Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

Back Cover: Melinda Sordino busted an end-of-summer part by calling the cops, so her old friends won't tak to her, and people she doesn't know hate fer from a distance. The safest place to be is alone, insider her own head. But even that's not safe. Because there's something she's trying not to think about, something about the night of the party that, if she left it in, would blow her carefully constructed disguise to smihereens. and then she would have to speak the truth. This book was really good, and very addicting. It was sad too, but it was like you were confused of what she was refering to, until she told the story of how she got raped. I can't imagine that, at only 13 years old. That would be devastating, so she just doesn't want to talk to anyone, but art makes her see things. At first she can't seem to get the tree art down, but then she slowly grips it and understands it. While she becomes sort of friends with Heather, she is also completely alone, once Heather deserts her for another group of girls. And even her parents have no idea what's going on. Her grades are dropping and she isn't talking. This was a really good book and this author just has a talent for words. Oh and I so wan to see the movie they made with this but I dunno how toget it since it was at the film festival, but Kristin Stewart is in it! Oh well wish me luck finding it.

Suspicion by Kate Brian

Back Cover: Reed, Noelle, and former Billings Girls Kiran and Taylor have been living it up on St. Barths over winter break. The tropical sun has melted away all the tensions of last semester, and for the first time in months, Reed is happy. She's got her best friends by her side, she has a palatial suite with an ocean view, and she's landed Upton, the most sought-after guy on the island. Reed is falling in love. But dating Upton makes Reed St. Barth's highest-profile guest- and not in a good way. Upton has a dark past, and he's broken a lot of hearts. One of his exes still wants him. And she'll do whatever it takes to get Reed out of the picture. MANNNN! CRAZY!! Oh and don't read this if you don't want to know anything that happened or ruin it for you! So, Reed just will never be happy for long I mean damn! It starts off with her in the water because in the last book she was pushed off of the boat, so then she gets rescued, of course, by Sawyer and a few others. Now she knows someone is trying to kill her, but Noelle and everyone else won't believe her. She can feel it though, I mean they should trust her now with all this near death experiences. So then she gets convinced to stay, and they supposedly catch the killer, someone working on the boat. But then she's all excited to start the new year and what happens, she gets on a wrong boat and gets deserted in an island in the middle of nowhere, and you'd think she'd get rescued really fast right? But it takes 6 days! And then Upton comes in the nick of time. And she gets whisked off in the Ryan's helicoptor, and of course Mrs. Ryan was the one who wanted her dead, and because she was like obssessed with Upton, talk about creeeeepy! And then when they get back to school, Billings is being torn down! WTF! Wow, and it's not until March for the next one to come out omg! It's killing me already haha but yeah it was intense like always, but I kinda wanna lay off a little on all this killing and everything I mean jeez, Reed is only like what 16? But yeah it was good though.

I loved it and def got into it, and it was fun to read something about spring break because I've read alot about summer recently and there's probably more summer books right? Well that spring break was fun sounding fer shure! Holly reminds me of me a little bit, but not a lot I mean I'd be up for partying but I am shy and kinda innocent hehe. But anyways, and Alexa did seem kinda slutty, and it was so funny that the guy they both liked or had they like switched them! And they do seem to fit each other better but I was like OOOO When Holly found out about Diego and Alexa together in that white cabana thing I was like awww. I felt what Holly did ya know? I've read some of Aimee's books before and she's pretty good! But I am kinda failing on my books, well not failing but falling behind! Ahhh! It's so hard to keep up with so much school work and then work and this! But I'm almost there, I can't give up now!

Back Cover: We're nearly done with high school- forever!- but before we head off to the Ivy of our choice we've got plenty to keep us busy: B found S kissing N in the shower. Steamy! Even B can see that S and N would make the hottest couple ever, right? Wrong. B's about to strut down the revenge runway, and I have a front row seat. We'll see if this catfight looks good on the catwalk. Time to hide behind my oversized Chanel sunglasses to watch the show... So wow. First off Nate is not happy! Man he keeps crying and is all moody all of a sudden what is up with that? He's crying more than the girls are, which they never do in the first place anyways! And Nate and Serena, yeah they look great together, but all they have in common is their looks nad having great sex I guess. Then Blair got her a new man, and he's so great to her! I can't wait to see what happens with her and if she goes off to see him in Englad right? And then that was so funny when Jenny met Chuck Bass' cousin at that boarding school haha. But hey now I know how Jenny got sent off to Waverly, which is thenn the It Girl series yay! Vanessa was good to break it off with Aaron cuz they too just have sex in common really, and she loves Dan! They keep going back together, just be with each other already man! But yeah on to the next aha and then after that I gotta bu the next one which means waiting and going onto other books but that's ok. And also might I add the series is amazing!

Nobody Does it Better by Cecily Von Ziegesar

Back Cover: It's springtime and our lives are really heating up. Everybody's into college, and it's obviously time to party- as if we hadn't been doing that already! Now that B's finally lost her virginity to N, she can't wait to do it again (and again). But will B and N's love affair continue? And Will B finally get into Yale? Or will N and S hook up and leave B alone in the city? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: love is in the air, and it smells a lot like Gucci Envy. Man these people are insane! ha. I still can't believe how high Nate always it and Blair I guess just doesn't care. It was so cute at the beginning them being together always never apart and then Nate of course had to do something crazy because he was high or stoned or whatever drugs do to him. And Serena and Nate hooking up again, what is up with those two? Man no wonder Blair is always so mad at them, I would be too! But anyways, it was a good book. Def get sucked into the drama and sex and all that of these upper east side girl and boys right? Well, at least Blair got into Yale right? That was good news and of course who wouldn't have thought of Aaron and Vanessa being together! But on to the next Gossip Girl I know I love it right? :]
