My nose is pierced and I have-WAIT? IS THAT A TATTOO?

It's All Your Fault is a quick and fun young adult contemporary novel that will leave readers laughing - even after they've finished the book. The story is about one epic weekend that led "good girl"Caitlin to do things she never thought she was capable of - like getting a tattoo, getting put in jail, and stealing a car - to name a few. She doesn't know what to tell everyone who's asking her a million questions - her parents, the cops, the mayor of her town, her church's reverend, and a ton of lawyers, news reporters and paparazzi.
This was a really fast and funny YA contemporary novel that I ended up reading in a few hours. I'm not a big fan of the genre, but this book sounded fun and interesting - kind of a breath of fresh air for me. I'm so glad I took the chance and read this book! The story is told by Caitlin, our main character, as she goes over all of the events and situations that have occurred during the past weekend. I'm a big advocate for first person point of view, and I'm so glad that the author chose to write the book this way. I loved getting to know Caitlin and hearing about all of the craziness that she was involved in over the weekend in question. Since it's written in first person, we get a really personal connection with Caitlin and are privy to her every thought, her fears and other emotions, and memories. Caitlin is a realistic main character and I immediately loved her from the first page of the book. The plot is fun, ridiculous, and inventive. I've never read a novel like this before. It seemed like Caitlin was telling me the story of what happened (or like I was right there beside her the entire time). There's so many little things about the book that I loved - I can't even begin to talk about them all. I'm pretty much a "good girl" too, just like Caitlin, so I could easily relate to her thoughts and feelings - and appreciate how out of character and ridiculous the things she did were. I can't really say much more about the book - you need to pick up a copy and experience it yourself. It's a great story that made me laugh out loud (which doesn't happen often) and is the perfect read for when you're having a bad day. The chapters are short, the pace is natural but quick and easy to read, and the story is truly fun. I highly recommend this book to fans of the genre, as well as readers who are looking for a light read or something different from the norm. Pick up this book now!
