  4. First of all, thanks for the shout out! I appreciate it!
    Secondly, I totally named Lyddie as most authentic, too! And I couldn't quite describe what quality it was about her blog that reads as so "real" but you've just absolutely hit the nail-on-the-head. It's like watching a smart, funny tv show with voice over narration by a clever heroine.
