2010 book 167

Heather McElhatton's Million Little Mistakes
McElhatton's Pretty Little Mistakes--a choose-your-own-adventure book for adults--was one of my favorite books of 2007, so I was super excited to snatch an advance copy of her new one at ALA. In this companion book, the protagonist wins millions in the lottery--which paths will you choose to see what happens next? I followed all the possible storylines, which involve everything from tropical islands to salvage ships to George Clooney to conservation classes, and as with the first one, enjoyed every moment. More than one ending made my eyes well up a little, which my childhood CYOAs certainly didn't. I don't know why these books aren't more popular, b/c they're so much fun. A.
