I am going to be reading, Perfectly Dateless by: Kristin Billerbeck.  I was intrigued by this book because it seems to be about romance, the title is Perfectly Dateless, after all.  I was very interested in reading about a girl who isn't very conventional and who seems to be about my age, she might be a little bit older since she is talking about prom instead of homecoming, but still is around the same age group.  Another part of the cover summary that I liked is that her problems also include her parents which aren't usually the main conflict of romance novels.   

     My prediction is that in the end of the book, Daisy (the main character) will find herself the perfect date to prom, but will leave because she would rather be with her family.  I predict this because somehow, the conflict with her parents will have to be resolved and usually the realistic fiction genre gives the reader an enjoyable and satisfying ending.  I think she will realize that nothing is more important then her family and that they have reasons for what they say and do. 

   Kristen Billerbeck has written many novels, at least 30, and is very well-known for writing romance and realistic fiction novels.  She has written a few series of books including: Ashley Stockingdale, Spa Girls, Universally Misunderstood, Trophy Wives Club, and Smitten Novella.  She is very accomplished.  Here is a link to an interview about Perfectly Dateless, which is a Universally Misunderstood book: http://www.teenreads.com/authors/kristin-billerbeck/news/interview-070910 .
