1/9/2019 After Anna Todd, 2014
I would recommend After to girls who love romance but doesn’t love to read. Once you get started you can’t put the book down, staying up all night to finish the next
chapter. This book is an easy read with lots of action. After is written for young adults so there is sex and language in the book. The book is about a college love
story between a good girl, Tess, and a mysterious bad boy, Harden, which falls into something they would’ve never suspected. The story is about Tess trying to figure
out Harden’s tragic backstory. It is written in Tess point-of-view, which gives it a deeper tense and curiosity to the book. The book draws you in every chapter piece
by piece. After is the first book to the series, so if you liked this book go read the others.

1/10/2018 All the Bright Places Jennifer Niven, 2015
This book is great for anyone who doesn’t mind a cliche love story. It follows the same overall plot line as many other YA fiction novels, a boy and girl fall in love,
all seems right in the world, but in the end tragedy strikes and the two are separated. The book is impossible to put down and the end of each chapter will only
leave you wanting more. Both main characters, Theodore Finch and Violet Markey, are relatable in their own ways and as a reader, it is very easy to form strong
connections to them throughout the book. And believe me, you will. At most times the book is hopeful and lighthearted, such as Violet and Finch’s many road trips
together, but the ending is truly heartbreaking. If you’re like me, it will leave you a crying mess, no matter how many times you’ve already read the book.

1/30/2012 Along for the Ride Sarah Dessen, 2009
I am recommending this book because it is a nice and easy book to sit-down and read. It is very well written, and it makes you want to continue reading. Sarah
Dessen is a very good author and writes books that are easy to read. Along for the Ride doesn't have anything in it that someone won't like. This keeps you on
you feet also because what you think is going to happen doesn't and changes everything. I recommend this mostly for girls who like a little bit of a love story.

1/30/2012 The Choice Nicholas Sparks, 2007
Nicholas Sparks does yet another excellent job at showing the development of two young people's relationship, their struggle to stay together, and how painful
it would be if that was all taken away because of one horrible car crash. This book will constantly have you smiling as you read about how two people quickly fall
in love and then have you desperately wishing you could read faster to see what happens in the end. It is a very heartwarming story that I recommend to all
readers.

1/30/2012 The Choice Nicholas Sparks, 2007
The Choice is a love story written by Nicholas Sparks. It is a novel about finding yourself and finding the difference between loving and being in love with someone.
I will warn that it is an extreme tear jerker, so if you can not handle heartbreak, I wouldn't read it. This book is very down to earth and real in the sense that the
events that do occur can happen any day at any time. It's the kind of book that pulls you in after a chapter or two and once you get that far you're hooked and
wound up in the suspense of the love and the sadness, only wanting the outcome to be good. Overall, it is a well written book, but be aware it was written for
adults so there is sex and language as well as adult problems in it. But, if you're a Sparks fan you'll love it.

1/9/2019 The Clearing Heather Davis, 2004
The Clearing by Heather Davis 2004, Romance was a very unique book to read. I would recommend this book if you like romance and a little mystery. It is a love
story with an unusual plot that makes you loathe having to put the book down. This book is definitely one of my favorite books that i have read because there are
so many unsuspecting events and when your almost positive you’ve foreseen what’s going to happen next the complete opposite transpires. It is not too long and
you don’t get bored easily because you’re so eager to know what happens next. The chapters are about five to ten pages long which makes it easy and smooth to
read through them thoroughly. It is definitely a rollercoaster of a story.

1/30/2012 The Clearing Heather Davis, 2004
This book is honestly one of the best book that I've read. The Clearing is from a boy and a girl's perspective and what they think. I would recommend this book
to people because I'm not a big fan of reading, but this book made me want to keep reading and never put the book down. The ending is unpredictable and
sad. Its a cute romance that shows how two people struggle to be together. I think that anyone who reads this will instantly fall in love with the book.

12/5/2011 Cloaked Alex Flinn, 2011
This book is adventurous! I loved it BUT the chapters ARE EXTREMELY SHORT! You'll try to read just one more chapter but turns out you've read the whole book
with that whole one chapter thing... The chapters' length makes you read more as it is a fast paced book! I loved it, many of our fairy tales from when we were all
small children and many we don't know are in this wonderful book!

