Charlie, this book seems very interesting. I think i am going to read this because I like this type of genre. It seems relatable to someone my age. And seems like it will keep my interest.
I read the first book to this, Speak, as my summer reading for my junior year, and absolutely loved it. I've heard good things about this book as well, and have been meaning to read it. It deals a lot with Dessen likes to write about: teen angst, and can be totally relatable to any teenager these days. I might have to pick this one for my next book review.
This sounds like an interesting book. I like books that deal with kids around my same age because I can usually relate to them in some way. This book also sounds like it has a lot of conflict and that is what makes me want to read it the most. I always liked books that keep you drawn in with a thick plot and different conflicts.
