Before I Die- Jenny Downham

Everyone has to die. We all know it.

With only a few months left to live, sixteen year old Tessa knows that better then most.

After finding out she was going to die she made a list. Ten thing she wants to do before she dies. Number one is...sex. And the list starts tonight. As the book progresses and Tessa gets sicker things on the list change and things get added.

But Tessa soon finds out that getting what she wants isn't as easy as she thought. And getting what you want doesn't always give you what you need. But most importantly that unexpected things sometimes become the most important and most special.

I love this book. Tessa seemed to find herself and what she truly wanted throughout out the book. She found love in the most unexpected place. And she found happiness. To get over the fact that she was going to die and she couldn't do any thing about it. Tessa helped her best friend and her parents and made it a little easier for her little brother to cope with her death when she did die. But the best part, that you think is going to be the saddest (which was sad...i cried) was when she died. She died at home with the people who loved and cared for her the most. And no one could ask for anything more then that.

Love,
Lexi <3

Undone by Brooke Taylor

"1. Sing with Bleeder Valve.

2. Get a tattoo.

3. Work things out with Shay.

4. Confront D.

5. Tell Serena.

Kori Kitzler is the 'dark angel' of her high school: beautiful, mysterious, the subject of rumors. Serena Moore is just an average girl: unassuming. not exactly sure who she is or who she wants to be. But then a seemingly chance encounter ignites a fateful friendship- allowing Kori to draw Serena into her world.

When the girls are given an assignment to list five things they would never dream could really happen- their five ways to tempt fate- Serena doesn't take it very seriously. But then a tragedy leaves Serena shocked, alone, and in possession of Kori's five secret impossible possibilities. Can Serena complete her best friend's list, of will she leave Kori's dreams undone?"

I LOVED this book. I thought it was amazing. Once I started to read it I couldn't put it down. I now love this author. I hope she comes out with new books soon. <3

How To (un)Cage A Girl by Francesca Lia Block (ARC)

"The pain of wanting to fit in...

The joy of being consumed by love...

The shame of not feeling at home in your body...

The strength of feeling at home in you're body...

These are moments that ever girl knows...for they are part of growing up, of uncaging yourself from your childhood, your environment, your veiw of yourself. Francesca Lia Block follows the journey from girlhood to womanhood in this three-part poerty collection that channels girls' innermost feelings and experienses and celebrates women everywhere."

Personally I didn't like this book. It was confusing in some parts and boring in others. Its only caught my full attention about twice. In the beggining and the end. I thought the last two poems had a very good message to them. But the rest of it didn't really have a message. i don't think I will ever read this book again. <3

Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen

" 'Ruby, where is your mother?'

With that question from the social worker, Ruby knows the game is up.

She's been living alone in the old yellow house, waiting out the months until she turns eighteen and can finally be on her own legally. It certainly wasn't on her plan to be reunited with Cora, the sister who left 10 years before, and brought to live with Cora and her wealthy entrepreneur husband.

Suddenly life is transformed: a luxurious house, private school, new clothes, and even the chance of a future Ruby couldn't have dreamed of. So why is she wary, unable to be grateful, incapable of letting anyone close? Only Nate, the genial, popular boy next door, seems to understand, perhaps because hes been hiding some secrets of his own."

I loved this book. I think that Sarah Dessen is an AMAZING author. I think that I am going to read all of her books. Ive read most of them already. Sarah Dessen is now one of my top 3 favorite authors. <33
