Frist Quarter SSR book

The book I read this first quarter is Am I Right or Am I Right written by Barry Johnsberg. In this 249 paged humor fiction book, it follows the life of a 16-year-old Australian girl named Calma Harrison. Calma is the speaker of the novel and acknowledges the reader very often. I really liked the aspect of the speaker being in tune with the reader and even calling herself an unreliable speaker many times. We follow Calma through a few interesting months in her life where she feels as if she is juggling a lot in her life. She has to face her dad coming home, a new boyfriend, a new job, and very surprising information about her friend along with little inconveniences (that she blew out of proportion) getting in the way. She is a very impulsive and dramatic character. I really enjoyed the novel. It was very simple and easy-toned, but it also incorporated poetry that was written by Calma. However, the book was very hectic with a lot going on in Calma's life. Although she blatantly said that she was not a reliable speaker, I did not expect how all of her very crazy stories would actually all come together and make sense at the end. All in all, Am I Right or Am I Right was a very fun and entertaining book to read as a teenager. It is somewhat relatable to what actually goes on in a teen girl's life, but also engaging with the aspect of exaggeration. For a non-book reader like me, I really enjoyed it and wanted to keep reading more.
