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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
