Ann, not Annie, is tired of her nominal existence and has vowed to turn things around by dating the hottest guy in school, Jacob Waters. Easier said than done since Jacob isn’t even aware she exists. The truth is, due to Ann’s lively temper she spends more time in detention with the rest of the school rejects than she does fantasizing about Jacob Waters wearing spandex.
Her best friend and devout alien believer, Lisa, doesn’t like the changes she’s seeing in her BFF. Neither does Danny Feller, a fellow detention inmate and resident lost boy who has started keeping an extra watchful and unwanted eye on Ann.
When a chance encounter in an empty hallway changes everything, Ann finds all her dreams coming true and she is well on her way to living the perfect life she’s always wanted. But appearances aren’t always what they seem and Ann is going to have to face not just cold hard facts, but also her past.

MY THOUGHTS
“Thank you to Book Tasters and Sage Steadman for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review”.
Ann, not Annie is the story of a girl who is running away from reality by using her anger to shield her from people, thoughts and herself Until she met Danny who is eager to help her to enjoy the real teen life. But Ann has a new idea, which is to become Gf of too hot senior Jacob, who is clearly not a right choice.
On the other hand her life at home sucks, Her mother is an alcoholic who doesn’t care about her children’s life, elder brother broke all the strings from home and younger is so neglected.
Lisa is her best friend, but Ann’s dark nature doesn’t allow anyone to be near her, and Lisa is also going away from her day by day just due to her nature.
The story is not entirely new or different from other YA, But the writing her is good to hook you, and there are some cute illustrations also.
Our MC Ann is same stupid YA character who always first runs towards the wrong choice.CLICHE.But the worst character is her mother she is so annoying and selfish, I felt for Tommy who is the younger child and need more attention than anyone but he is neglected the most.
Overall it was an interesting read.
