Take Me There

Reader reviewed by Adrienne

Take Me There is the second book I have read from Susane
Colasanti and both were really awesome, good reads. I loved how the
book was in the three main characters' point-of-views because it made
the story very interesting to read. Even though it was in their
different perspectives in a duration of one week, the story was never
repetitive, so it wasn't ever boring to read their about their
different thoughts and actions. Also, I loved how the book ended! It
was a perfect ending and wrapped everything together pretty nicely.
Take Me There was just a fun book to read, but it wasn't the best book
ever. However, I would recommend reading it if you want a good,
enjoyable book to read. I can't wait to read Susane Colasanti's third
book Waiting For You.

"Take Me There" has a great story line. It is told in different sections. Each by a three day period and by the three main characters. (it's sounds confusing but it's really not when your reading it)
It's about a girl who just got dumped by her boyfriend for no apparent reason. Her two best friends help her out through this tough time but are also going through their own issues.

The thing that i didn't like about this book was the ending. It ended without things getting resolved. I wish that it did so that the readers could know what happened to the characters after. Although, you should really check this book out whenever you get the chance.

Recently I began reading the wonderful books by Susan Colasanti. The first book that I had read was Take Me There. I really enjoyed this book! The book is told from three narrators and each person tells the same events differently than the next. The book begins with the one of the narrators Rhiannon. She is devastated over breaking up with her boyfriend Steve. She then goes through the week realizing that she can get over him and that it may be hard to realize but, that he just is not worth her time! The next narrator is Nicole, Rhiannon's best friend. Like Rhiannon she just broke up with her boyfriend Danny. She has mixed feelings over what happened between them only there is more to it than you may think. Not only does she have to figure out what she really feels about her and Danny , she may have to look back at some things in her past that were not so wonderful. The next narrator is Danny. Danny has been best friends with Rhiannon since the 7th grade and nothing more. But, maybe there is more than "Just Friends".
I think that this book is an wonderful portly of high school and all it's ups and downs. I loved how there was a strong theme of friendship and support throughout the book! I found the book a very lighthearted read, even though it does deal with some very serious issues to. This is the perfect book read one afternoon when you're looking for a book just to suck you in and let you get lost in the story!

This story is told by 3 friends. Which is cool, but kind of upsetting because each person thells the same segment of time for about 50 pages, and by the time the third persons retelling, it gets a little repetitious because you really want to move along in the story and see whats next. Its set in an artsy school and throws in alot of really unique ideas.

But I loved this story! It was kind of creepy how i could relate to really well, and see the story happen in my own life. Three speakers are Rhiannon, Nicole, and James. Anyway, its Based around a girl named Rhiannon, and she just got dumped. And it was so random to her and she can't figure out why it happened or where to go to from here. Shes kind of the overorganized type. And she has a best friend, Nicole, who is pretty much the observer. You really want to figure her out, and whats holding her back and the story really just leaves you hanging with her. And the third character is James who is like Rhiannons other best friend and always there for her. They're togehter non stop and are extremely alike. He knows just what to do to cheer her up always.

Rhiannon has a goal of becoming more spontaneous and stepping away from her typical routines.
As every school has a girl whos main goal is to simply ruin any other girls life who seems threatening, Gloria is the storys antagonist.

Rhianon has just been dumped by her boyfriend for no apparent reason. She is beyond devastated. She just doesn't understand why Steve would just break up with her. The worst part is she wants Steve back, but it seems he doesn't feel the same way about Rhianon.


Nicole is her own kind of person. No one's like her, but they all admire her. She has just dumped her boyfriend and only she knows why. Danny was the sweetest boy that Nicole had ever met, but then things started getting too serious for her and she just had to end it. Quickly moving on she soon has a new crush.



James is a computer geek who's Rhianon's best friend....but he so wishes it were more. His best friend just happens to be the same Danny that Nicole just dumped, and he knows that Danny still wants Nicole back.


Set during one hectic week of these three friend's lives, Take Me There is the ultimate teen novel. What starts as a horrible week, ends up turning into one heck of a roller coaster ride. Told from all three people's perspective we learn all of the dastardly deeds and heartbreaking moments each character experiences.


This was one of the cutest books I've ever read. Each part of the story was told three times, but by a different character which made the book really interesting. It also allowed the reader to learn secrets about the other characters and made previous events that had happened make sense. This was the first time I've ever read a book told like this, and I loved it. I also really enjoyed how all the characters seemed so real. Nicole is the best friend who will always help you up when your down, but will never accept your help, and Rhianon is the smart organized, super nice girl in all of your classes. As for James, I totally have a crush on him. He seems like the sweetest guy who any girl would die to have. There is nothing that I didn't like about this book, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good, heartwarming read. I definitely look forward to ready more of Susane Colasanti's novels.