9/28/2014 Clockwork Prince Cassandra Clare
Though I was unsure of what genre it really was, that was mainly because the book had so much to it. After searching it up, I can agree that it can be considered a
Romance Novel, but I'd say it also fits in the Action/Adventure category, so whether you like love stories or stories with fighting in thrills, this book is most likely for you.
Though I have not finished it, it only helps as I can't spoil anything. Clockwork Prince is about Tessa Gray, who lives at the London Institute among Shadow hunters, a
group of half-angel-half-human beings called Nephilim. After the recent failings of the manager of the Institute, Charlotte, the Council of Shadow hunters begin to question
her ability to lead. Now Tessa and her are trying to find an evil industrialist named Mortmain bent on destroying all the Nephilim in the world or risk losing control of the
Institute to Benedict Lightwood.

5/3/2012 Crossed Ally Condie, 2011
This book is really engaging. It is a continuation of the first book in the series, Matched, and I think it is just as good. I read it in one day because I couldn’t put it down.
I think that this book is really inspiring because it proves how far someone can push themselves for true love. The main character in the story stops at nothing until she
sees her love again. What really made me like the book though , was that there was enough action and adventure in the book to keep it from becoming sappy and boring.
I suggest it to anyone that likes a good story.
Kristin Brognano 2nd
5/3/2012 Delirium Lauren Oliver, 2011
If you're looking for a great romance novel here it is. Even though it is over 400 pages long Delirium was a very fast read, and I found it really hard to put it down. If you
don't like crazy endings then this book may not be for you, it nearly drove me crazy once I finished it. But other than that I would highly recommend this book.

1/10/2018 Diary of an Oxygen Thief Anonymous, 2016
I highly recommend Diary of an Oxygen Thief to those who enjoy the type of books are written through the author’s first person perspective; everything they feel, everything
they see, every single thought they have is just written out, and you sort of feel it with them. It evokes emotions in you, that you never thought you had. In Diary of an
Oxygen Thief the author Anonymous depicts this character that goes around and breaks girl’s hearts for his own enjoyment, which sounds awful, but the perfection of the
book isn’t in the topic, it’s in his writing. When you first start reading it, it seems that it’s just some jerk of a guy going around hurting people for his own pleasure and that
there is no point in reading it, but when you read it all the way through, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how karma got him back. The way he portrays the world and heartbreak
and the reality of how people are treated, its hyper realistic and really is incredible from start to finish.

1/24/2012 Dream Factory Brad Barkley and Heather Hepler, 2007
I would definitely recommend this book to any girl or boy who loves a cheesy romance novel. This book shows both sides of the story from the girl's and boy's
opinion. Dream Factory has a humorous tone. It has mild language and some sexual content but not too much. This book is an easy, short 200 page read. It
is a very interesting book that keeps you wanting more. There are many surprises that the reader won't expect. I loved reading it and not knowing what was
coming! Definitely a very good book to read!
Alix Bikker 4th
5/30/2013 Dreamland Sarah Dessen, 2000
Dreamland is a heart-wrenching story that will bring you to tears by the time you turn the last page. If you are looking for a feel good book I would not recommend
Dreamland; however, if you want a realistic view on high school romance, then this is your book. Not only will your heart break, you will feel as lost and alone as
the main character Caitlin. This novel does contain language and sexual references. I highly recommend Dreamland to anyone wanting to read a realistic romance
instead of your usual cookie-cutter love story.

1/9/2019 Everything, Everything Nicola Yoon, 2015
Everything, Everything is a book that will spark the greatest emotions into its readers. Madeline Whittier was diagnosed with a rare disease that made her allergic
to the world, yet she loved it with all her heart. Especially the ocean. Her mother and her nurse take care of her and entertain her. She attends online college and
online support groups for people diagnosed with the same disease. She even has her own book review website. Nothing compared to the world though. She always
wondered what it was like to be outside, breathe in unfiltered air, swim in the ocean. They were impossible until Olly moved in next door, making the impossible
possible. Everything, Everything is not the book you expect it to be. It's not just another teen novel. It doesn't follow the formula of boy meets girl. It breaks
boundaries and introduces unheard conflicts. This book will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and maybe it will make you question your own risks. The
unexpected twists and turns are sure to keep any reader glued to the pages. This book is sure to become one of your favorites!

