For me this was a story that did need to be told. With this issue becoming more and more widespread, and effecting more and more schools it is important. It wasn't the story line that didn't interest me or that the characters didn't have a strong voice, they did. It was just that I wanted more. I...
Técnicamente, le pondría un 3,5; pero, una vez más, los marcadores enteros, me impiden ser verdaderamente justa. La sinopsis me atrapó y es un buen reflejo de lo que tenemos en el libro. La autora ha conseguido crear algo "real", porque es bastante fiel a cómo se desarrollaría toda la trama en la...
Thousand Words was quite boring. Well, very boring. Whilst I felt this story had the potential to be great, I didn't really feel like the plot moved anywhere. It just sort of dragged on, and so I wouldn't recommend it. The characters needed to develop more, and the main character was one of the l...
The Bitch!! Campbell!! 115. Tennille’s muffin top It was always hard to concentrate on school once the calendar turned to May. The sun was finally shining, and the only thing that sounded good was sitting outside, listening to music and maybe bouncing rocks off the water at Blue Lake. But by Ma...
“Guys, I’m sorry,” I said in a yawn. “But I’m getting tired. I’ve gotta stop.” “I’m hungry,” Rena said by way of agreement. “Reno,” Grayson said, holding up the atlas to see it in the headlight beam of the car behind us. He glanced backward and grinned. “Your brother?” She blinked at him. “I don’...
“So we really know for sure that there are planets orbiting other stars out there, like Earth does with the sun?” I asked, a dollop of mayonnaise and egg dropping down onto my chin. “Tons of them. I’ve seen them myself,” he said. “We’re finding new stuff out there all the time.” “Like what?” “The...
Her face was so pale, so swollen. She looked like a dying person. The flowers and balloons had grown overnight as well. Now they were the first thing you noticed when you came into the room. I caught an orderly leaving with a cartful of greenery as I was coming in, my ankle nagging me with every ...
“Jersey,” she kept repeating. “Jersey, would you like some coffee cake? Jersey, let’s put your things away. What time do you like to wake up in the morning, Jersey?” It was like she couldn’t get enough of it. It was driving me crazy already. I followed behind her in my burr-covered socks, my shoe...
This was the first time we’d really gone anywhere alone since the musical. Not that Cole hadn’t been trying. I’d been avoiding it. I was afraid to be alone with him. Afraid that he’d hurt me again. Afraid that I’d be forced to break up with him and then he’d do something c...
