Zodiac Girls Discount Diva is an excellent read. The story revolves around Tori a teenage girl with wealthy friends, yet does not have a lot of money herself. But when Tori visits a website that announces that she is the month’s Zodiac Girl her life changes. She meets Nessa her guardian for the month who in turn introduces her to the other ‘planets’. Tori receives bad luck and good and at the end of the story you know that being a Zodiac Girl changed her for the better.

I enjoyed reading this book because it captures your attention from the first page. The story is both interesting and intriguing as when you anticipate something bad happening everything changes. The characters are realistic and you can understand why Tori feels like she does about her family’s lack of wealth.

This book is not only a page-turner, which draws you in to the characters emotions but is also a fantastic story to sit and devour all at once.

I also enjoyed this book as I found it quick, easy and fun to read I got through the book in 2 days, which is a very good time for me. I really loved the story line and I thought its main message was that your friends are your friends because of who you are, not because of what you have or own.

I liked the involvement of the horoscopes as many girls around the teenage age read and believe their horoscopes. I certainly do. I liked the fact Tori was given a chance to let her friends discover the real her and I also liked the fact that Tori was given a chance to be like everyone else and be looked after by the planets.

I thought that this book was a really good read. I especially enjoyed the idea of the planets being on Earth in human form.
