The Secret Life Of a Teenage Siren by Wendy Toliver
Time: 6:22 AM

Roxy, the main character, is a 'band geek' and gets transformed into a Siren on her 16th birthday.This book covers a very predictable plot prominent in many chick flicks and chick lit: namely, girl is not popular- girl undergoes transformation- becomes popular- neglects friends- something bad happens- goes to beg friend's frogiveness- girl is reconciled with best friend again or girl realises close friend who is boy is THE ONE for her- they get together and live happily ever after. I must admit, the part about 'live happily ever after' was just an extra bit i added in. But despite its high predictability, it does have a redeeming quality-humour. Some scenes do bring out irony and laughter from the reader. This book, like most chick lit, is light hearted reading and best read when one is realaxing by the poolside or simply not paying attention to the droning of the teacher's voice during a particularly boring lecture.
Verdict: Typical Chick Lit. Leisure reading. So-So.