1/10/2018 Everything, Everything Nicola Yeen, 2015
My first thought of this book was that it was just another one of those teen obsessions. But the more acquainted I got with this book the more I fell in love with
everything about it. Nicola Yeen creates such a positive character in Madeline even when she goes through very negative events, like her illness causing her to be
inside all day round with her nurse Carla and her mother who is her personal doctor. Or positive events like when Madeline meets Olly the boy that moves in next door
for the very first time.This has some romance even I’m not much of a fan and i thought this was an amazing book and picture of love at it’s finest. Overall i really
enjoyed this book for it’s reality, livability, and throughout humanity fulfilled in this book. I would really recommend this book to anyone that just wants to live a little.
Paola Rosario 4th
1/10/2018 Everything, Everything Nicola Yoon, 2015
I adored the book Everything,Everything, a love that is bound to end terribly. This book is a non stop adventure for Maddy (Madeline Whittier) as she tries new things
and has new experiences. She falls in love for the very first time, takes risks she would have never even thought about before Olly. Madeline hasn’t left her house in
seventeen years, simply because she is allergic to everything. Her life was the same thing everyday routine and she just lived with her mom and has a nurse. Until one
day a new family moves in next door. There's a boy named Olly. Maddy’s disease prevents her from doing anything a normal kid would experience. Her “greatest risk
is not taking one.” She is always thinking about the adventures she reads about. Everything, Everything is all about risks that are worth taking even if it may end up hurting
you. Love is worth the risk for Maddy.

1/9/2019 The Fault in Our Stars John Green, 2012
The Fault in Our Stars was one my favorite books that i’ve ever read. Young Hazel, the main character, was diagnosed with cancer at the age of thirteen and didn’t
have many friends. Her sad story turned upside down when she met Augustus Waters at her support group, further changing her life for the good. Although they are
both sick, when they are together, it’s a time for them to forget all their insecurities and instead, be in love. This book was very hard to put down because of all the
emotions coming from the characters. I would definitely recommend this book because it will make you feel like you’re inside the story acting as one of the
characters. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a romantic, eye-opening story. Also, one can see how hard it can be to get through depression, but also
what it feels like to overcome it.
Hailey Moriarty 4th
2/3/2016 The Fault in Our Stars John Green, 2012
One of the best books I have read is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I think this a wonderful book. It is about a young girl who has to deal with cancer. She
also happens to meet a cute young boy who also has had cancer. When they are together it is a time they can forget they are sick, and be young and in love. I
would definitely recommend that you read this book. This book will be one that is hard to put down until you finish. It will have you feeling all kinds of emotions.
From happiness to being heartbroken this book has it all, which is why The Fault in Our Stars is something to go read today!
Mary Hannah Williams 7th
2/3/2016 The Fault in Our Stars John Green, 2012
I highly recommend this book! It has a great story and is easy to read. I would set it down and instantly have to pick it up again. It reads so smoothly, it just flows.
It was so described I could imagine the story in my head. If you like love stories that relate to real life then you will love this. It takes you on an roller coaster with
the characters. You feel like you are in the book. The plot is so relatable with today and how things happen that is not in your control.
Allison Holton 7th
2/16/2016 I'll Be There Holy Goldberg Sloan, 2011
A book I would really recommend is I'll Be There. This book is written by Holly Sloan and is not a book known by most students. I was introduced to this book by
a friend that loves to read so when she recommended it to me I knew I had to read it. The book grabs your attention at the beginning by switching between the two
very different lives of a 17 year old boy and girl. Eventually the story line makes them cross paths and they fall in love. The boy has a very rough life whereas the
girl comparatively has a “perfect” life. The term “I'll Be There” is carried as the theme of the book and is foreshadowed throughout the book. These two teenage lives
merging is great at first but the mysteries and complexity along the way creates tragedy in many areas. This book keeps you locked in, very interested, and each
chapter leaves you wanting to read another. I couldn't put it down even throughout the school day I was picking it up every chance I got.

