Love You, Hate You, MIss You

Love You, Hate You, Miss You
by Elizabeth Scott

OK so this is the last book by her that I'm reading, just cause i can't get my hands on any of her other books yet he he. So this book is about a girl named Amy who is tall, awkward and doesn't know how to deal with life anymore now that she's killed her best friend Julia. At least that's how she sees it, after going through therapy and passing days without her best friend, and let's not forget no alcohol she realizes slowly that things weren't as good as she thought they were. It's a really good book that shows how someone deals with grief and repercussions of their actions, the recurring theme in the book is that we make our own choices which i wholeheartedly agree with. Just because you follow someone you are still choosing to do so. Another great book by Elizabeth Scott.

Something Maybe

Something Maybe

by Elizabeth Scott

So I'm a big fan of this author now, her books I just can't seem to put down. This book was great and really bought a new crush into my life. This book is about a girl named Hannah who's parents (not together) pretty much make a living being online (whether naked or just with a bunch of bimbos) and her trying to just be normal. She's completely in love with Josh who she thinks is ultra sensitive, political, considerate etc. But on the other hand there is Finn who is annoying easy to talk to but she's not interested in at all, at least that's what she thinks. throughout the book you just want to jump Finn's bones, the things he does and she doesn't even notice. It's just really great I loved their interaction and wanted more. Major literary crush on Finn over here :-)

Stealing Heaven

Stealing Heaven
by Elizabeth Scott

I actually went to the library to pick this book out - which I am going to try to do as much as possible now since it's economical and all. Now on to this book, it's about a girl who has known nothing but stealing her whole life. She's eighteen and is a thief of silver with her mother but as time goes on she starts wishing for that normal life. She even falls for a guy - who happens to be a cop. I absolutely love the interaction between the two of them it literally bought a huge smile to my face every time they would meet in the book. I couldn't put it down and read it in a day. I would have given it five stars but I was a little disappointed with the end because it left me wanting more. What happened with her mother was a little predictable I completely saw it coming but it was still sad when it was actually said out loud and played out in the book. Great read, so happy I finally got to it.

The Secret Rites of Social Butterflies

The Secret Rites of Social Butterflies
by Lizabeth Zindel

This was an ok book. It's about a girl who moves to NYC her senior year of high school and tries to fit in. She befriends three girls who are the highest and most popular clique in the all girl school. But then she finds out some of the things she does just doesn't fit in with her morals at all. In the end even though it wasn't her fault it was bound to happen the destruction of the clique. It reminded me too much of the teen movies or even a vague version of Gossip Girl. It was on ok read.

Thirteen Reasons Why

Thirteen Reasons Why
by Jay Asher

I've totally been slacking in my book reviews but I'm catching up today. Hopefully.
So I read this book and thought it was great, it's about a girl who commits suicide and she leaves behind thirteen reasons why - on audio tape. (If this was done now I would suspect it would be CD's or blog or something along those lines but audio tape - that makes it worth it because it makes the receiver go and search for something to play it in so they can find out why she killed herself.) It's told through two people, the person who recorded the tapes and the person who is listening to the tapes. I really liked this way of writing because it gave you two points of view one within the other simultaneously. I hope to read more books by Jay Asher.
