The Book of Luke Overviews
From the bestselling author of Plan B comes a funny and touching new novel about a girl, a boy, and a notebook that could ruin everything.
Emily Abbott has always been considered the Girl Most Likely to Be Nice -- but lately being nice hasn't done her any good. Her parents have decided to move the family from Chicago back to their hometown of Boston in the middle of Emily's senior year. Only Emily's first real boyfriend, Sean, is in Chicago, and so is her shot at class valedictorian and early admission to the Ivy League. What's a nice girl to do?
Then Sean dumps Emily on moving day and her father announces he's staying behind in Chicago "to tie up loose ends," and Emily decides that what a nice girl needs to do is to stop being nice.
She reconnects with her best friends in Boston, Josie and Lucy, only to discover that they too have been on the receiving end of some glaring Guy Don'ts. So when the girls have to come up with something to put in the senior class time capsule, they know exactly what to do. They'll create a not-so-nice reference guide for future generations of guys -- an instruction book that teaches them the right way to treat girls.
But when her friends draft Emily to test out their tips on Luke Preston -- the hottest, most popular guy in school, who just broke up with Josie by email -- Emily soon finds that Luke is the trickiest of test subjects . . . and that even a nice girl like Emily has a few things to learn about love.

The Book of Luke CustomerReview
I put off buying this book for so long, when I finally bought it and read it, I wonder how I let myself do so! Emily is a character that all girls can relate to. Her boyfriend breaks up with her, she struggles moving back to her hometown without her father. The only thing girls would not dare to do that Emily has done, is create a guy's guide... to Luke.
Jenny O'Connell makes the character of Emily and Luke so appealing that you can't help but root for the two even through all of their stupid mistakes. The Book of Luke is a sweet, flirty read for teenagers. You can't help but smile at some of the things Luke does!
The only reasons I gave the book 4 stars out of 5 is the fact that this book was in need of a better editor. The graduating year changes about 3 times in the story, once being in the 1000's rather than 2000's. The other reason was the the ending could have been better, but I won't complain about that. Otherwise, the book would have gotten 5 stars from me!