5/2/2012 Just Listen Sarah Dessen, 2006
If you like teenage love drama then you will love this book. Sarah Dessen writes a lot of great books about teenage romance and this is, in my opinion, one of her best.
She does a very good job of making you understand how the characters are feeling. In this particular book, a seemingly perfect girl begins to lose it all and becomes
quiet and shy. She meets a guy who figures her out better than she can figure herself out. He teaches her how to be herself again. There is a catch though so if you like
a book with a sneaky secret this is the book for you!
Antonia Poate 7th
5/28/2013 Just Listen Sarah Dessen, 2006
This book isn’t your typical, teenage girl meets a boy and they live happily ever after, story. Annabel seems like she has everything, but that’s the complete opposite. With
the help of a friend, she learns to speak for herself. So if you like unexpected twists and a complex story with falling in love somewhere in the mix, this book suits that requisite.
Renee Garvey 1st
1/24/2012 The Last Song Nicholas Sparks, 2009
This book is a great romantic novel, but it also has Christian values. The book shows the difficulties the main character goes through falling in love, changing her
life, and supporting her father who has cancer. Mostly girls enjoy this book because of the movie that stars Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus. This book is about
390 pages but is a fast read because it's a really good book! Some people would not want to read this book because of deaths and some graphic scenes. I recommend
this book because has a religious and romantic aspect to it. Some people may be able to understand what Ronnie (the main character) is going through.
Leigh Keiran 4th
1/30/2012 The Last Song Nicholas Sparks, 2009
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys relating to the character of a story. This book vividly displays the ups and downs of life and puts them at a relatable
message that will pull at your heart. It contains the epitome of how love is never failing. Be aware that this book contains sadness and a few “choice” paragraphs, and
Christian beliefs. This book has twists and turns that will keep you from putting it down. The Last Song is a lengthy book, but you will be so into the book it won’t even
matter. I encourage anyone to read this book, trust me you will be eager for more the more you read.
Alayna Nixon 5th
1/29/2012 The Last Song Nicholas Sparks, 2010
The Last Song is an amazing story of love and great heartache. This fantastic story will have you laughing hysterically at some points and reaching for the box of tissues
at others. This is the perfect book for teenage girls! Nicholas Sparks does a great job of creating very realistic characters who are very easy to relate to. Among these
characters is Ronnie. She is a typical teenage girl who is trying to get through the hardships of life. The Last Song is also a very religious book. Although it includes some
language and violence, this book is well worth reading!
Kayla Henrie 4th
5/31/2013 The Last Song Nicholas Sparks, 2009
I recommend this book to anyone who believes that you should NEVER take anything/anyone for granted because you never know how much something/someone means
to you until you lose it. This book has many really good life lessons in it. Many of them you have probably seen or heard in other romantic films or novels. I really liked the
story, I liked how I could relate to the characters and could feel their emotions. But, warning, this book will make you cry your eyes out!
Shayla Hicks 3rd
5/1/2012 Legacy Cayla Kluver, 2009
Legacy is a fantastic read that will keep you wanting more even to the very end. This story is told back in the times of Kings and Queens, where loyalty should be chosen
carefully, with heart renching courtships, a doomed love, and deception; this book never pulls a dull moment. You begin to fall in love with some of the characters and then
just absolutely hate others. But what is a book without humor? Heavily written with sarcasm and unique comebacks, it will keep you laughing and entertained. Although it is
a little on the lengthy side, it's worth the read. It is the first book of a trilogy and I am anticipating the remaining books!
Gabriella Vegliacich 2nd
1/10/2018 Lipstick Apology Jennifer Jabaley, 2009
Lipstick Apology is a romance book done by Jennifer Jabaley. It’s an easy read and can inspire people to keep moving forward and learn to love new beginnings. All the
suspense and relatable content can make you become apart of the book. You get so into the book you can feel the emotions the characters have. Reading this book can
change your outlook on things and help you feel confident in moving or making new friends. Being in that situation is tough and reading about someone getting through
that can help the reader be self assured. The character learns to accept changes and learns to forgive her mom. I couldn’t put down this book when reading it, it’s a great
book if you need a quick read. This book can get you hooked super fast, it has a pretty slow beginning, but once the action starts happening you’ll not be able to put it down.
So if you love suspenseful romance this book is for you.

1/10/2018 The Longest Ride Nicholas Sparks, 2013
The Longest Ride is an amazing story about two different couples lives. Their stories start many years apart but one day little do they know their stories will intertwine.
Ruth and Ira’s story starts in the 30’s/40’s, they are a young couple and it is war time. They face many hardships but work through them all until one day when they are

from one of their dates. They visit him in the hospital and he begins to become a mentor for the young couple. Sophia and Luke also begin to face many hardships in their
relationship that could devastate their future but It helps to guide the young couple and they make it through these challenging times.

