The Lip Gloss Chronicles Book Club recommends The Oracle of Dating by Allison van Diepen

About the book:

For five bucks, the Oracle of Dating will tell you:

  • How to flirt
  • If that cute guy you’re crushing on likes you, too
  • Whether your new romance will last through lunch period
  • And much more

What she won’t tell you?  Who she is.

No one at Kayla’s school knows she’s the famous Oracle of Dating — the anonymous queen of dating advice.  She doesn’t even have a boyfriend.   Two relationship disasters were enough to make Kayla focus on everyone else’s love life.

But then her advice backfires on her own best friend.  And Kayla starts to seriously obsess about Jared Stewart — the very cute, very mysterious new guy in school.  Suddenly, the teen queen of advice needs her own oracle of dating — and she knows just where to find one…

What we liked: It only took a few hours to read. Although Kayla’s website  says “for entertainment purposes only,” for a low price, a teen can get great advice from a self proclaimed dating guru.  Of course, people are not aware of her secret life.   Jared is Kayla’s love interest.  Her feelings for Jared is best described as sweet.  The quirky teenager has to take some of her own advice.  The Oracle of Dating  is a teen romantic comedy filled with some realistic good advice for teens.

What we didn’t like: Sometimes it seems as if some of the dating issues were a little too grown up; but times have changed.

Lesson Learned: It’s easier to give out advice, than take your own.

Overall review: The Oracle of Dating is a quick fun read with a witty lead character.  ~ The Lip Gloss Chronicles Book Club Reviewer
