Reader reviewed by Kayla (Midnight Twilight)

All Serena wants is to live a normal life, but it's harder for her, she's deaf. Serena has a "gift", she can read lips, even across a crowded cafeteria. This causes the popular girls to want to use Serena to get all the juicy gossip for their sorority. Serena tries to conform to fit in, and it doesn't work out very well.

I probably wouldn't have even picked up this book if it wasn't sent to me by Pulse It, but i kind of liked it. I was pulled in pretty quickly. Though the story started off light, with very little substance, it got better. Well, it got worse (very fake), then it got better.
Some parts i couldn't get into, or picture happening to anyone i knew (and i'm not talking about the being deaf part.) I don't want to give anything away, but basically the whole book is about Serena acting fake to be friends with the popular girls. Some parts were hard to understand , it was like there was some information left out.
I feel very torn, i liked the beginning of the book, then it got really fake and boring, then i loved it again at the end. If you can stick through a few boring chapters, i'd say Read My Lips is worth reading.