2/5/2016 Looking for Alaska John Green, 2005
This book made me want to keep turning the page. It was so good! It reveals romance from a whole other perspective. It is a huge adventure of Pudge at his new
school and it is truly exciting. John Green wrote this book so good, he allows you to connect on an emotional level with the characters. He is the type of author that
doesn't mind referring to controversial topics which is quite rare for an author. However, he does talk about the consequences and outcomes of making bad decisions.
John Green gives you the unfiltered version of a teenage boy’s life. You aren't expecting the outcome until it happens.
Julia Hartzog 6th
2/5/2016 Looking for Alaska John Green, 2006
I recommend this book because it is more than an average love story. Looking for Alaska is about a high school boy who decides to leave his public school in
Florida to attend private school in Alabama. He believes this change of scenery will help him find what he calls "The Great Perhaps" , a sense of self identification
and a purpose in life. The story goes on to tell how he finds this through the friends he meets and the girl he first falls in love with. The experiences he has at his new
school teach him to live his life to the fullest, because you never know when it may end. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance, however this
book touches on much deeper subjects than that, such as smoking, alcohol and suicide. The book has an unexpected twist that will shock you and keep you reading
until the very end.
Emma Ladd 6th
3/27/2012 Matched Ally Condie, 2010
Are you looking for a book so good you won't put it down? If you are...look no further. This book is by far an easy read and very spicy in the romance. This book is truly
the next step from Twilight and The Hunger Games, the only difference is...IT'S BETTER. Literally I stayed up until 2 am reading this book and to be honest...I really
don't love to read. This is an excellent book that's beautifully written. I highly, NO, STRONGLY recommend this book to any girl looking for the perfect teen romance book
that's not to over dramatic like Twilight and has that sweet, smart, poetic, bad boy in the love Triangle. Reasons not to read: While there's danger and romance in here,
there's not very much violence or sex, no language either. It's pretty safe and parental approved.
Asia Greer 2nd
1/10/2012 Message in a Bottle Nicholas Sparks, 1999
Sparks does a great job in this book mixing a story of the struggles and accomplishments of a young couple trying to survive a long distance relationship. So if you
enjoy a good romance this is where to find one. But watch out. There is a tremendous heartache at the end of this story that could leave you in tears. I enjoyed this
book because it satisfied my urge to tap into someone else's life and be interested in some new drama.
Katelyn Friesen 1st
1/10/2018 Milk & Honey Rupi Kaur, 2014
Kaur uses her heartfelt love for poetry to write about the tragedies of some young women’s lives. She has broken down each subject into four chapters; the hurting,
the loving, the breaking, and the healing. At first glance this book seemed what today’s generation would call, ‘basic’. I personally am not a fan of romance novels,
but as I began reading, the importance of her poetry hit me. As a thriving young woman I could sympathize to some of the struggles that she demonstrates. For example,
Kaur gives the raw description of rape, family tears, and heartbreak within ‘the hurting’ chapter. She gets through to the reader the mindset of these women and how they
think about the world. However, through all of the pain, she brings about the goodness of moving on and picking yourself up within ‘the healing’ chapter. Rupi Kaur has
captured the perfect essence of what it is like to be a woman. I highly suggest this book whether or not you’ve experienced some of these cases or not, it is widely
inspirational.
Brayden Rowell 4th
2/5/2016 The Notebook Nicholas Sparks, 1996
I recommend this book for anyone who likes to read about love. Not just the general love story, with the boring, “didn't see that coming” story line, but a love story that
shows the beginning of a relationship, the happiness, the hardships, the tears, and what turned into one of the best romance plots I had ever read. This book is very
capable of pulling at your emotional strings, and keeping you on your toes. This story represents how couples that are meant to be, will be, even if it takes years to
realize it. If this novel doesn't have you in tears, or on an emotional roller coaster, or make you believe in happy endings, then I don't know what will. Reading this
book will make you realize there is always, always hope in true love.
Marissa Parsons 6th
9/30/2014 Paranormalcy Kiersten White, 2014
This is one of my personal favorite books that I have read. For the people like me who get bored of reading a book easily, trust me, this book is not going to bore you.
As I was reading this story, I found myself constantly in suspense; I could not put the book down. Every page is a new surprise and keeps you entertained and
engaged in reading. This story is a great combination of romance and mystery. The story entices you, it pulls you into the world that the author has created and
