Annabel Greene is living the life! She’s a model, has tons of friends .. and that’s almost one hundred per cent false. She has an older sister named Whitney, who has a horrible eating disorder. Annabel’s other sister, Kristen, left for work. She is left alone to deal with her sister. She has no one to talk to – until she meets Owen. He helps Annabel out with all of her problems and her lies. He helps her to speak out and tell the truth to her mom about how she hates modeling. The only one standing in her way is her ex-best friend, Sophie.

This is a pretty good book. It just took me a couple of tries to get it started. After I did, it got so interesting. The author blends in Annabel’s stress, anger, love, hate, and loneliness into a very interesting story. [Mo_143]

Three Black Swans

Missy, the main character, has a cousin – or so she thinks. They are both suspicious that they might be twin sisters, considering some actions of the parents. Then there is a situation with an online video. They’re under the impression that one of the viewers is also part of their family. That means they could be triplets! I really liked this book. It was so interesting the way the author wrote the story. With all of the questions and suspense, it made me want to keep on reading to see what happened next. Probably, the most interesting part is the end. I can’t tell it because if someone else reads this book, it would ruin it for them. [X]

This story is about three girls who have their ups and downs, dealing with gossip, boys, parents and teachers. They are girls just having fun. I liked this book very much. It related a little bit to my everyday life and could help me. I felt like this book catches the image of real teenagers’ lives. It explained how friends deal with breaking up and getting back together. [???]

What if you came to school one day and someone was missing? Someone you cared about, like your friend, crush, or student? And what if they never came back? That is just what happened to Clay Jensen. His long time crush, Hannah Baker, killed herself, but that wasn’t the end of her. She left behind thirteen tapes, reasons why she killed herself. Everyone who contributed to her decision got a tape, explaining how they helped. So when Clay receives the tapes on his doorstep, he is baffled. But the rules of the tapes say you must listen to all of them, so that is what he does. He hears each and every story and visits the places on the map she left as he tries to figure out what he did. He wanted to be someone Hannah could trust with her problems, not be a problem himself. By the time he reaches his own tape he despises pretty much everyone else, and he isn’t sure if he will be any different. He didn’t do anything, right? Maybe that was the worst thing he could have done.

I loved this book even more than usual! Although it was sad, it seemed like it could happen to anybody. I didn’t particularly like any characters, because they all helped end Hannah’s life in one way or another, but I didn’t like Clay the least. My favorite scene was when Clay listened to this tape, because it was very bittersweet. Boys and girls would like this book, and it was VERY suspenseful! It reminded me of the song “How to Save a Life” by The Fray. [trh99]

Someone Like You

Scarlett’s boyfriend just died, and they had just admitted that they loved each other. Her best friend comes home from camp to comfort her and meets Macon. She starts to fall for him. Is he worth getting grounded for sneaking around? They are faced with an even bigger problem: Scarlett is pregnant. What will they do?

I loved this book! It really shows the main character’s feelings about her life, and makes it feel like I’m in the story by the way the character narrates the story. If you like books that are about real-life situations, you should definitely get this book. [dizidiv]

Three angels, Bethany, Ivy and Gabriel, are sent to Venus Cove, a sleepy beachside town. Their mission is to protect the town from the rising forces of darkness. What isn’t part of their mission is Bethany falling in love with a human …

This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I only read a few pages and became completely absorbed in the book. Gabriel is my favorite character because he’s a really caring older brother. There are a few religious aspects of the book, but nothing too heavy. If anything I think it improves the story.
