along for the ride

I read along for the ride by Sarah Dessen. I thought it was a really good book because some of it was very shocking and some of it was very realistic. Auden decides to spend the summer before she goes off to college with her Dad and Step Mom. She didn't expect to make any friends or expect to fall in love with a guy named Eli. Eli's best friend just passed away and blames himself. Auden's just like her mom so when she's staying at her Dad's she struggles to stop being like her mom. Eli and Auden both come out of their shells as they explore the late night adventures of a small town. I really liked this book because Auden was kind of a daring character. She made this book exciting to read. I could hardly put it down.

My Sisters Keeper.

I read my sister's keeper by Jodi Picoult.
The main character is Anna Fitzgerald.
The book is about how it's up to Anna to save her sister Kate's life. Anna starts to not want to help her sister anymore. Their older brother Jesse grows up to be and gets in a lot of trouble. Sara and Brian Fitzgerald have a lot on their hands. Anna's fighting against her sisters life. This is a very good, suspenseful book. When you're reading this your on the edge of your set. Some parts will make you cry, other parts will make you smile. This is one of the best books I've ever read. I think teenage girls with a sister would like to read this. It brought my sister and I closer together.


"If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?"

"It's disappointing to know that someone can see right through you."

"Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look."

The Pact

I read The Pact by Jodi Picoult. The Pact is a love story with a twist. The main character is Chris Harte. The book is about how Chris Harte and Emily Gold grew up together, how Emily's suicide committing changes everything.
It switches point of views, it goes from Chris to Chris's mom Melanie and to his dad James. It also goes from Emily to her mom and dad.
Two devastated families that don't know what really happened that night. The major conflict in the story is Emily didn’t want to move ahead in time, she didn’t want anything with her and Chris to change. She wanted to put the world on pause.
I loved the book because it's like a love book with a twist of mystery in it. There are some parts that make you cry, others that make you laugh, and some parts surprise you. I could hardly put it down. I think more teenage girls would like this book more then anybody else.

"You don’t love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not"

"He began to trace a pattern on the table with the nail of his thumb. "She kept saying she wanted to keep things exactly the way they were, and that she wished she could stop everything from changing. She got really nervous, like, talking about the future. She once told me that she could see herself now, and she could also see the kind of life she wanted to have - kids, husband, suburbs, you know - but she couldn't figure out how to get from point A to point B."