makes you see things differently. The main character in this story is a young teenage girl who is very unique and her life depicts a larger reality. Also the other
characters and the actions of these characters make the story even more eventful. If you are looking for a good read, I would highly recommend reading this book.
Charlie Woolgar 3rd
1/10/2018 Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen, 1813
What Jane Austen does with this book is absolutely inspirational! At first Pride and Prejudice may seem like another romance novel, but it is so much more. The
book shows its readers that you could really miss out on getting to know good people if you judge them by their looks, riches, and your first impression of them. In
the novel, the main character Elizabeth Bennet with hasty judgement throughout the book, and she eventually finds the flaws in her ways. She and her four sisters
struggle with this because the society in the 1800’s pressured youth, especially young girls, to marry soon and to someone with lots of money. Pride and Prejudice
accurately executes the shift from past ideologies of marriage to modern ideas, which is something everyone today needs to be aware of, so that we are more
knowledgeable of how to approach the idea of relationships and marriage.
Amy Erickson 5th
5/3/2012 Redeeming Love Francine Rivers, 1997
This book is so good and it keeps you hooked and surprised until the last page. This book is a christian book and about a girl who has had a really rough past so there
is a lot of sensitive material. It is more for girls but a great read and I highly recommend it. You will fall in love with the characters and sympathize with them. The author
did a great job on this book and is an amazing writer. I usually don't like to read romance but this has a lot of action and isn't quite what you would expect.
Melissa Sharp 1st
5/30/2013 Safe Haven Nicholas Sparks, 2010
Safe Haven is easily one of the best books I have ever read. It was a thrilling page-turner that I could never put down. It had sudden twists of events and intriguing flashbacks
that never allowed me to stop reading. There were many parts of the book that could be devastating to the readers. Although it was a great movie, it is such a better read!
Jacqueline Hodskins 4th
1/30/2012 Scrambled Eggs Brad Barkley and Heather Hepler, 2006
Scrambled Eggs is a seemingly commonly told romance story about how two kids fall in love. But as it is a common story, there are many quirks and twists that I never
saw coming. This is a great book if you love a classic romance story, but it still keeps the reader interested. It is an easy read, and fairly short but still manages to
keep the reader engaged.This book would also be interesting to anyone with an unusual or interesting family background, as this is a main part of the plot. Overall,
I found this book funny yet interesting and would recommend it!
Julia Smith 5th
10/15/2014 The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight Jennifer E. Smith, 2012
The title of this book fits the story very well. I got just about everything I expected out of it which was a super girly, super predictable, turn-me-into-a-romcom story
that would make any girl a hopeless romantic. Granted it’s not exactly my type of story I did actually fell in love with this book. The story centers around two teenagers
who find love in an airport, lose each other in the chaos of customs, and find each other once again to live happily ever after. Super cheesy I know but it's the
perfect little predictable story that makes you feel all happy inside. It takes place in the span of 24 hours and I'm surprised at how the author put so much into so little
a time frame and all the little sub plots just pull it all together. I probably wouldn't choose it for a literary analysis again but its the perfect little story to pass the time on
a lazy day or long car ride.
Marisa Maiden 3rd
1/27/2012 Sundays at Tiffany's James Patterson, 2008
Yes, this book is a romance novel, but that doesn't mean that it's extremely cheesy and sappy like all other romance novels. It's such a good book because it incorporates
so many real life situations and puts them into perspective. Also, this book has a lot of twists and turns that keep you reading for hours. It's very interesting not only because
it tells the story from both sides, but because right from the beginning the book hooks you. It's one of those books you can't stop reading until you've finished it. Although this
is a very good book, it does contain one very sexual scene. Other than that scene this book is pretty decent.
Bre Jensen-Barclay 2nd
1/9/2019 This Lullaby Sarah Dessen, 2002
I recommend this book because it has a balance of wicked and fun moments along with teen dramas. This Lullaby is also a love story about faith and destiny. High
school graduate, Remy, does not mess around when it comes to relationships. She learned all there is to know from her mother, who is gonna be marrying her fifth
husband. Remy is seen to be the “perfect girl”. She is smart, pretty, and can handle almost every situation. She even planned her mothers wedding and that is not
easy to do. She ends up falling for the male protagonist, Dexter, who she had no intentions becoming involved with and always avoids him. It’s too bad that Dexter
refuses to leave her life.

