Tangled by Carolyn Mackler

4/5
Tangled is a story about four teenagers who are all on vacation. The book is broken up into four parts, one from each character's perspective. I really like this aspect of the book because it allows you to see everybody's perspective. Each character is going through different things in their lives, from insecurities, depression, and death. Some parts had me cracking up, other parts had me close to tears. Overall I recommend it to all girls, who would probably enjoy it more than guys.

Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson


5/5
Wintergirls is the chilling tale of an anorexic girl's life after the death of her best friend. This book reminded me of Speak (also by Anderson) in it's focus on one girls emotions after a tragic event.

Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen


5/5
Sarah Dessen's Along for the Ride is about a girl who just graduated from high school. She moves to live with her dad and new stepmother for her summer to get a fresh perspective and break out of her routine. She uses night time as her time to go out and clear her mind of her family troubles. She meets a boy to endure her night time adventures with. He ends up helping her in many ways. The books goes through her struggles with family, friends, and herself. Sarah Dessen fans won't be disappointed! It is a fast read and easy to get lost in. I definitely recommend it.
