If I Tell

"If I Tell"

 

If you knew a secret that could ruin your mother's life would you tell her?

Jaz struggles with a dark secret about her best firend and her mother's boy-friend. This book wasn't my fav. because the whole book is just about one secret and a crappy romance. The endding wasnt mind-blowing, neither was the rest of the book. I wouldnt say dont read it just dont expect a wonderful book here. The only thing that keep me reading was Jaz and her feelings. The way she tells them is very intersting.

I feel that the back of the book doesnt do the book jusitice at all. One secret, to many words, not a good theme.

"Before I Fall"

By: Lauren Oliver

If you had to re-live one day of your life for a week, which would it be? For Sam she re-lived her last day of her life 7 times, each time ending differently. Her last day was Feb. 12th, or some might call it Cupid Day, yes a very fun hearted holiday where her and her best friends Ally, Eldoy, and Lindsay dress a like and get roses. The more roses you have the more popular you are. 

Juliet wasn't popular. No she wasn't mean or disturbed, but she had a reputation. A reputation that she didn't deserve. She was called "Psycho”. Sam's best friend Lindsay made up that name. Clever. Right? Well years and years of bullying do something to you, it makes you feel unwanted and horrible.

On Sam's Last day she is determined to get it right. She wants to save everybody, her, Kent, Lindsay,Eldoy,Ally, and even Juliet. Yes one girls suicide will change Feb. 12th for everybody.

Sam, Ally, Lindsay, Elody are all to blame they all set the track for the train thats going to crush someone, the question is who will be under it and who will watch?

Perfect

"Perfect"

Ellen Hopkins

After reading "Impulse" I truly couldn't get enough. I couldn't just let the characters slip away, not like that. I tried to hang on to this book as long as possible, but all things must come to an end, right? Connor felt he could never measure up to his parents expectations, feeling this way almost all the time did quite the number on his mind and in his heart. Cara is or was his twin. In Impulse you only hear Connor side to her, you only hear what he tells you. But in Perfect you meet this "Perfect" twin. and she isn't so perfect after all. Cara has to deal with her parents crazy high expectations along with a love for the same sex. She never wanted to believe it, she wanted the feelings,but they weren't  to go away. She never knew she could love like the way she loves Dani.

  But Sean her ex wont give up the best thing of his life, not to a guy or to a girl. Wanting to talk and smooth everything over wont save their relationship. But Sean isn't laying off the "roids" making him feel a little to pumped a little to anger. Snapping some pics for facebook wont do any good if a girl doesn't have any friends. For Sean, he planned his whole future around Cara, and now that he lost her what will he do?

  Kendra was deep in love with Connor, or maybe it was lust that she fell for. But now that she cant see him, or talk to her she craves nothing in the food groups. Nothing will make her happy that has to do with her eating. She wants to be a model, and being skinny is the name of the game. right? Well being 5'10 and weighing like 100 pounds shouldn't be. Kendra wants to be a model so bad counting each and every calorie is part of her everyday life. Kendra struggles with abuse, but you wont find out what kind till the end. Her secrets are deep enbedded in her thin skin. "Pretty isn't good enough" Once that cruel miror says so, she believes it in a heart beat. Trying to fix anything and everything is smiply impossible. The little bump on her nose, is something she is dieing to get off. just because its an imperfection. Will she fix everything, or just be to blind to see whats actually making her imperfect

  there is one more character in this book, a boyfriend of Kendra's sister Jenna. He wants to dance, to be a dancer. But daddy wont agree, more like daddy doesnt know. His love for Jenna is a one sided relationship. Jenna cant love someone, maybe its because she doesnt know how or being left behind was to hard to deal with she promisesd she would never love so she would never hurt. He ties knots together and all together made the book more complete.

Saving Zoe

"Saving Zoe"
The only thing that Echo wants is to feel close to the sister that she lost almost a year ago. When Zoe's (ex)boyfriend shows up with Zoe's journal, everything that Echo thought she knew about her sister wasn't all that true. Echo starts to uncover deep and dark secrets about her sister, secrets Zoe tried so hard to hide. I really enjoyed the over all book, I think Allyson Noel is a very talent writer and I will hopefully read some more of her work in the future. Saving Zoe is a must read, it really brought me closer to my sister.