I recommend this novel because it is very deep and if you've ever experienced death of a close fried or family member you can relate well to the characters. It is a sweet love
story about losing yourself and finding you again. About honesty and trust and who will always have your back. I do not recommend this book for any boys because it is very
sappy and if you cry easily you will not enjoy this book either. Overall, it is a good read but you have to prefer the genre romance and a slow plot.

I personally thought Wake was a fabulous book. This book is a romance/spine trembling novel. I don’t really have any complaints about this book, even though some
may think otherwise. This book is a suspense building romance. Eventhough this book starts off a little slow, you just got to get through it, you need to read and
understand the basis of it first before you continue on to later books in the series. For those of you who loved Wake and want more, there is a sequel to it. This book
is called Fade and it's also written by Lisa McMann. Fade gets deeper into Janie and Cabel’s relationship and this time, the cases get more intense. In my opinion,
both of these books are great reads for teens. They are suspenseful and not the longest reads, but good ones. For those of you who haven’t read either of them, I
suggest you try them out and see how you like them! P.S. There is also a 3rd book in the series called Gone.Warning! This book contains: Heavy sexual content,
brief drug use, violence, coarse language.

A Walk to Remember is a book about two different people with different personalities that end up falling in love. Jamie Sullivan is a quiet girl who is very studious, and
is content with being herself. Landon Carter has a totally different view. He's the player who most of the time gets in trouble, and doesn't have the best grades. They
both end up meeting, and they don't like each other very much. But Jamie ends up turning Landon into a better person, and they both start learning more about each
other. They go to the dance together, and Landon starts to fall for Jamie. Landon is a different person when he's with his friends, though, turning Jamie down. I
recommend reading this book because it's a love story, which has its ups and downs, but shows that people who are totally different from each other can learn from
each other and end up falling in love.

A Walk to Remember is a beautiful story that any person with a love for a good Romance novel will enjoy. It’s unique yet sorrowful ending is what makes this
book so different than most other books in this genre. The beautiful message that Sparks is portraying through this book will leave you being more appreciative
of people and love itself. He reveals how one person could change the life of another with love and purity and how one shouldn’t judge a person on their first
impression views on them. He engages the reader and makes them feel as if they are in the story and has a personal relationship with each character. He does
a spectacular job of making the characters come to life, which makes you only love the characters more and more. This book is an exceptional story that is both
inspiring and has a beautiful message that will not only change the characters but also change the reader.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read love stories that relate to reality and has a different ending than most romance books. You will relate to
the characters, and cry your eyes out at the end. And I most recommend this book to people who believe that love can change not only people but also everyone
around us.

5/2/2012 When It Happens Susane Colasanti, 2006
This book is filled with teenage romance. The way that Colasanti has written the dialogue makes it seem so realistic. Also, it makes great musical references, mostly
because the boy is a musician. They are both seniors who learn that, even though they didn't think so at first, they have a lot in common and begin falling in love. This
book addresses most of the issues and scenarios that the majority of teenagers deal with. If you enjoy a good romance then you'll love it! However, if you don't appretiate
reading the occasional bad language or sexual moments then do not read it.

1/10/2018 Where She Went Gayle Forman, 2011
This is the second part to If I Stay, this book is about two characters Adam and Mia who crossed paths after three years since the accident. They both are very successful
and it gives you a look into what it is like being famous. Since the lost of her parents and sibling Mia has tried her best to erase Adam and move on from her past. This book
talks about dealing with their past and why things turned out the way they did. People can be faced with similar situations whether it is relating to the feelings that Adam went
through by writing breakup songs or feeling the absence of her parents and sibling because of their death three years ago. I personally prefer this book over the first one because
the amount of emotion and description put in this book is crazy. It is like you are living in their shoes and having that same experience. The setting is based in New York, the
amount of description makes me feel like I am actually their and I’ve never been in my life.
