What My Girlfriend Doesn't Know by: Sonya Sones
(4/5)
The format of this book is truly odd. It's in a poem form with stanzas and titles which are really just an extension of the book itself. Despite this, I found I quite liked the book. I thought the dynamics of the plot and descriptive language used was fantastic; instead of seeing words on a page, I was seeing the movie in my mind.
The book is about a teenage relationship that goes sour because the boy's name had become a common insult. Her friends abandon her and soon her name becomes a common insult too. There relationship felt especially mature in the way they handled some bigger issues.  I especially loved how the book ended; there was conflict and then in just one page, it went from broken to picking up the pieces.
This is a book I would definitely recommend to someone who's looking for some variety in the norm.


Bruiser by: Neal Shusterman
(4.7/5)
I thought this book was fantastic. It really made you pay attention to everything; including the title of the chapters because it told you who's POV that chapter was to be from. It delves into what I call medical sci-fi; to understand what I mean, you must read the book. It is a must.
The book is about one family going through trying times and the daughter becomes interested in a mysterious, feared boy. The brother of the girl doesn't like his reputation and investigates him; he ends up with more information than he anticipated and some odd information at that.
This book was recommended to me by a friend and it is definitely worth a read or two.
