Absolutely Normal Chaos, Elyushka

This book is a journal that a girl named Mary Lou keeps for a school project over the summer. She is supposed to do it so her new teacher will read it and know more about her.

At first, her life seems like it is off to a normal start, but then her cousin Carl Ray who she has never met comes and lives with them for a while, and the summer turns around.

Also, her best friend, Beth Ann, totally turns away from Mary Lou for a while, so she can be with her new boyfriend. Her life turns even MORE, when her all time crush starts wanting to see her.

A whole chaotic summer begins, and she suddenly thinks, "Wait, my teacher is going to read this?" and makes up her mind to change that.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes exciting mystery like puzzles, and to anyone who doesn't mind some love mush in between discoveries...
