A lovely story of first love where all is not as it seems. The protagonist had the courage to question circumstances, even if this was at the price of losing valuable friendships. A great book for YA

One Week of You follows the story of Lizzie, who is a freshman in high school. Lizzie feels incredibly guilty that she lets her parents down because she’s been boy crazy over, Andy Masters, the most popular guy in school. As a result, it’s caused a strain on her friendships and family on top of forgetting important events/to-do’s. She’s kind-hearted and smart, but on the downside she’s very irresponsible.

The novel is a coming of age story because Lizzie is going through a transition in her life. She starts to realize who her true friends are and comes to a realization that she’s been judging others unfairly. She also sees that she’s been so obsessed with Andy, that she’s neglected many important people and things in her life and it’s leading her astray.

The novel portrays the ups and downs of high school deals with bullying, school, friendship, crushes and staying true to yourself in the middle of everything. Lizzy is super irresponsible about a lot of thing, but being pushed into a crossroads to tell the truth as the pranks at school keep escalating makes her become more responsible. I appreciate that she took initiative to do right thing after messing up.

Though this novel is cliché at some points and is sometimes predictable, but it has a lot of important messages about growing up and doing the right thing. ( )

This book is more like a YA which is a genre that I don't read much. Lizzy is a hardworking Freshman longing to be a doctor. This all changes when she meets the most popular boy at school and loses her mind with deadlines, homework and responsibilities. It is a cute story but a lot happens to her in one week that is hard to believe. I appreciate the copy!

This book just wasn't for me. The writing was okay, but the story and the characters didn't pull me in. It might be one of those YA novels that don't appeal to adults. ( )

This is a good, entertaining book for young adults as they follow the story of a girl named Lizzie who falls for popular Andy. It details the lengths she will go to for her crush through some seriousness and some humor. Teens will identify with the themes present in this book: a first crush, school life, and the trials and tribulations of adolescence. ( )

One Week of You introduces Lizzy, a Freshman cheerleader who wants to be a doctor. Lizzy has always been nerdy, but she is trying to fit in with other crowds, too. A new student, Andy, has caught her eye, and Lizzy seems to become even more forgetful than normal due to Andy's attention to her. Are his feelings even real? It is April Fool's week at school. Tensions at school, as well as tensions at home, make this week a very trying time for Lizzy. How will she handle things? Does Andy really like her? Read One Week of You to find out!

Even though I found Lizzy and her family and friends relatable, there were just some parts of the novel where I felt the story line lacked gusto; it was slow in parts. Overall, I think students in my school would like this book. ( )

I really enjoyed One Week of You. I thought Lizzie was a really relatable character, both with her outlook on life and how she reacts to situations. It was a really engaging and pretty quick read, and I thoroughly recommend it! Also having to take care of a flour baby was something I wanted to do but didn't take the right class for, and my school had mechanical babies anyway, so I loved that part of the story line! Lizzie has a lot of heart and learns a lot in a short time, flour babies and all! ( )

I really enjoyed "One Week of You" by Lisa Williams Kline. What a wonderful view to the trials and angst of being a teenager and all the thoughts and feelings flooding our minds and bodies at that time. I thought the author did a wonderful job developing the characters and story line and it really kept my attention and had me thoroughly entertained from the first page to the last.
Great read for young adults or those of us wanting a relive a time in our youth.
Happy Reading...enjoy! ( )

Something about this book really drew me in and I wanted to keep reading. It flowed easily and I liked that it was all within one week. Nothing about the book struck me as terribly unrealistic, although I almost wish there had been more of the interactions with Lizzy's parents. I felt like the family situations of all of the main characters would have added something. It would have been nice to see more of this, if even amongst character dialogue. ( )

This book certainly makes a lot of sense and is funny for US teens. To me, it wasn't very funny, but it was an option to have a look into the live of a US teenager at a high school. ( )

This is acute read that will be enjoyed by teens struggling with all the emotions and problems associated with high school life. Freshman Lizzy Winston sees her ordered life upended when she meets the new boy, Andy. He is a dynamo and very, very cute! When she begins to follow through on the things Andy asks her to do, her week begins to fall apart. She forgets important things that impact her and others. But, it is rather fun for Lizzy to depart from her steady norm and jump into murky waters!
High schoolers with confusing daily lives will certainly love the adventures and trials of Lizzy over the course of one week out of her life. ( )
