I got it at the library because it looked good. Then I got home and asked my self why in world I even picked it up. Boy, am I glad that I did! Mia has leukemia. But she denies it by lying to everyone she knows in lying to them, even as she lies in a hospital bed full of chemo. What kind of person will this big secret turn her into? Someone she can look in the mirror? Like I said, I wasn't always sure of my footing while reading this novel, but it was worth the wait. It made me cry and scream and laugh, all appropriate emotions while reading a good book. Tiffany Schmidt makes me never want to lie ever again. It's an amazing read, would recommend.

It's a book that makes you want to fall in love. Julie Peters keeps you on the edge of your seat with this slow burn romance. Holland has it all. The boyfriend and girl friends, the grades and ability to get into a good college, and the well-meaning parents even if they weren't all that great. Enter Cece a new girl who shouldn't be deserving of a second glance, but once Holland takes one look at her entire world is about to change. Watch Holland as she explores her newfound sexuality and love. A true journey through what being gay can really mean- in the way that it is not all pride and rainbows. Claire Lazbnek knows how to create characters! They are bold and imperfect and everything that I love about a good fictional personality. One day Chole decides that her older sister Ivy needs a boyfriend. Ivy is on the autisitc spectrum so Chole goes with her. The prospect for Ivy is a boy, Ethan, from Ivy's special needs class. Who knew the older brother of the cute boy she picked out for her sister was a jerk from her class. But, as time passes Chole's opinion may just change. This book threw my emotions all over the place. No matter what, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I read it all in a rush, all in a day, it was so good. It gave me a happy ending that I wasn't expecting, and sometimes we need that to put our own life into perspective. |
