This book I'm reading is about a girl who's been the IT girl all her life, until it comes to home, where she is a totally different person because of they her mother lived. I feel a connection here to almost all the books I've read before, since they're all about teens and their popular lives on the outside, when on the inside they're full of deep dark secrets. Camille, right now is 29, but is a reporter and goes back to her home town for an article based on the deaths of little girls going missing.
During her visit, many different people are telling her weird things about her having to leave, yet none of them tell her WHY she has to leaves, and then she knows it's leaded toward the murderer, and how it's after Camille since she's on the case more than the police at the scene. I personally liked this book for another reason too, it was actually about real life stuff that happen in this life, and didn't have a happy ending like all the other books out there.
Overall, I thought that it was really good, but the thing I didn't like was the fact that Camille cut herself every time she got mad, and the weird thing about her cutting was that she cut in words and that was really creepy.

Blog Post- Faking 19 Alison Noel
This book is totally real life. The story's about the fact of how some teens are really smart, yet they tend to mess up their lives because of the influence they get from their friends. The main character, Alex, has the bestest life a student can ever have; invitations to scholarships at sophomore year, and the bestest friend ever. Yet the girl just somehow screws up her life because of the influence of having to be popular.
These things do happen in real life, it's just that the happy endings happen in the books, not in life. Reading this book made me think about all the teens in this world that probably have the same things going on in their lives, it's just that some of them decide to use their brains and avoid that path.
Alex was the smartest girl freshman and sophomore year, it just happens to be that M, her best friend drags Alex to her level. There are always these types of people in schools, they need to be a certain type be noticed, and it just happens that they stay like that all their lives which means that they can't go back to their mistakes. They all live the worst lives and regret themselves to ever happen.
Alex is all about struggles, and she ends up reaching her goal, college. Not community, which is what everyone was expecting her, but an actual college that was given to her by scholarship. So now we know that changing for yourself is totally possible.
