Where She Went
Where She Went by Gayle Forman (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
"If I Stay" SPOILER!!! This is the sequel to the book "If I Stay." "If I Stay" is about a young woman who is in a terrible accident and whether or not she decides to fight for her life. This book is equally just as wonderful as that one and once again we read about Mia from her old boyfriend Adam's perspective. Both are musically talented and succeeding in each of their genres. Although they have drifted since the accident, they meet up once again 3 years later. Each chapter begins with lyrics from Adam's band's album and I kind of wished that some of the songs really existed. Definitely worth reading after reading "If I Stay." -- Added by AnotherJessica on 01/20/2013

Dirty Little Secrets
Dirty Little Secrets by C. J. Omololu (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
Loved this book. The show Hoarding can be an interesting show to those that may not be familiar with the issue. This book is a fictional look into a teen girl's living with her mom who hoards. It shows the strain on relationships between a hoarder and their family and friends along with the challenges. -- Added by AnotherJessica on 01/13/2013

This was one of those books that the minute I finished it, I wanted to talk about it - asking my friends and family, "If you were Lucy, what would you do?" -- Nimble Novice on 01/13/2013  
So do think she made the right choice? -- AnotherJessica on 01/13/2013  
I never saw it coming- the ending took me totally by surprise! But two of the people I asked afterward said it was the ONLY thing she could do. -- Nimble Novice on 01/13/2013  
I agree with you! I didn't expect it but I would say it definitely made sense for the story and all that Lucy had experienced. -- AnotherJessica on 01/20/2013  
It's about Time
It's about Time by Jay Asher (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Health)
This book takes place in the 90's and the main characters can see their facebook pages from 15 yrs in the future. Definitely interesting, engaging, and worthwhile to read for teens or adults. -- Added by AnotherJessica on 01/07/2013
