one night that changes everything

     Due to the popularity of Two-Way Street, I decided to try another book by Lauren Barnholdt.  Ms. Barnholdt takes the reader on a journey of one night and all the events that can occur.  Eliza, a sweet shy girl, discovers that her secret notebook has been stolen by the school's popular group of idiots...oops, I mean cool kids.  They threaten her with the publishing of her notebook online if she doesn't follow through with their demands.  In a whirlwind of events, Eliza learns a lot about herself, her past, her friends, her family, and who she can and cannot trust.  

    Highly recommended for those teen lit lovers.

Things I Can't Forget...or maybe I can...

       In a previous post, I raved about how much I loved Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally.  I was ecstatic to receive another book by her.  To my dismay, this book was not half the book as Catching Jordan, but it wasn't a total disappointment either.  The author does accomplish her purpose, "With this story, I want to show you (teenagers) that your beliefs matter-no matter who you are or where you come from.  Your opinions matter.  You matter.  Tome, nothing was scarier than understanding that my truth wasn't everyone else's truth.  It took a while, but I discovered that's okay - it's better if I do the things I want to do and believe what I want to believe.  I hope you find your truth."

     If you have read Catching Jordan, I do recommend that you read it.  I have added Stealing Parker to my list of reads.  I am hoping it will bring all the books together.
