I don't know what to say about this book except: AWESOME!!! Celia is so my girl! She's Dark because she's trying to protect herself from pain. Her parents have recently undergone a "trial separation", her former best friend was pulled out of school and off the map, and there was an incident in middle school which made her question everything. Because of all these things she's learned to write poetry and really it's been the thing to save her... until Drake. Drake coming to Hershey, PA was the best thing for Celia. It brought happiness into her life.

I thought it was awesome the way even though Celia wore these shields, she was really very vulnerable and confused. She didn't want to face up to the fact that her parents were divorcing. She didn't want to face the fact that deep down she really did care what people thought about her. Oh yeah and did I mention this book has MEAN GIRLS!! I love mean girls... well not really, but I love it when books have them in there.

I adored all the poems in the book. I feel like modern poetry is not something that many teens are exposed to and also that when you read published poems they either seem unattainable or silly. Celia shows us that anyone can write a poem and it can be beautiful. But not just poems, I think it shows people to look for that creative outlet for their feelings and how that can be therapeutic.

The only thing I didn't love was the big secret from middle school that Celia was keeping. I thought it was going to be something really HUGE, but it wasn't. But I was ok with that. It was the journey to getting to that secret that I loved.

Overall: I highly recommend. If you like unique characters like Ruby from The Boyfriend List, you'll love Celia!! It's an awesome book about bullying, dealing with life, and above all friendship.

Convencida de que jamás encajará en su escuela, Celia se ha vuelto Dark. En su nueva piel, está decidida a cobrar venganza por todo lo que le hizo Sandy, la más popular chica de su generación. La Dark comienza a cuestionar sus planes tras conocer a Drake, quien se ha convertido en la luz de su oscura vida. La amistad que entablan, auténtica y a prueba de balas, le permitirá ver el mundo desde otra perspectiva.
¿Qué será más dulce? ¿La mejor venganza o la más plena amistad?

This was so interesting as it was written in 2 hour increments by so many authors who wrote in a public setting one after the other. I wanted to write a chapter, too. More of a read for how a book could be a collective writing and for the experience.

Teen fiction; high school drama. Now you can relive the pain of highschool all over again! But seriously, a solid cast of "misfits" and a well-told story of revenge, friendship, and mean girls (and guy). Tackles some familiar themes (bullying, being gay/coming out) and includes some poetry, but thankfully isn't exclusively written in bad poetry, like some other teen fic I can think of (and Celia's poetry is fairly good, actually).
