Fabulous Terrible the Adventures of You

Biblioteca Tremula Blog Review

So the deal is that you’re an orphan and foster kid who has never been able to fit in, in large part due to these psychic fits you have. So instead of being sent back to a girls’ home, you apply to a bunch of boarding schools and not only get accepted to the best of them, but get a full ride. The first, and best, half of the book deals with how you begin to make friends and adjust to being surrounded by wealth and privilege. This would all be hard enough, but from the beginning someone seems to be sabotaging you. And there are hints that the reasons for it are bigger than you or anything you can imagine. But you make a couple of really good, true friends, and they help you figure out what’s going on.

Talbot does a fabulous (pun intended) job writing this book and it kept me intrigued throughout the book. 'I' went through leaving my best friend, starting at a lavish boarding school, made new best friends, and discovered something extraordinary about myself.

Sarah's Young Adult Book Blog Review

I just finished reading a new book, Fabulous Terrible: The Adventures of You. This fantasy novel that revolves around a foster kid who goes to boarding school is different than any book I have ever read; it may even be the first of its kind on the market. What makes this book different is the main character, it is you.

The book is published by Chooseco, who is famous for their Choose Your Own Adventure line of books. I know as a kid I was an avid reader of them. Remember: dying in the books doesn’t count if you still have you hand on the previous page. Similar to those books you are the main character, however you do not have to choose any paths in this one it is straightforward story.
I must admit that I wasn’t too into the main character being me, because I know I’m not that person and I just couldn’t feel like it was me. However, I must admit that once I got past the “you look around” stuff, I found an actually really good fantasy chick-lit book.
