*** 5 Stars
This is the second time I have read this book and I cannot say enough how absolutely fantastic it is. It's unique format, irresistable characters and constant humor make it one of the best books I've ever read.
The Year of Secret Assignments refers to the writings of three best friends, AND the documents that make up the pages of this book. Moriarty writes all her books(which are all fantastic by the way) in entriely letters, diary entries, notes, etc. This one in particular follows Emily, Cassie and Lydia, three 10th grade students(in Australia), who are forced to write letters to students at a neighboring school. Emily writes to Charlie and Lydia to Seb, however Cassie's new "friend" may not exist at all. This correspondence leads to friendship and mystery, as the girls try to figure out the true identity of Cassie's "penfriend" at Brookfield High as well as coping with school, friends, dating and life.
This book is hilarious, unique and full of real life and love. It is adorable and memorable and clearly great, seeing as I read it twice.
**I'd also recommend The Murder of Bindy Mackenzie and Feeling Sorry for Celia (both by Moriarty)
Thank you both very much. How did you find me?
