Book Description

Publication Date: 4 Aug 2011
I was about to live a sixteen-year-old's dream.
House on the beach.
No parents.
Parties whenever we wanted.
Boys wherever we wanted.

April and her best friend, Vi, are living by themselves. Of course, April's parents don't know that. They think she's living with Vi and Vi's mum. But it's not April's fault that her dad decided to move away in the middle of high school. So who could blame her for a little white lie? Or the other nine things that April (probably) shouldn't have done that year...

Wit, energy, and an uncanny understanding of teenage logic.

About the Author

Sarah Mlynowski started writing books when she was three years old. Kind of. She would tell them and her mom would transcribe them. They were all about Princesses named Sarah. After learning to use her own pencil, she continued scribbling stories throughout elementary and high school, and studied English literature in college.
When she was twenty-four she published her first chick lit novel, Milkrun. Since then she has written six novels for teens, four additional novels for adults, co-written a guide to writing chick lit (See Jane Write), co-edited two bestselling charity collections, and contributed to various anthologies. Originally from Montreal, Sarah now lives in Manhattan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done 13 Sep 2011
By Jenny, Wondrous Reads TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done is such a fun, realistic contemporary novel, and is one of the best I've read this year. Each character is engaging and different, and their interwoven stories all kept me reading well past my bedtime. I remember I was at work wishing I could go home and see what happened next - I haven't had that feeling for a while!

Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done is Sarah Mlynowski's second book to be published in the UK, and I hope to read Gimme A Call sometime soon. She has a great writing style and knows teenagers inside out, never compromising their realism or making them seem overly fictional. Her characters get into dodgy situations that teenagers are renowned for and, although the occasional event may seem too exaggerated, for the most part it's all on par with teenagers today.

April, the book's incredibly likeable main character, ends up living with her best friend Vi in her parent-less apartment with room for a new hot tub. April is dating Noah, who is an attractive, seemingly perfect boyfriend. You can imagine what their lives are like when they suddenly find themselves unsupervised and able to do whatever they want - teenage chaos ensues, and it's not always pretty. There are of course lots of laughs, and I still can't believe some of the stuff they got up to. This book is definitely very well titled!

I read Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done when I just wanted something light and quick to lose myself in. It was exactly that, with more drama and more character development than I originally thought. I won't hesitate to read new Mlynowski books in the future, as I really enjoyed this one and still feel a little bereft at having finished April's story. Check it out if you're a fan of straight-up modern contemporaries - you won't be disappointed!

3.0 out of 5 stars Teen chick lit 23 Feb 2012
By Pam Dhinsa VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
This is a book that doesn't tackle teenage issues in a serious way like the authors Sarah Dessen or Elizabeth Scott do. I would describe it as chick lit for teenagers. Light hearted, unbelievable stuff happens. Like two sixteen year olds living by themselves with a hot tub!! However the author does deal with serious issues such as divorcee, sex, weight loss and other teenage problems with humor in a light hearted way. I think mature teenagers aged 14+ would relate to it and find it easy to read.

April has parent issues, in that her parents have split up and and she has chosen not to move away with her Mum, she was living with her Dad and his new wife but they have moved too. April doesn't want to move away with them and so comes up with a plan to move in with her friend Vi. However what Vi's Dad doesn't know is that Vi's Mum has gone away too!!

Anyway we follow the life of April as she deals with boyfriend dramas, friendship issues and living without parents (every teenagers dream!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining 19 Jan 2012
By Original Bookworm
Format:Paperback
Another one of my daughter's books I decided to test read. It was most amusing and I felt it dealt with many teen issues in a sensitive way that was not too explicit nor so bland as to bore. It seems to be very hard to find decent 'girly' teen books these days (esp ones that do not involve vampires!)but this is certainly one of them. Wish teen books were this good when I was that age!
