Flirt Club

So they start Flirt Club, a secret society of equally distressed buds to help each other out, landing some hilarious and touching results. --Girls' Life Told through very funny notes to each other, journal entries, and minutes from Flirt Club meetings, Daly's debut sparkles with wit, and her protagonists brim with enthusiasm and heart. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Told through a series of notes, journal entries, and minutes from Flirt Club meetings, Daly's tale of the (mis)adventures of a pair of self-professed drama dorks is a warm and funny portrait of the ups and downs of middle school life. --The Horn Book The girls' friendships are authentic and the situations are definitely on target for middle schoolers. --School Library Journal With a pleasing blend of genuine warmth and witty banter, Daly gets the tone just right as she offers up a nice counterbalance to the typical mean-girl story, focusing more on the candid affection between Annie and Izzy than on junior-high dramatics. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Told through the girls' locker notes, lists, and journal entries, this entertaining read features peppy prose, humor, and on-target issues, such as dealing with insecurities, heartbreak, mean girls, and physical-relationship pressures. --Booklist Just the ticket for preadolescent girls. --Kirkus Reviews
