Becca has a habit, though she never knew it would get her in so much trouble. You see, she tells more than she has to. Many times in her life, she has been told, “Too much information, Becca.” She’s sick of it. When she blabs about her boyfriend’s uncomfortable kisses, she gets dumped. As a New Year’s Resolution, she stops telling too much information so instead she starts an anyomous blog to get her feelings out while sparing embarrassment. On her blog, she admits her crush, reveals her friend’

TMI by Sarah Quigley was an amazing book. I love all the drama and happenings in this book. The characters were relatable and they seemed like they could have been real I loved seeing the development through the book. The writing style was very simple so I liked that and the book is very relatable for me. The main character reminds me of one of my best friends becuase well sadly she's not very good at keeping secrects. This teaches you a valuble lesson to try to stay away from drama if possible

Becca, a high school sophomore, is a bubbly girl who loves to talk about anything, anytime. She shares every little detail of her life and other lives with her friends, and it finally gets her into big trouble when her boyfriend breaks up with her for blabbing about his sloppy kisses to her friends. Becca decides that's the last time she'll overshare, so she stops talking all the time and instead begins anonymously blogging about her life, changing names and embellishing personalities to make

Becca can’t help it — she’s an overshare queen. If she knows a secret, you should know it won’t be a secret for too long. But when Becca’s overshares cause her boyfriend to break up with her, Becca turns online to write a blog entitled “TMI: Too Much Information” (her least favorite phrase!) to let her overshares loose without anyone the wiser. And it works until Becca updates the blog at school and the address is shared with her classmates. All of Becca’s secrets are out again…and some secrets

Cover: The cover is nice. I like how the green eyes match the font.
StoryLine: This book was kind of hard to get into. Don't get me wrong, there were times where I found myself flying through the pages, eager to know what happens next, but there were just as many times where I found myself trying to pick the book back up and to get back into it.

TMI was a fun and thoughtful book. I found it easier to relate to than most other books set in high school. Most of the things that happen in this book happen everyday in the halls of high schools. Also the characters seemed like people I know, definitely.
So while I myself related more with Becca's friend Katie (I personally tend to undershare) I definitely got a kick out of Becca, let's just say I have a few overshare queens in my own family! I definitely know what it's like to hear More...

Becca is the queen of oversharing; she can’t help saying whatever’s on her mind, even if it’s inappropriate or embarrassing (to herself, or to others). When her big mouth causes her first boyfriend to break up with her, she realizes that she needs to channel her urge to share somewhere else. She starts a blog, TMI (too much information), with pseudonyms and fantasies, thinking that no one will ever connect it with her life in Pine Prairie, MN. The plot is fairly predictable, but the writing s

This book is about a girl named Becca who just shares everything that is on her mind (Too Much Information). Because of this habit, she doesn't have too many friends. She decides to make an anonymous blog where she can say anything she feels without people knowing it is her. There is lots of drama in the book varying from boy troubles, friend problems, and family disagreements. I recommend this book to people who like lots of drama and action in a book. It also has a little bit of humor to make

Plot: I really liked the idea of TMI. The whole idea of teens having blogs and the repercussions of blogs is something that isn't written about too much. So, the idea was very original. However, I think that this story could've been written a little better than it was. In the beginning, I found it very slow moving and boring. I didn't really get into the story until almost a hundred pages in. Then it got really exciting, but then, just after a little bit, it got boring again, and the ending seem

This book took me by surprise. I honestly thought it was gonna be just one of those YA novels, no offense Sarah Quigley, and I am so glad it wasn't! Now that Sarah, that girl can write and entertain. TMI made me laugh soo darn much, and not just on the inside, on the outside too. It's laugh out loud funny! I really liked it. :)

This is definitely one of those Message Books: Do.Not.Make.This.Mistake. ... but it's done in such a way that I think the target audience can relate to and perhaps get, message-wise. It falls into that group of books that includes Good Girls, or Story of a Girl, with less drastic issues. It also falls into the Girl Starts Blog/Diary genre. Or the G-rated version of an ABC Afterschool Special.

I think everyone has had a TMI moment at one time in their life. Becca unfortunately has a ton of them! The girl had me rolling on the floor. Well I guess Sarah Quigley had me rolling on the floor!
I felt like I was stepping back in to my small town high school when I was reading this book. The characters held a overwhelming sense of deja-vu. I’m not exactly sure it that made this a more enjoyable read, but it did hold a more realistic aspect for me.

Becca likes to talk and tends to share too much about herself and her friends with others. When she kisses and tells a bit too much about her first boyfriend, Becca learns how much that can hurt. In an attempt to control her oversharing, she decides to write an anonymous blog as a diary to help keep her thoughts more private. With friends Katie and Jai by her side, Becca navigates this highschool drama with character. A cute, if not overly reaching, highschool novel.

This was just your everyday fluffy chick-lit book. It was a great read and the only reason that I'm not giving it a full five-stars is because the premise of the novel has been done before. Girl talks to much...hurts her friends...they make up and become friends again. It's just typical. BUT it was a fun read and very light hearted.
COMMITTEE WISE: Not going to recommend it because of a lack of pertinent literary value and simplicity of plot!

Becca has a habit of sharing too much information. This sometimes leads to trouble. When she blabs about her boyfriends kisses and gets dumped, she feels terrible. She decides to start an open blog (bak idea!) called TMI where she vents all her feelings. The book is in a high school setting some drama.
Overall, I liked this book. It was a nice light read. It doens't compare to books like the Harry Potter series, though.

“Oversharer” is a great word and it fits the protagonist of TMI, Becca, perfectly. How she learns to cope with her inability to close her mouth is at times both hilarious and touching. I am so proud to call Quigley a fellow Carl, since we both attended Carleton College in Minnesota. Three cheers for her debut novel!
