YOU'VE GOT BLACKMAIL is one of those books that has so many things going on at the same time. It wasn't until I was over halfway through the story that I finally had an inkling of where it was going. Whether that is good or bad, I can't say. But it did keep me guessing up until the end!

This was my first British novel, so you can image the culture shock or the head-spins from all that foreign slag. To tell you the truth, you really need a glossary of British slang because most of the time, I didn't know what they were even talking about. And I thought some of our slang words were silly, try this out for size:
Instead of saying or saying something close to "Saved by a bell", they say "Saved by a biscuit".
"Saved by a biscuit"?? You've got to be kiddin More...

I picked up this book at the library because the title was enticing and a sticker on the side promised me a mystery. However, the beginning half of the book was empty drivel about how the main character was afraid of this girl in her class, creeped out by the fact her mother might have been dating her teacher, and helplessly in love with some random guy. Completely cliche and absolutely nothing to do with the aforementioned blackmail. For about 50 pages after that the book heats up with the actu

What’s there to lose—something meaningful and both in real life or the story world—is real emotional depth… In You've Got Blackmail by Rachel Wright, you’ll experience fascinating events and face many problems the characters are facing in the story. The best part is that things happen after one and another. First is all this separation between fourteen year old Lozzie’s parent, which she has to worry and deal with at home. Then back in school, there’s more things to worry about. The big danger s

So this book is short, extremely short. It took me less than 2 hours to finish this book from start to finish. Maybe it was the huge font or the txt msg like wrds?
My biggest frustration for this book has to be the writing style. I felt that while I was reading this I was being sent back through time to when the 5th grade. I felt like screaming “We teens may still be quite young but that does not mean we cannot understand complete and coherent sentences!” It was like reading from 10 y More...

What a cute story and a fast read about Lozzie, a teenager dealing with her mom dating (yuck!), her dad living near the girl who has swore to kill her, a older sister, finding things under her bed, someone going through her room, a weird teacher and she discovers someone is blackmailing someone about something. Funny! It is fun to read from Lozzie's English point of view talking about her life and events.

I hated the reading style of this book because I felt like a young girl again while reading it. The point of it is a YOUNG ADULT book, and it is written like a children's.

Funny, quick read. Bridget Jones-esque with a small mystery. Really though, it's about Loz, her spasiness, and her awesome friends.

At first, when there were so many storylines going on at once, I thought it would just make the book better. But, I was wrong.

It wasn't what I was expecting. At all. It had it's funny moments and it was a quick read. I feel that it could have been better had it been a bit longer, though.
