Katie's Reviews > When Lightning Strikes

In late elementary school going into middle school, Meg Cabot (writing under the pen name of Jenny Carroll here) was my FAVORITE author. I devoured her books, reread them over and over, this book included. I think the majority of her books, particularly her early-mid 2000s releases, are very much geared toward that age range. The way it's written in a very conversational, diary-style format, the way the main character makes sexual references without really making sexual references, and the quick pace of the plot certainly mean I have outgrown this book. None of those things are to my taste anymore. I will always remember it fondly for the entertainment I got in my early teenage years, but 20 years after its release, this is no longer really the book for me.
