Review:I think my heart stopped a few times while reading this book. I consumed it in less than a day, because I honestly was drawn to the lives of Joaquin, Grace and Maya.

They each tell the story in alternating chapters, yet it flows together so smoothly, the concept of them being family seems right from the very beginning.

Each sibling is dealing with confronting how their past (both mistakes they've made and the fact that they were given up by their biological mother) meshes with thei... Read more

Review:Pros: Mexican culture, themes of family, coming to terms with who you are, inner beauty
Cons: Passive, unlikable protagonist who complains all the time, speaks before thinking.
I’ll start by saying: This book should be required reading for high schoolers. It deals with a lot of hard-hitting issues, such as sexual assault, sexism, racism, gang violence, the death of a loved one, etc. Additionally, there are quite a few important other topics, such as family relationships, and lots of knowle...

Review:Oh My Oh My I just love love love Miss Holly Black books so far the ones that I have already read by her they all are absolutely Fantastic! And The Darkest Part Of The Forest is no different than her other amazing books. Miss Black can never steer me wrong, I totally love her writing style, the world, the plot and especially the character's she writes. They all are so amazingly rich and refreshing that I just love and can't stop reading about them. I literally could not put this book down that I... Read more

Review:I think that every girl should read this book. It is the perfect book for girls ages 9- forever! I read it because my friend read it and she told me what a great book it was and i decided to see if it was great. It was and i am so sure that i will read it again and again until my copy of the book falls apart! "Just as Long as we are Together" helps girls who are expecally ones going through puberty, because the girls in the story are. Step, Rachel, and Alison tell you what your in for with out j...

Review:This book was horrible. I listen to audio books daily and this is the first review I've written. If I can save one person from wasting their hard earned money on this book, I've helped. I've listened to several YA books but this is so juvenile and unrealistic, it's just sad. I listened to the whole, painful book just to write a honest review. I really don't understand how it received so many five star reviews. Buyer beware! Read more

Review:The plot was very anticlimactic and the main character was a bit of a cliche. This book was too reminiscent of past Dessen books, but poorly executed. Same stock characters as always. Don't get me wrong, I truly love Sara Dessen's writing, but this was very lackluster, somewhat unrealistic, and led by a rather bland character. Also, the standard boy love interest didn't really make it into the story that much....you kinda forgot they had a thing. I genuinely hope that Dessen blows us away with h... Read more

Review:Exhilarating and Enjoyable! You get sucked into the book as a character yourself. "Whatever Happened to Janie?" answers all. People were dancing in joyous celebration in New Jersey for the return of a lost loved one. What had happened after Janie hung up the phone? Was it then a happily ever after story? Or did it make you feel the frustration and pain she would go through? Had the worry and fright stopped? Had the grief lost it's way through the Springs? New sorrow began as a different st...

Review:Such a beautiful story. You will not regret picking up this book. There's so many laughs and tears. For me, this story was a small part of my past in two ways. It's just so beautiful and reminds you that life is good even if at times it might not seem like it and that we need to be aware of others who might be suffering, lend a hand or ear to listen, do something rather than later regretting you didn't. You can make a difference. Read more

Review:I actually threw this book and I am greatly sorry for it but this novel got under my skin. So yes, I totally enjoyed this novel and yes, I would highly recommend it, if this is a genre you read. Why? For starters this novel is real, this story is reality as it told the story as if they were your neighbors and this was not the edited version. There was no red bow at the end and there was no happy, sappy feeling in the middle that made me go “ahh!” I was furious and irritated and I wanted to ... Read more
