Published: March 1st, 2010
My Rating: B
Summary: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6431702-happyface


My Review: Okay, this book was actually better than I thought it would be. I thought it would be stupid, but it wasn't. I was browsing my library, and the bright yellow cover, and happyface really caught my eye.

So "Happyface'' has a friend Chloe. He secretly loves her. His parents get a divorce he goes to live with his mom. The you find out later on that Everette, his brother, was seeing Chloe. But Everette died in a car crash with Chloe but she survived. So happyface lives with someone else, Regina. He becomes a very different person.

It could get confusing sometimes. But other than that it's good.
Oh and it sucks that you never find out his real name /:

Summary: Sorry i'm being a lazy butt and I don't wanna type alot. I think i'm going to just always do this. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3457715.Bliss

My Review: Okay so I kind of wanted to give this a C but it thought about it but it deserved a higher praise. Well first off, I Loooooooooooooooooooooove the cover I don't know why but I just love it! I mean the book looks waaaay creepier than it is and it kinda takes a while to get to the creepiness but it was very interesting and kind of wierd.

So Bliss and her parents were hippies, but she goes to live with her grandmother and goes to Crestview High. She gets some friends and she meets this really wierd girl named Sandy. She finds out she can here dead voices and Sandy tries to get her to be a part of it and it's just wierd. I thought the ending should be happy but it defenitly wasn't but I think it deserves at least a B. I do recomend but not at the top of the list.

***SPOILERS***  Agnes, the old lady, dies. Sarah Lynn dies, Sarah Lynn's dad finds out about Lawerence. Bliss starts dating Mitchell. Sandy becomes kinda popular.

Full Summary: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6624871-some-girls-are
 My Review: Okay so i gave it a B because I actually really liked it, it didn't start of slow or bore me it was on the right pace. If that makes sense. But I don't know why i gave it a B, it just didn't get an A from me. The end was great and I love the whole revenge thing but sometimes I got mad at the main character, Regina.

So Regina got raped at a party by Donnie her bff's  boyfriend but everybody says she wanted it and alot a horrible things go around about her. She starts hanging out with this really sweet guy, Michael. He gets pulled into it. Some parts were sad, and got me angry but it was actually very good. I reccomend(:

Summary: Aspen Springs Physciatric Hospital is a place for people who have played an ultimate end game. The suicide attempt survivors portrayed in this novel tell starkly different stories, but these three embattled teens share a desperate need for a second chance. 
My Review: 
So I gave this book a B beacuase it was kind of predictable. There are 2 boys and 1 girl, Tony, Conner, and Vanessa. It shows all of there points of few living on Aspen Springs.Tony is gay and does drugs. Vanessa cuts herself very bad, and Conner tried shooting himself in the chest but didn't succeed. The end was crazy sad! But I don't know I kind of knew it was coming. So I guess i'll give away some spoilers.

My Rating: A
Summary: Kristina thinks she can control it. Now with a baby to care for, she's determined to be the one deciding when, and how much, the one calling the shots. But the monster is too strong, and before she knows it, Kristina is back in its grips. She needs the monster to keep going, to face the pressures of day to day life. She needs to feel alive.
My Review:  So this book.. Wow! It was great a great sequel to the awesome book Crank. Crank is a trilogy: Crank, Glass, and Fallout.

Kristina is of course with the 'monster' again. Her mom asks custody of her baby, she moves in with her new 'fiance'. Trey is her new guy. And chase is now married. And the end is no big shocker, she ends up in jail... And pregnant. But to me she can't even take care of Hunter! Sometimes she gets me so angry. Like, put down that meth and go back home! But everything just goes totally downhill. I can't wait to read Fallout!

Her stepmother is clueless. And the voice inside Lia's head keeps telling her to remain in control, stay strong, lose more, weigh less. If she keeps on going this way- thin, thinner, thinest- maybe she'll disappear all together.
My Review: This books was good. I think i'm a little more dissapointed beacuase I had high expectations for this. And I was also kind of disstracted with it. But the end really drew me in. It's a very emotional book. She's dealing with anorexia and cutting it's terrible! But I would reccomend!

I still really love Laurie Halse Anderson's style of writing. I can't wait to read more of her books.
