I really liked this book! It is about this girl, Lily Blennerhasset, who enters the eight grade. She develops this major crush for this boy named Colter Hendricks. Although whenever she sees him she can't speak or breathe, she is determined to make him realize that she is the right girl for him. She also gets this AMAZING opportunity to be an assistant to a real writer Ellis Parson. Without knowing the Ellis Parson was Colter's mother, Lily B runs into him and makes a complete fool of herself! A...more
Lily B. is back . . . and she's on the Brink of Love! Twenty feet may not seem that high to you. But go outside, find a big rock, measure twenty feet up, then picture The Boy Who Is the Center of Your Universe clinging to that place, looking resplendent in climbing shoes. Then you'll know what I mean.
Favorite Line from book:
"He's on belay," Bonnie said. "If he falls, he'll just hang there until he can get himself back on the rock again."
If only love co...more

Kimmel creates a character every teenage girl can relate to. Falling for the new kid is never easy. Trying to get him to notice you is even harder. Lily B. shows young girls there is life after heartache. This book can be challenging read for children under the age twelve. Fortunately Kimmel has provided glossary in the back of the book for words that be hard to define or understand. This makes for a great book for advancing readers and enforces new words for students to learn.
After the amazing "Lily B. on the Brink of Cool" I was very eager to read this. However, it proved to be a big disappointment. Lily went from being a hilarious, original, and believable character to the all-to-common teenage girl stereotype, aka one who thinks about nothing but "boys, boys, boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
That said, the book wasn't all bad. I liked Bonnie's character, and there were several amusing parts. But I have to say it was the low point of t...more

This was a really good book. There is a girl named Lily who gets a job to be a assistant of a famous writer. So she just runs arrans for her and does little things like that. But she meets this boy who she sees and falls in love with him. But then on her first day at work she meets him at the house and then finds out he is the writers son. But then at the end of the story she finds out who she really knows is the right guy for her. This is a good book for girls 11 - 14. but again that is a guess...more
It was a cute book! I liked it how you weren't expecting the end and the main question was is the Boy for her or not? It was short and sweet and an easy read for girls... or boys to enjoy as it is a humerous and romantic book in the one!
Lily has managed to get a column in the school paper and now has landed a real job with a real writer--how amazing is that. But in the midst of all this she spots a new boy who is definitely "The Boy" and she is in "love."
I enjoyed this book when I was younger, and it's still really cute. Not something I'd generally remember for the rest of my life, but at the time I'd read this, I have to say it inspired me into writing, where I am right now. :)
this was an ok book. i felt that it was a catching story but it wasnt awesome. The character Lily plays in the book is really cool, with the personality of sparkly, and spritefulness. a nice book.
This book is kind of about relation ship stuff and crushes. It's not my kind of book but it's okay and hey you should try it maybe you would like it.
I loved this book soooo much becuase I really want to become a writer and he does to. So that inspired me to keep on going and beliving. XD
this book is so funny and its great for the girls that go through the same situations.
I liked the way the story ended up and how things flowed throughout the book!
This book was great, too, but definitely not as good as the 1st one.
Not as good as the first, but still very good.
she must really fall head over heals over boys!
awful!!! such a disappointment coming after Lily B. on the brink of cool!
I kinda liked it I guess

marked it as to-read
wanna read itttt
It's okay...
Tackles the unrequited middle-school crush with sympathy & humor. Lily is a very likable character, & the vocabulary & writing style are fantastic.
Lily is now in the eighth grade and after a summer with the LeBlancs she now has to face another challenge: love.
Enter New Paltz Colter Hendricks. A ninth-grader and a killer rock climber. Now she can barely speak around him. No prob.With the help of her best friend Charlotte and her friend Bonnie, Lily may win over Colter.
