The F-it List By: Julie Halpern

    This book was recommended to me by a good friend of mine. She did not disappoint! This book was a tornado. There were so many ups and downs I thought I was reading a heart monitor!

   This book is filled with sadness, anger, and love. The main character, Alex, pissed me off. It felt like she was making unrealistic decisions. She seemed to be on a loop: sadness, anger, crying. Over and over again until one guy changes everything.

   The book kept me interested enough to keep reading but I don't really recommend it. It is too frustrating to read.

Lock & Key By: Sarah Dessen

    I will admit, I've been avoiding reading this author for a while. I always saw the popular girls at my school reading them and thought they were like teenage harliquin. Cliche and cheesy.

   I was totally and completely wrong.

   This book captured my heart from the first page. I could feel the emotions leaping off the page; anger, sadness, frustration. It all flew at me in a whirlwind. And I quite enjoyed it! 

    This book is something of a treasure. It has overcoming fears and love and acceptance. This books main character (Ruby) was so well developed. I think this book has some of the most well written character devolent I've ever read. 

    My only probelm is that I was left with so many questions at the end of the book. Did Ruby and Nate get back together? Did Ruby decide to stay with Cora and Jamie? These unanswered questions bothered me. But other than that the book was marvellous!
