A review by meghans_books
Withering Tights by Louise Rennison
2.0
Fourteen-year-old Tallulah goes to an arts college over the summer to get out of camping with her little brother. When she gets there, she discovers that she really enjoys the atmosphere, the friends she's made, the boys she's met, and even performing (just a little bit). She doesn't want to leave. Due to her clumsiness and lack of talent, Tallulah fears that she will get cut from the program and will not be invited back in the fall to continue her arts education.
The story is lighthearted and isn't at all what I expected. Well, sort of. Who doesn't expect a few misadventures from the quirky cousin of Georgia Nicolson?
If you've read the Nicolson series, you might enjoy this book. I read Rennison's previous series when I was 14 and when I picked up this book, I forgot that I wasn't that age anymore. The book is definitely written towards younger teens and I found myself disappointed in the lack of maturity of the characters. I guess when I was wrapped up in reading, I forgot that they were supposed to be younger than myself.
