Books - The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
I think this book was pretty amazing. I mean, yes, it did get annoying when I didnt know whether what the book was talking about was past or present- but then I re-read it and it made a bit more sense.
The story is about a girl named Isabella (a.k.a: Belly) and how she spends her summer in a holiday house with some friends every year. So her mums friend owns this holiday house, and she has 2 sons. Jeremiah and Conrad. Jeremiah is a complete jester- always laughing, joking, goofing around. Conrad on the other hand- he's the more silent type.
So, Belly's had a crush on Conrad like, forever, but none of the boys notice her. That is, until this summer. :)
I'm not gonna say any more. You have to read the book to know what I'm talking about. As a bookworm, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Happy reading! :D

Books - Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta
Rate the book: 10
By the same author as "Looking For Alibrandi", is another great book about a teens life. Even though the main character, Francesca is Italian (like in Looking For Alibrandi), this book focuses moreso on the troubles she faces when she is sent to a school that has only just become co-ed, leaving her friends from her old school behind.This book is also about boy troubles rather than trouble because of her ethnicity. A great read for those who love romance/friend/family type books.

Books - Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan
Rate the book: 9
Nick is the bassist for a punk band with an ever changing name, and he's just had his heart broken. Norah doesn't know what she wants, and thinks she's ruined her life, by making all the wrong decisions just to annoy her super rich, music executive, father.
Nick and Norah are thrown together in one incredible night in New York City, that will change their lives.
This was a fantastic book, which has been made into a movie (due out in March '09, I think) and is really all about friends, love, and life in general; but mostly it's about music. And without sounding too sickening; the music of life. I'd recommend it to young adults; it's all sex, drugs, and lots and lots of swearing, but definitely an amazing read, totally romantic in places - not like a Mills and Boom romance novel, but really cool 'why-doesn't-this-happen-to-me-style' romantic. Read it!! It's fantastic!
