Review:Wonderful storytelling as always! It was fantastic to read from a boy's point of view for the first time here, but it seriously made me want to go back and read the other books he's in. Defiantly lends a totally new perspective to the stories! Read more

Review:Beautifully written. I've read several books about self-harming; however, I never could grasp why people chose to do this for relief. Glasgow's writing, full of imagery and strong diction, helped me understand. Would definitely recommend this book! Read more

Review:Frankie returns to Alabaster Preparatory Academy, a boarding school, for her sophomore year. She's a little curvier than before, and the boys are noticing--although the only boy she cares about is Matthew Livingston, her crush since freshman year. In fact, much of the story
is set in motion when Frankie, who is riding a bike, sees Matthew in the first few days of school and becomes so distracted that she loses control of the bike and skins her knee. Matthew comes running over to make sure she... Read more

Review:Laurel’s English assignment is to write letters to a dead person. But once she starts, she can’t stop. She spills her soul, her secrets. She writes what she can’t say. And slowly, the story unfolds about her sister May, and the fateful night she died.

I am surprised by how much this book sucked me in and kept me reading. I’m not a fan of stories told in letters/emails, etc. But this one takes the reader’s hands and gently pulls them in. I love how each celebrity was researched, Laurel wri... Read more

Review:Meh. I got this book because it was supposed to have this awesome twist. I guessed the “twist” halfway through the book. The one interesting thing about this book it that it is written in poem form. Too bad the actual story is nothing special. Would not but again. Read more

Review:"Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try.
There's be no hell below us, above us only sky." -- John Lennon, 1971

John Lennon "Lennie" and her sister Bailey are inseparable. The girls depend on each other and their maternal grandmother as their natural mother abandoned them when they were toddlers. Their "Gram" always refers to the "restless gene" that their mother had and fears the girls might have inherited.

Bailey is flamboyant, daring, an eagle in flight. John Lenno... Read more

Review:Cody's reaction to her best friend's suicide is understandable. They've been living apart for the first time in their lives. Meg got a scholarship to University and Cody's biding her time raising funds to eventually join Meg. In the meantime though she's been struggling with a sense of resentment over the fact that she's had to remain in their small home town while Meg's off having new experiences and making new friends.

What basically comes next is Cody's attempt to understand how and wh... Read more

Review:A book should be a single story. I'm in chapter 10, and so far, there is no one story. We've got a bunch of disparate stories about several different people. I'm sure there's something to tie them together later, or I hope so, but this is a frustrating read. I don't particularly care about the personal lives of these characters since they don't intersect except for the fact that they are all Human Garde. Further, they aren't doing much of any significance yet. It's pretty boring. Frustrating rea... Read more

Quick & Dirty: I really enjoyed this novel, all but one aspect: the romance. It was insta-love and traveled way to fast.
