I really liked this book. It mixed a nice amount of friends, real life problems, faith, and romance to make for a good read. It is the fourth book in the series and was the first one in the series that I have read. I didn’t feel lost and the story was still good. The author did a nice job on the book and leaves you satisfied by the end of the story.

Review: "Confessions of a Not It Girl"

"Confessions of A Not It Girl"

Yahn has a problem. She cant seem to find a boyfriend, plus her "it" best friend has had loads of them already! When Yahn meets one that she thinks might just be the one, it doesn't look like it will end up the way she plans. They have a fight, make up, but then everything starts getting awkward. Plus, they were never girlfriend, boyfriend in the first place! Will her dream come true? Or will she just have to keep searching? Find out in "Confessions of A Not It Girl" by Melissa Kantor.

This wasn't one of the best books that I have read. Almost all of it was about boys and didn't really have a main plot other than Yahn getting a boyfriend and about her best friends boyfriend (who thinks shes 21). It was still pretty fun to read though, it was light and different.

Review: Princess in Pink

"Princess In Pink" by Meg Cabot

Mia's dream is to go to Prom with Michael, her boyfriend and her best friend's (Lily) brother. However, it doesn't seem like he is planning on asking her. Will Mia work up enough courage to ask him herself?

The prom isn't the only problem in this story! Mia and her family (Michael too) are eating out at a fancy restaurant, when little does anyone know until it happens, Genovian Queen, otherwise known as Mia's Grandmother, brought her dog with. When he jumps out of her purse and trips a busboy, causing him to get fired, Lilly starts a huge petition and breaks up with her long term boyfriend, Boris.

Now, it looks like prom is going to be canceled, and New York city is on strike. Find out what happens next in this exciting edition of the "Princess Diaries" book series by Meg Cabot!

This was such a good book! Meg has so many amazing teen books and all of the ones that I have read were so good! This was no exception! She does a nice job capturing an exciting "princess" feeling while at the same time giving Mia and the other characters real life problems that everyday teens might face. Applauds for Meg!

Review: Parties and Potions

Parties and Potions

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a witch? You could zap your shirt to a different color whenever you wanted, pop yourselves over to Hawaii for a day, and have a bunch of witch friends! In “Parties and Potions,” by Sarah Mlynowski, Rachel and her sister, Miri are witches. Actually they just found out that they were witches about half a year ago when Miri accidently made a lobster come back to life in a restaurant. Now that they are witches, they are learning all kinds of witchy stuff. They learn to juggle their studies, boyfriends, witch world, and real life. When Miri convinces Rachel to participate in a big witch event, the samsortas, they meet all kinds of witch friends and Miri even falls in love and has her first boyfriend. Rachel has something important to figure out, should she tell her non witch boyfriend, Ralph, about her being a witch, and what about her Dad? Rachel and Miri lead exciting lives, juggling their witch lives and regular people lives. Will they be able to do it? Read “Parties and Potions” to find out!

I really enjoyed reading “Parties and Potions” it was a fun read that was light and easy. It wasn’t too serious and the characters faced problems that an average teen girl might have. I liked the relationship that Rachel and Miri shared. It was so different from what a lot of authors do to their sister characters. Rachel and Miri seemed to be not only sisters but friends. Sure, they had a few small fights but nothing too serious. I liked “Parties and Potions” and it is the kind of book that I would like to read again!
