Eileen gave to: Blaze (or Love in the Time of Supervillains) by Laurie Boyle Crompton (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of this book and readers should be sure to add it to their to-read shelf. Lots of laugh out loud moments, but also great honest emotion.

Eileen liked Lauren's review of The Almost Truth: " I love Eileen Cook's novels: they always manage to be unique, but with a classic feel, the kind of book teens will read for years to come. Her newest is such a book - surprisingly warm, with an instantly likable main character, and unexpected twis... " Read more of this review »

Eileen liked Autumn's review of Unraveling Isobel: " I really did love this book, and I wasn't expecting to! Not that I didn't think it'd be good, but I just don't expect to love books all the time, you know? Besides being just a plain good book, it was very funny; by the end, I had a note card that w...

Quotes by Eileen Cook

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you do something embarrassing like fall down the stairs in front of a group of people, you are required to act like you are fine, even if you aren't. Your arm could have a bone jutting out, and you would still try to laugh it off as if everything were hunky dory. This compound fracture? It's nothing! I like to let my bones out of my body once in a while for fresh air. It's good for them.”
― Eileen Cook, The Education of Hailey Kendrick

“Why is being an unmarried woman something that we should be ashamed of, as if we’ve failed? Men don’t feel this way. When they haven’t married, they make it sound like they’ve gotten away with something. Their single status makes them even more appealing to the other sex.”
― Eileen Cook, Unpredictable

“Tell me the truth. When you were a kid, did you always color inside the lines?”
"Coloring in the lines is the whole point. That’s why they have lines,” I said.
“That’s where you’re wrong. The lines are there just to hold you in. Like a prison. Think what you might have created if there hadn’t been any lines.”
― Eileen Cook, The Education of Hailey Kendrick
