My Life Undecided

My Life UndecidedMy Life Undecided by Jessica Brody

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I found myself thoroughly engaged in the story of Brooklyn Pierce, the girl who fell down an abandoned mine shaft at two years old, and felt herself “decision challenged” from that point on. Certainly the beginning of the book makes you wonder about her decision making as she is being “lowered into the backseat of a squad car” because she is deemed responsible for burning down a model home.

It is at this point in her life she decides that maybe she has “poor judgment” in her DNA, and that she has to do something about it. She decides that she will not make decisions anymore. She will leave decision making for her life to followers of her new blog My Life Undecided. It is the blog followers that help Brooklyn to try things she has never tried before like rugby and debate. The blog followers are also directing her romantic life as she tries to decide between two handsome, but decidedly different boys that come into her life. As you can tell, the premise is unique and fun. The characters were believable and engaging. I think My Life Undecided should be a real hit for middle school and older girls who love books with a little romantic interest.
