Life by Committee

Hmm, there was a lot I dug about this, especially the depictions of the private, intimate nature of online chat secrets. I thought the “Life by Committee” concept was interesting, and I liked Tabitha's depictions of how it made her feel to have strangers cheering her on, even when she didn't necessarily want to do the things they were encouraging her to do.

The IRL aspects seemed less well-defined than the online ones.

Still, it was a page-turner, and I think a lot of teens will really like the online romance aspect. Not necessarily tween-friendly–drugs & non-explicit sex.
