Emily's other blog: Whimsy Books
There's a good chance you read the title of this book and had similar thoughts to mine...sounds like cheesy chick lit. Well, maybe it kind of is, but it is written well, and I found it thoroughly enjoyable. In fact, I read it in about a day.
I strongly recommend IT'S A MALL WORLD AFTER ALL if you like clean teen romances. Similar movie flicks would include A Cinderella Story, High School Musical...you know, the fun, innocent high-schoolish romances.
Charlotte, a tall-and-pretty klutz, works at the mall as a perfume spritzer for Bloomingdale's. From the entry of Bloomingdale's, she watches life at the mall, often spying on classmates. However, sometimes spying can get you into trouble. A funny series of events unfolds. I honestly laughed out loud, which I rarely do, while reading.
Besides being an active member of NHS (the National Honor Society), Charlotte loves to head up service projects, but being a klutz, something always goes wrong. During the course of the story, she finds a way to help disadvantaged kids for a Christmas project.
It is pretty obvious who Charlotte likes and how the story will end, but does that matter? Most chick flicks are predictable. That certainly doesn't stop me from loving them. If you don't like predictability, IT'S A MALL WORLD AFTER ALL may not be for you. However, if you love a quick-n-funny chick flick now and then, like I obviously do, read this one.

I just started this book two days ago and I can't put it down! I just finished reading "All's Fair in Love, War, and High School" and I absoulutely loved it! So the night I finished it I went to the book store and bought "It's a Mall World After All" becuase I was so impressed with her writing. These are my favorited books, no doubt!
I think it was absoutly hilarous!
It is sooo romantic! My heart was going to brust!
I think this is the greatest book i ever read. I keep reading this book over and over. Janette Rallison should make a its a mall world after all #2.
This has to be one of my favorite books ever
