Can't Look Away

This week I read Can't Look Away written by Donna Cooner. This fiction book is about a girl who is a youtube phenomenon whose sister dies in a car accident. She thinks that it is her fault and everything begins to fall apart. This book was really good, it had a really interesting plot. The author did a really good job describing each setting in the book. The most descriptive was when she was in her bedroom trying to make her youtube videos, I could really see her room and picture how she was feeling. Overall this was a really good book that I would totally recommend it.

Papertowns by John Green

This week I read Papertowns written by John Green. This book is about a boy named Quentin who for his whole life has lived in the house next to the mysterious girl named Margo Roth Spiegelman. He goes off on adventures with her until she goes missing and he has to follow the clues to find her. I think that the most memorable character in this book was Margo. She was really mysterious and you got to know a lot about her throughout the book. Even though Quentin was staged as the main character, he did not stand out. I thought that this book was really good. It is very similar to most of John Green's other books, so if you do not prefer his type of writing you might not enjoy this, but I think that is a really good book to read no matter what. It had a lot of mystery and I would overall definitely recommend this book.

Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

This week I read Wintergirls  written by Laura Halse Anderson. This fiction book was about two girls who were in a competition that ends in a deadly loss. The competition is to see who can be the skinniest, and when one of their lives are taken the other has to recover from the loose and anorexia. The book starts off right in the middle of them making the pact. "I took the knife out of my pocket and cut my palm, just a little."I swear to be the skinniest girl in school, skinnier than you."" This really caught my attention and made me want to learn and read more. This book was really good, but it was a little slow in some parts, as for and content warnings this book is all about anorexia, bulimia, and drugs.
