Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum 4/5

This was a recommendation from my library back when I filled out the survey to get five book recommendations. At the time, I saw that the audiobook is read by the same reader as another book I had recently listened to, and I was already getting tired of her voice. When I needed physical books to take with me for jury duty, I remembered this one. I'm glad I read the physical book because there was a lot of email, IMing, and texting.

Anyway. The story is about Jessie, a teenager who has just moved to L.A. from Chicago with her dad. She has to adjust to living in a new house with her new step-mom and step-brother, and she's really having trouble adjusting at her new school. One day, she gets an email from Somebody Nobody, a person at her school who wishes to remain anonymous. SN wants to give her advice about fitting in and who to be friends with. Jessie and SN write back and forth a lot. He refuses to tell her who he is, and she tries to figure it out, because they've become really good friends. It's a cute teenage love story.
