  Quentin lives a normal life.  His mom is a car mechanic so she gets worried about money.  When his friends brother can't break up with his girlfriend, Quentin decides to take the job for a little extra cash.  This little job turns into a big one when a rumor gets out that there's a "heartbreak messenger".  In the end, will Quentin find his own heart broken?

 

I really liked this book but there was something not right about it.  I liked it because it is about love.  I disliked this book because it had no excitement.

Bubble World

by Carol Snow

Rating: ***** (*******)

 

  Freesia Summers has THE LIFE.  She gets coffee, a gigantic wardrobe, and peacocks that sing her favorite songs to wake her up.  With no school (except cultural immersion class which is a free-for-all) she gets to shop all she wants with her best "friendly" Tellisa.  But lately things have been a little weird.  Sudden blackspots, students disappearing, and her reflection looking a bit . . .off, Fressia is getting a little worried.  But she decides to ignore those things for right now.  Unfortunately for her, these signs are more than random blips in the universe.  Freesia's perfect bubble is about to pop.

 

This book is awesome!  You've got to check it out.  The reason I liked this book is because in the beginning she is in the Agalinas and she is having "the life", and how she had a best friend in the real world who really wanted to be her friend and in the end she must decide to choose between friendship or popularity and spoilization.  I disliked this book because her parents make a poor decision to send Freesia away to a place where things may not seem as they appear.  I really, really liked this book and I hope you do too.
