Cut McCormick, P. (2000).
Cut. New York: Push. While ya gotta respect McCormick for repeatedly exploring some of the toughest issues for young adult girls out there, I feel like Cut doesn't focus on cutting enough to warrant it making the title. Evolution, Me and Other Freaks of Nature. Brilliant!
I have never read a book like this before! Evolution, Me, and Other Freaks of Nature is a brilliant piece of literature about religion and science, finding your place in the world and young love. Mena Reece has done something so unspeakable it got her kicked out of her church. No she is left to deal with the kids from her youth group picking her out to torture. How ironic, right? The kids from Mena's former church refuse to listen to Ms. Dark Angel. Victoria's Review Dark Angel was an outstanding book.
I couldn't put it down. Dark Angel is about a 17-year-old boy named Jeff, whose brother is a convicted murderer, comes to live with them. Gossip Girl (Gossip Girl Series #1) Gossip Girl I am definitely not on board with the huge hype on Gossip Girl.

It truly thrills. In the book I am the Messenger, by Markus Zuzak Ed Kennedy is just a normal, sensitive, hopeless, underage cab driver.

Invisible. Just Listen. Don't think, or judge.
Just listen... Just Listen was so captivating that I couldn't put the book down. The fact that the story was based thoroughly on relationships(with the family as well as friends)and music. Madapple. Keeps you guessing "Madapple" is Meldrum's first novel, written while she worked as a litigator.
The story starts, as many do, at the beginning. Specifically, it opens twenty years before the core events of the story with a young woman named Maren--away from her Danish relatives, living alone in Maine, and pregnant. Without, Maren tells her older sister, ever having had a lover. The Kite Runner. A beautifully haunting story The Kite Runner left me at a loss for words.
The story is great. It's totally worth reading. Looking for Alaska. Starts slow and then sucks you in. Nineteen Minutes. Jodi Picoult writes yet another novel that proves that the world Jodi Picoult writes yet another novel that proves that the world is not black and white, but rather infinite shades of grey. The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I would not recommend this book to serious readers. The books p I would not recommend this book to serious readers.
The books packs on a bunch of young adult tropes and ends up reading like an episode of Degrassi. I bought this book, encouraged by the favorable reviews I had gotten from friends (and Barnes and Noble reviews here online), but ended up returning it immediately after I read it. I do not usually write unfavorable reviews but the amount of praise this book is getting is, I feel, totally unwarranted. My Sister's Keeper.
