The Oyster's Autobiography is a short and sweet novel about experiencing situations outside of your comfort zone and first love. How could I resist the hilarious-heart-warming novel?

Mabs is extremely shy and not outgoing at all. She has one friend, and when that one friend goes away on a trip, she leaves Mabs with a list of things that Mabs should try out. Why would Mabs do all these tasks? Well, her best friend is prepared to send out a love poem stolen from Mabs' diary to her long-ti ...more

The Oyster’s Autobiography is a super cute read about stepping outside of your comfort zone and about finding yourself. Mabs is a girl that is happy with her quiet simple life. She has school, and she has her best friend. But when her best friend leaves to do a study abroad exchange semester, Mabs is left all by herself. Her best friend knows Mabs well and she doesn’t want her to sit around by herself the whole semester, so she created a list of things she wants Mabs to accomplish before she get The Oyster’s Autobiography is a super cute read about stepping outside of your comfort zone and about finding yourself. Mabs is a girl that is happy with her quiet simple life. She has school, and she has her best friend. But when her best friend leaves to do a study abroad exchange semester, Mabs is left all by herself. Her best friend knows Mabs well and she doesn’t want her to sit around by herself the whole semester, so she created a list of things she wants Mabs to accomplish before she gets back in 3 months. And what if Mabs doesn’t? Well, then Mabs super secret crush “Rob Eno” will be sent a very secret love letter and his identity will be revealed. Blackmailed into stepping outside of her comfort zone, Mabs big adventure begins.

I loved that Olivia cared about her friend enough and knew her well enough to make sure that she wasn’t miserable while she was gone. Not all of the things that were on her list were things that Mabs was going to love, but that’s ok. The real point of the list was for Mabs to get out there and do something. I loved Mabs. She was shy and reluctant a lot of the time, but she is funny and sweet and you can’t help but root for her. I had a feeling I knew the mystery of Rob Eno for a while, but I never did actual crack Mabs code, I just had a gut feeling that turned out to be right. Mabs does a bit of dragging her feet at the start, but once she recruits Patrick- her brothers best friend, she really starts checking off some items. I loved that Patrick was willing to help Mabs. And along the way, Mabs made new friends, and even started a budding relationship. All in all, The Oyster’s Autobiography is an adorable read. You will have a blast along side of Mabs, watching her come out of her shell.

All of the secondary characters were great as well. Her new friends were cool, and even her brother, his best friend Patrick and their friends all played decent roles. If you are looking for a cute summer read that will put a smile on your face, pick up The Oyster’s Autobiography. Plus, this book really makes me want to yarn bomb a fence! I had never heard of that before but it seems so cool! ...more