Where She Went

"Where She Went."
I really enjoyed "If I Stay" the first on to this novel, but after reading this one, I'am totally in love with this book. I loved how it's from Adams point of view, so you get both Mia and Adams sides of the story.I was really happy the way the book ended, no questions were roaming my head. I would recommend this book to anybody and everyone. The whole time reading I could see what Adam was going through and how he was feeling. I'm all for paranormal and powerful novels, but I enjoy a good love story every now and then.

If I Stay

"If I Stay."

Can you imagine loosing your whole family in one car crash. This one car crash would and will change your life no matter what. What would you do, would you stay with the man you are so deeply in love with, or would you go with your family and not get left behind? I'm sure Mia never expected that she would have to choose. I truly love the way Gayle Forman wrote this novel.

Want To Go Private?

As you peel back the pages of this book you understand the question everyone asks her "how could you be so stupid."

Burned

"Burned"

As i keep finishing Ellen Hopkins Books i become sad in a way, sad because i can read faster then she can write. I didnt really like the start to "Burned" but as i keep reading i fell in love. Pattyn never was popular, she was never the talkative type. Once Pattyn meets a boy and gets caught doing something her religion doesn't tolerate she is sent to her Aunt J's. There Pattyn finds her true love. She sees hope and trust, love and lust, she is finally free. The problem is Pattyn has to return home to her abusive father, a father that beats her and her mother and since she was gone her younger sisters too. Everyone sees the dark shades her mother wears to church, everyone knows but what they dont know is they could have helped, instead they didn't they looked away. Pattyn doesn't care about her father or her mother who keeps popping out kids, no she cares about Ethan her babies father. In her attempt to escape whats left of her Mormon life, she is in a crash one survives and two just took their last breathes of cold Nevada AIR.

Books I'm reading

As of now I'm reading four books! I know that seems like alot but I don't always read four at a time. The books I'm reading are "Identical" by Ellen Hopkins one of my absolute favorite authors, and my hero :), I'm also reading "Fallout" byEllen Hopkins as well. The third book I'm reading is "Drity little Secrets" by C.j. Omololu, now I read some serious werid books and I should read the back of a book but I can't help it I grab it buy it read the first page and relize that I should have read the back and If I would have read the back I probably wouldn't have got the book. Oh well my fault. The fourth book I'm reading is"the boyfriend list" by E. Lockhart, I started reading it and really liked it and put it off to the side and I finally got back to it. So those are the books I'm currently reading. So enjoy I hope you guys read them to and comment, even if you hated the books just let me know :)

Elsewhere

"Elsewhere"


Being dead at 15, is something Liz never wanted, something she never expected. When being ran over by a cab on her way to the mall, she is hit by a cab and killed. The cab driver wasn't ever found. Liz ends up on a ship called the S.S Nile. At first everything to Liz is so unclear, but as time passes Liz figures it out. This book takes you on an adventure, it made me think what happens when we die? Is there a place like Elsewhere. In Elsewhere  you grow younger not older and once you are 7 days old you are on your way back to earth. Liz wants to return early, but that soon changes once Owen is in the picture. Will Liz find love in Elsewhere? When she never found it on Earth or Did she? maybe her last life maybe? Who knows... maybe just maybe you will

Secrets Of My Hollywood Life

"Secrets of My Hollywood Life"

As you can tell  i read all kinds of books, having said that this book actually wasn't all to bad, it had some romance and alot of drama. Books wouldn't be good without drama :). I normally dont go for books like this but my sister picked it put so i read it, Short but not to Short. i loved the way it ends and i would totally re-read it. My favorite thing in this book would be the details, so many details her clothes just sound plain amazing . <3 Kayla.

Glass

"Glass"

Glass is the sequel to "crank". Even though I loved crank, I love "glass" more, there is so much drama and action. There are highs and lows and up and downs but nothing will prepare you for this!!! KAYLA

Crank

.

"Crank"
Crank. One word for this book, amazing! This book is just so raw and so real. You see Kristna's life from her point of view, you see her family, her friends, you feel what she feels. The whole time I was reading this book I never wanted it to end. One of my favorites I will never forget Crank. Crank has touched my life in a way I can't explain.

Go Ask Alice

"Go Ask Alice"



i started reading "Go Ask Alice",and by the time i got to page 10 i couldn't put the book down. My fingers cramped from turning pages and my wrists hurt from holding up the book, but that didnt stop me from reading "Go ask Alice". Her words inspired me they took me places i thought i would never go before. This book is Truely inspiring to me and many others. If you haven't read "Go ask Alice" i would strongly recommed it to all readers 13 and above. I will never forget this book and i would totally read it again.!

<3 Kayla.
