I have to admit at first this book infuriated me. Not so much the book as Stella. I have a bit of a hard time with selfish, disinterested, absent mothers. However, this book had a wonderful and realistic story of a 14-year-old girl not only finding her way and her family, but Stella also cane around to finding what her daughter had really needed from her all along—her mother. This story was a nice Sunday read and I’d definitely recommend it.

An interesting book regarding mothers and daughters. I did read the book in one sitting. Thank you to netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for the honest review.

I received My Virtual Life as an ARC from NetGalley. Tara is a freshman in high school and chronicles her life in a blog. This book was written in the style of a modern day Bridget Jones' Diary. It was a quick read and I found it entertaining. Tara's blog focuses on dealing with her single mom and feeling like an outsider at school.

Stopped reading at about 20% in.

Unfortunately, the plot and characters just didn’t draw me in enough for me to keep reading. I thought I would enjoy this book based on the synopsis, but I just didn’t.

My Virtual Life is a book i could relate to. As someone who had a difficult relationship with my mother, I felt like I could easily relate. It was emotional & thought provoking to read their different perspectives; a great read!

At first it was tough to like Stella as she seemed only to care about herself at the detriment of her child. But once she admitted how much she cared for her child and Tara was the best part of her, I warmed up immediately. All women in the book had great hearts.
