TTYL, by Lauren Myracle

Wow! TTYL, by Lauren Myracle, was an amazing book! This book was like a roller coaster! The 3 girls in this book were madmaddie (Maddie), zoegirl (Zoe), and lastly SnowAngel (Angela). It was the start of 10th grade for these girls and they made a promise to not let school crazinessto get them down or split them apart. Lots of interesting things happened in this book. Angela was suspicious when Doug was hanging out with other girls besides her. Zoe was feeling a little weird because one of her teachers, Mr. H, was asking Zoe to go to places. One part of this book that really made me sad was when Maddie was hanging out with Jana; who thinks that she is Little Miss Perfect and very popular. Oh PLEASE!!! I for one, really think that this book inspired me to be loyal with my friends so that way we would not get into any major arguments. When you start reading this book, you can understand why the title is called TTYL; which means talk-to-you-later. The girls are exciting about 10th grade, but the main question is.... Will they survive?

I will be saying this again because it is so true! I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! I liked that this book explains a lot. It had me wanting to keep on going because of what these 3 girls can produce with one another. If you are having a great friendship with someone, (but you guys have had some ups-and -downs) this is the book for you. I believe that in each and everyone of you, is an amazing friend. My favorite part of this book was the end because you can see these girls before and after their little situation. So don't delay, go and get this book today! Bye everyone and also, have a lovely day with your family and friends :) :)

Better off Famous, by Jane Mendle

Being famous is awesome, right? Well, I guess that you could say that birthday girl Annie Hoffman is going to New York for her birthday. That was all thanks to an aunt that Annie didn't know about. Her aunt's name was Alexandra. Aunt Alexandra sent Annie a plane ticket for her birthday so that way Annie could meet her. Since Annie played the violin, she decided to go to the Julliard auditions in this fancy place in New York. But then, a producer that was going to be shooting a movie called Country Day was asking Annie if she wanted to play as Berry Calvin; a violin playing, sassy girl. When Annie started to go through the life of being famous, she had realized that the publicity and cameras were watching Annie with every move thatshe did. So with the new clothes, new style, and possibly her new attitude, will Annie really wonder if she is better off famous?

I love the book Better Off Famous, by Jane Mendle! I loved how a normal 16-year-old could do so much! I think that if you do some crazy things in your life; and you try to fix them up, they can make you be who you really are. This book really made me feel happy because if you think that you want to be someone else, you will know, that in the end, you will want to be yourself again. So don't delay, go to the library today! Make sure that you read this book called Better off Famous by Jane Mendle. Bye everyone and have a beautiful and lovely rest of your day!
