Keep. If it were just the award then the notability might be shaky since I'm not certain how big this award really is. Most awards aren't, regardless of how long they've been running. At most they can contribute towards notability but not give absolute notability. Luckily I was able to dig up some reviews for the book from various places such as some peer reviewed journals. Altogether I think that there's just enough to merit a keep. I'm actually a little surprised at how hard it was to find some of these sources given how much coverage the author herself has received.

Keep per Tokyogirl79. Perhaps not the author's most notable work, but notable enough. For the record, I found another brief review at Publishers Weekly[1]; and GNews also turns up a couple of suggestive paywalled snippets: a review in March 22, 2009 Denver Post, and a December 31, 2009 New York Post article that appears to make a connection between this book and a TV series called "What I Hate About Me". --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:38, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
