Sandwiched

The novel Sandwiched by Jennifer Archer was amazing. It took me a minute to relize how the book was being writen, but I ended up not being able to put the book down. It was interesting reading a book that had three different point of views in it. It made the book very interseting and enjoyble to read by all ages. It has a great ending and I did not want it to end. This was a great book about understanding changes and getting older.

The book continues with Eragons training and ends in a great battle between good and evil. The second book in the trilogy is out right now.

Born Confused

I really enjoyed reading Born Confused by Tanuja Desai Hidier. It really gave me a new outlook on life and how to find myself. Born Coonfused was great because i could relate to the characters. It explained daily troubles that teenagers face when we are trying to figure out who we are. It was definitely something that I did not want to stop reading. I would recomend this to anyone who is in search for themselves. It helped me out a great deal.

Perfect By Natasha Friend

This is a really good book about a girl with an eating disorder. It tells you that not all people with eating disorders do it to be skinny. In this case, the girl has bulimia. With her, she shoves bad feelings down with food, then releases it by purging. Isabelle (the main character) has a younger sister who found her purging one day and told her mom. Her mom made her go to "group" therapy. Where she found out the most popular girl in school go to therapy for the same problem.

I really liked this book because it was so nicely written. It was written like she was talking to you. It is one of those books where you read the first page, and can not put it down.
Two thumbs up

The Mermaid Chair, Sue Monk Kidd

I decided to read this book because I had read The Secret Life of Bees and I really liked it. In this book, Jessie, the main character returns home to help her Mother who seamsto have gone crazy. The book also included a love triange, between Jessie, her husband Hugh and a local monk, Brother Thomas. Jessie feels an instent love for Brother Thomas but is that enough to end her twenty marrage with Hugh and destroy her family?
I really liked this book because there was the mystery of what really happened to Jessie's Father and why has her Mother done crazy by cutting off her fingers one by one? Add that with the new romance story with Jessie and Brother Thomas, its a good mix for everyone. When two men are fighting over a women, I usually perfere one over the other, but in this book I felt that both were perfect for her and I was going to feel bad for the one not picked. This is a good book and you should read it.
