PLEASE READ THIS MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT
Okay, maybe that was a bit melodramatic, but I'm sorry, I'm feeling a bit melodramatic at the moment.
Here's the deal. My name is Brooklyn Pierce, I'm fifteen years old, and I am decisionally challenged. Seriously, I can't remember the last "good "decision I made. I can remember "plenty "of crappy ones though. Including that party I threw when my parents were out of town that "accidentally "burned down a model home. Yeah, not my finest moment, for sure.
But see, that's why I started a blog. To enlist readers to make my decisions for me. That's right. I gave up. Threw in the towel. I let someone else decide which book I read for English. And whether or not I accepted an invitation to join the debate team from that cute-in-a-dorky-sort-of-way guy who gave me the Heimlich maneuver in the cafeteria. (Note to self: "chew" the melon before swallowing it.) I even let them decide who I dated
Well, it turns out there are some things in life you simply can't choose or have chosen for you like who you fall in love with. And now everything's more screwed up than ever.
But don't take my word for it. Read "My Life Undecided "by Jessica Brody and decide for yourself. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scream in frustration. Or maybe that's just me. After all, it's "my" life."

Notă biografică
Jessica Brody knew from a young age that she wanted to be a writer. She started "self-publishing" her own books when she was seven years old, binding the pages together with cardboard, wallpaper samples, and electrical tape.
Brody graduated from Smith College in 2001 with a double major in Economics and French and a minor in Japanese. She went to work for MGM Studios as Manager of Acquisitions and Business Development; in 2005 she quit her job to follow her dream of becoming a published author.
Brody is the author of the young adult novel "The Karma Club" and two novels for adults--"The Fidelity Files" and "Love Under Cover." Jessica's books are published in more than ten countries, including the UK, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, Brazil, China, Portugal, and Taiwan. She now works full time as a writer and producer and splits her time between Los Angeles and Colorado.
