Please Ignore Vera Dietz is a book by A.S. King about a pizza-delivering high-school senior named Vera whose best friend Charlie is dead. The story jumps around in time covering the nine months after he died along with their lives up…

Vera Dietz is smart, hard-working, and haunted by the ghost of her best friend. Well...ex-best friend if you want to know the truth. Vera had a falling out with Charlie, then five months later Charlie has a falling out with life. No one…

I was really taken with this book! The characters were practically alive; I laughed and my eyes teared up at points. I would recommend this book to readers who liked Looking for Alaska (John Green) and We Were Liars (e. lockhart).

I'm really enjoying A.S. King. Just want to put that out there right up front. This is the third book of her's I've read and the third 5 star review I've given her. Each of her books has been very different so far and just the right amount…

Super quick read and well worth the time. I really liked the characters, they seemed both real and dealing with real things. Just wish there would have been a little justice for one.

Great story. I agree it's a page turner. I was hooked after the first page. Mature subject matter? Yes and language, but I think it is in keeping with the characters' personalities.It is, at times, funny, sad and haunting.
