Teen Review:
Don't read this book because if you love the movie, you'll love the book so much more! It tears you apart and it's just fab. There's no better way to explain it.  - Deanna

Teen Review: The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars
by John Green

Book Description:
Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

Review:
I loved every single thing about this book! It made me cry, both because it was sad *and* because I got so angry in spots! I read the whole book in one day because I could not put it down!

It is a MUST READ!!

Teen Review: Why We Broke Up

Why We Broke Up
by Daniel Handler

Book Description:

I'm telling you why we broke up, Ed. I'm writing it in this letter, the whole truth of why it happened.

Min Green and Ed Slaterton are breaking up, so Min is writing Ed a letter and giving him a box. Inside the box is why they broke up. Two bottle caps, a movie ticket, a folded note, a box of matches, a protractor, books, a toy truck, a pair of ugly earrings, a comb from a motel room, and every other item collected over the course of a giddy, intimate, heartbreaking relationship. Item after item is illustrated and accounted for, and then the box, like a girlfriend, will be dumped.

Review:
Tired of Makeups and break ups?

Read Why We Broke Up for a refreshing twist on relationships. Read as Min discovers herself and the truth behind "True Love" or what she thought it was...
