic - not overdramatic and just with the right amount of twists and turns. I would recommend it to anyone who craves a fun, light-hearted story!

    3,5* Natürlich war Mia eine Bitch, aber das war irgendwie der Punkt. Ich fand ihre Geschichte spannend und auch ihre Entwicklung gut. Trotzdem haben mich so einige Dinge gestört, wie z.B. Mias Freunde, die sich teilweise genauso toxisch verhalten haben wie sie. Schreibstil war aber top, ich mag es sehr, wie Lisa Williamson schreibt.
