The Thread

the plot is so relatable and interesting. I could not put it down for one second. Every character's story is interesting and i loved really getting to know all of them (through the book of course) It was one of the best books i've read in a long time in such a cool and modern format. For anyone looking for a great book, this is the one for you!!!!!!

Such a great book. Each character is very relatable and interesting. I love how it shows 4 different settings. Once i started it I couldn't put it down. I would definitely recommend it.

The Thread by Jane L. Rosen is a wonderful and unique YA story. The entire story is told as a Facebook thread among four girls who meet at summer camp. Their Facebook thread tells their story for their freshman year of high school until they get together again at camp.
This story took me by surprise - it was so fascinating and unique. Reading the Facebook thread of these 4 girls gives you so much insight into their lives. I felt a little stalker-ish reading it...but I couldn't put it down.
The girls used their Facebook thread to help and support each other since they didn't live close enough to see each other often. And the girls discussed everything about their lives in that Facebook thread. The talked about boys and family, shoplifting, everyday worries, and schoolwork. It shows how important friendship is, even long-distance friendship.
It was amazing seeing how much personality came out for each of the girls, based solely on what they wrote in the thread. Cameron was so independent and confident, and also sarcastic and opinionated. Talia was caring and worried about her little brother's medical issues. Emma was boy-crazy and dramatic. Sabrina was like the All-American girl-next-door -lived in the suburbs and active in sports and activities. Each girl was special and they all blended together to make this friendship work.
This is a sweet and poignant tale and I highly recommend it.
