Again, this was a book I just pulled off the library shelves because I needed a book to read. I'm beginning to think I should do it more often. I'm finding some great books that way. Anyway, I'd seen this one a number of times, and Maureen Johnson's a good writer. I couldn't really turn it down (when I didn't have any other books in my hands).

Jane's your average genius stuck in a horrifying Catholic school that's run by some very scary nuns. She's best friends with a girl named Allison who feels she's not good enough and Jane recently broke up with her boyfriend of 7 months. When Allison starts acting differently after an embarrassing situation, Jane tries to find out what's going on. A freshman from a neighboring school helps her find out Allison sold her soul to the devil. Jane will do whatever it takes to save Allison.

There was some humor in here I thought was great. I particularly fell in love with Owen. He's just the sweetest. This is one of those books I could see her coming out with a sequel to sometime. There are loose ends she could potentially tie up somewhere down the road, like she's doing with 13 Little Blue Envelopes now.
