Editorial Review:
On the surface, 17-year-old Alex has it made; she is beautiful and smart. Plus, she's best friends with M., the absolute most popular girl in school. Feeling bored with their fancy Orange County suburban town, Alex and M. decide to check out L.A.'s glitzy nightlife scene.Pretending to be 19, Alex and M. meet Trevor and Connor, two rich older guys. At first, Alex can't believe her luck--she gets to hang out at hip Hollywood houseparties and downtown L.A. clubs. These weekend trips into the city become the perfect distraction for Alex, who is secretly struggling with her failing senior year grades, her absentee father, and her clueless mom. But, after the initial fun wears off for Alex, she is forced to reevaluate her friendship with M., who is hiding some secrets beneath her perfect Burberry-clad exterior...

Rating:  - Amazing, she did it again
Alyson Noel is one of my fave authors and faking 19 is no exception to awesome novelist skills. And I actually stole the nickname M and call my little sis that. I don't want to give too much away but this book is full of teen relbellion, rule breaking, teen romance, and fun. A good summer read.
Rating:  - Another Great Story from Alyson Noel
Everyone knows what senior year means: it's party time!
At least, that's what it's like for best friends Alex and M. During the week, they do their schoolwork, but on the weekends, they let loose and get wild. After their traditional weekend snack, they go shopping or to whatever party sounds interesting. And everything seems to be going great, until the seams in Alex's life start fraying.
Despite giving off the appearance that her life is perfect, Alex's life is far from ... Read More
Rating: - The Inside Look on Faking Nineteen
Have you ever tried to look a little older than you really are? Well, your not alone. In the story Faking Nineteen by Alyson Noel, a young girl named Alex certainly does the same. But she does it for all the wrong reasons. Alex and her best friend M get themselves tangled up in a web of lies that leads to some serious trouble. This book takes place mostly in the central part of California. The theme of this book is lies because the story is all about what kind of mess you can get yourself in ... Read More
Rating: - Something Special
Faking 19 is a relatively predictable teenaged novel. It fallows the lives of two girls living in the current hot spot-- California. They seem to be polor opposites- rich/poor, blonde/brunette, etc, but they are best friends. As the plot unravels, we learn that the rich girl (M) is not as lucky as her poor friend Alex assumes. The ending is predictable and unexciting, and the characters relatively shallow, but something about this book makes you want to finish reading it.
Rating: - Review by Julia
Faking 19 isn't just a shallow book about some messed up teenagers life. This book really goes to and captures real life experiences that happen to teens. Alyson Noel really knew what being a teen is about and how it works and what goes on with us between friends and ones own head. Alex and M have great lives and our great friends. But for real?
Alex has the life any teen would want. A popular best friend, she has skills that lead her to straight A's and she's great looking too. But as ... Read More
