Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan

My Rating: 2 stars Nick and Norah met at a punk rock club, when Nick asks Norah to be his fake girlfriend for five minutes so he can make his ex girlfriend think he has moved on. Little do they know, they both actually have a lot in common, including family issues, ex boyfriends/girlfriends, their […]

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

My Rating: 5 stars On March 6th, 2007, the lives of the students of Sterling High school in New Hampshire were changed forever. One second, it was only a school day like any other. Nothing bad ever happens in Sterling. Blink and everything has changed. It only took Peter Houghton nineteen minutes to enter his […]

Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk

My Rating 3 stars Just when it seemed impossible….I actually dislike a Chuck Palahniuk book. The book is about a song, the “culling” song and when this song is read aloud, whoever hears it dies. The main character is a journalism who is researching cases in which babies and young children have died because their […]

Where She Went by Gayle Forman

My Rating: 4 stars *Don’t read if you haven’t read the previous book* After Mia’s accident, she and Adam were on the rocks. She was accepted into Julliard and had a promising career playing the cello, and Adam’s band finally kicks it off with a hit album. Mia is off to New York and Adam […]

After by Amy Efaw

My Rating: 5 stars Devon was a fifteen year old, straight-A student and her school’s soccer star with Olympic dreams and was more mature than her own mother. That is, until ‘That Night’ happened. Everything changed so quickly. The night Devon gave birth in her bathroom, in panic and desperation she threw away her baby […]

You by Charles Benoit

My Rating: 2 stars This review is definitely going to be difficult to write, because I really didn’t get that far into the book and it was really, really confusing. Okay, so first off, this book is written in second person (hence the title “You”). I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that was […]

Hold Still by Nina LaCour

My Rating: 5 stars Ingrid didn’t leave behind much. But after she took her own life at a young age, she left her journal to her best friend, Caitlin. Now Caitlin is alone, struggling to find hope and deal with the loss of her best friend. Caitlin relives moments from the past, good and bad, […]

Diary by Chuck Palahniuk

My Rating: 4 stars Misty Wilmot was once a promising young artist. Now she drinks too much and works as a waitress in a hotel. Her husband is in a coma after a suicide attempt. He was a contractor, and now his clients are threatening Misty with lawsuits over a series of mysterious and disturbing […]

You Don’t Know Me by David Klass

My Rating: 5 stars You think you know someone, but really, all you see is the exterior. We only know two things about John: his name and that he has brown eyes. We don’t know where he lives or where he goes to school. We don’t know his favorite subject…if he even has one. Nor […]

Bitter End by Jennifer Brown

My Rating: 5 stars Alex doesn’t know how her mother died, and her father refuses to discuss what happened. Alex’s dream is to visit Colorado, where her mother was headed on the night she died, with her two childhood best friends, Zack and Bethany. Just when everything seems to be going as usual, a new […]
