Such a Pretty Girl - 5 Stars
+ pretty little life + Surviving Every Day
Here is the first thing I would like to say about this novel: don't let the fact that it is young adult fiction keep you from reading it. I am so glad I read Such a Pretty Girl despite its genre classification.

Smashed: Story of a Drunken Girlhood 198 reviews Koren Zailckas
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006
We've all been there...I hope.
+ Love this book! + shockingly hit home
I definitely had my party years and some of Koren's life experiences seem to match my own. She doesn't hold back anything and her honesty about the Greek system is accurate. I feel a little less guilty now that I know someone else had the same thoughts running through their head that I did during ...

Cut 344 reviews Patricia Mccormick
Push, 2002
Introspection of a fictional girl
+ Insightful
While this is a fictional account of self-harm, I felt that it was a fair portrayal of the main character who is attempting to deal with familial issues the best way she knows how. I have read horrendous books that were intended to have the same effect that this story had...and from my reading (so ...

Leftovers 13 reviews Laura Wiess

Liv's Book Reviews
+ really good book for teens + Different, but good.
This book was promoted as a sequel to Such A Pretty Girl, but I don't think it is. They both deal with tough issues in today's world, but that's where the similarities end. The characters, setting, and even perspective are different, which is nice. I don't think I could've read another book related ...

Go Ask Alice 1250 reviews Anonymous
Simon Pulse, 2005
we get it already...
+ Everyone should read this book + Go Ask Alice
There seem to be a lot of reviews written for this book bashing it. We get it...you're angry that this is a work of fiction and isn't, in all actuality, a true, bona fide account. Unfortunately for you, you will find that most books contain fiction.
Yes the book says that teenagers shouldn't do ...
