Nick Again

This book bring in characters from the first in the series, Just Pretending. However, we get to see them in a whole new way. This book is about what love can do, and weather or not people can truly change.

Fun Series

Young but Great!

This book felt a little young to be, but at the same time is really well done. It is the perfect start to a series that is reminiscent to other big YA books, but can be read to younger kids without being too scary. The idea is not super new,...

Over it....

I read these book in college when everyone was reading them and they were "good." However, now that I read YA all the time I know that they are lacking in so many ways! Also, after reading The Host which is also my Myers, I am sad that she wrote...
