10 Things We Did (and probably shouldn't have) by Sarah Mlynowski

2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house – parents = 10 things April and her friends did that they (definitely, maybe, probably) shouldn't have.
If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe "opportunity" isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: "Lied to Our Parents"). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up "Skipping School" (#3), "Throwing a Crazy Party" (#8), "Buying a Hot Tub" (#4), and, um, "Harboring a Fugitive" (#7) at all is kind of a mystery to them.
In this hilarious and bittersweet tale, Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind of a girl on her own for the first time. To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart . . . one thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time.

The main character April acts like a very immature senior in high school as well as her friend Vi who's a year older than her and in college. April to me is more like a 15 year old rather than a senior. The whole situation with Noah was clear as glass you could tell he just wasn't ready for a commit in a relationship in the first place. I found Mylnowski's novel to be a little fast paced. The plot didn't have enough descriptions that's why I found it hard to read this novel without wondering how that began with. This novel is made for reading when your bored or when you have spare time. I don't really recommend this for anyone. I rather tell truth's then lies and this is the truth on how I feel about this book.
