A quick read with a good message, but it gets muddled along the way

I felt like this book was written for a much younger audience than a lot of other YA, which is fine, but it surprised me a bit. This one was a really quick read, though... took maybe an hour, hour and a half to read altogether.

I felt like this book set out to send out a message to its readers, so things like characters weren't given a lot of thought. They don't have much depth, and there's not a whole lot of character development and whatnot here. But I also kind of felt that toward the end of the book, the message wasn't so much about cheating, but about the consequences of doing whatever it takes to get what you want without regard for others. I thought that was a message worth expressing, but since it was muddled up with cheating, it left me a little conflicted and confused.

I didn't really know a whole lot about this book or the author when I picked it up - just spotted it in the new eBooks at the library and figured I would pick it up when I was done with the book I had been reading. It was definitely on the lighter side of things tone-wise compared to the other books I've read lately, so that was a nice change for me. I definitely would have liked more development all around, though, to make things feel more authentic, instead of a bit of a vessel for the author's message.

I enjoyed the book well enough, having read it in one sitting, and would be interested in reading more of Butcher's books in the future, despite having mixed feelings about this one.

Who's the biggest cheat?

Laurel is an aspiring journalist. She see two students cheating on a test and then gets a tip that a bigger cheating scandal is taking place on her high school campus. Although repeatedly told to back off the story, she forges on with her investigation, losing friends along the way. She is shocked to learn the identity of the person in charge of the cheating ring--someone she knows very well. Laurel comes to realize that the consequences of following the trail to truth may not always be what's in her best interest. It was easy to get caught up in this book--enough suspense to keep the story moving briskly along. A good hi-low read for teens.

Title: The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett

Author: Chelsea Sedoti

Narrator: Jessica Almasy

Format: Unabridged

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 21 votes

Genres: Teens, Fiction & Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Hawthorn Creely is searching for the missing Lizzie Lovett, but she might just end up finding herself.

Hawthorn Creely doesn't fit in, and that was before she inserted herself into a missing persons investigation. She doesn't mean to interfere, but Lizzie's disappearance is the most fascinating mystery their town has ever had. And she's pretty sure Lizzie'll turn up at any moment, which means the time for speculation is now. So Hawthorn comes up with her own theory for Lizzie's disappearance. A theory way too absurd to take seriously at first. To prove she's right, Hawthorn hunts for evidence by immersing herself in Lizzie's life. Taking the job and boyfriend of a missing person might seem kind of dangerous, but it may just be the push Hawthorn needs to find her own place in the world.

Members Reviews:

Couldn't Connect with Hawthorne

This book was weird, and I did not connect with the main character. The narrator was good, which is probably why I continued to listen. Iâm giving this 1 out of 5 stars.

So this book was a Big Library Read, which is why I finally listened to the audiobook. I figured if they liked it so much to promote it through that program, and because of the many 4-5 star reviews on Goodreads, Iâd enjoy it. Nope, unfortunately not.

If Iâd tried another format besides the audiobook, this would probably be a DNF book. I just couldnât connect with Hawthorne. Maybe for a couple pages in the middle, and then the last 1 1/2 chapters, but that doesnât make a huge fangirl out of a reader. And I didnât really love any of the other characters either.

I can appreciate weirdness and/or differentness, but this book was too far out there for me. And I felt like nothing was really happening for a good deal of the book besides Hawthorneâs theories about Lizzie Lovett. She felt pretty obsessed to me.

All I can say is if you want, give this one a try for yourself. I almost always have similar ratings on books weâve both read with one Goodreads friend, but she gave this 5 stars. Like the publishing world says, itâs subjective.

Perfect Timing

Depression hits people so hard this time of year. Reading this book made me undoubtedly realize that just because someone appears to have it all together doesnât mean they really do.

Funny and fresh

From the very start, The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett feels fresh, humorous, and unique. The main character, Hawthorn, is delightful to follow as she tries to solve a local mystery while also navigating the perilous seas of personal relationships. I read this book in two days and would recommend it to anyone!

Good read

This book captured all the angst of high school as well as the drama of family life. Enjoyable reading experience

Can You Stalk A Missing Person?

The blurbs make this sound like the story of a slightly odd misfit who immerses herself in the life of a missing girl in order to solve the mystery of the girl's disappearance. Sort of a teenage angst version of the movie "Laura", ("A police detective falls in love with the woman whose murder he is investigating."), but with a seventeen year old girl taking the Dana Andrews part. Now that's a book I'd enjoy. But it's not this book.

In this book we get an angsty whiner who is mean, rude, thoughtless, self-absorbed, and sour enough to end up as a high school outcast.

Title: All in Pieces

Author: Suzanne Young

Narrator: Arden Hammersmith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-08-16

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes

Genres: Teens, Fiction & Literature

Publisher's Summary:

From New York Times best-selling author Suzanne Young comes a heartrending new novel about a girl struggling to deal with anger issues while taking care of her younger brother with special needs.

"Anger-management issues."

That's how they classified Savannah Sutton after she stuck a pencil in her ex-boyfriend's hand because he mocked her little brother, Evan, for being disabled. That's why they sent her to Brooks Academy - an alternative high school that's used as a temporary detention center.

The days at Brooks are miserable, but at home, life is far more bleak. Savvy's struggling to take care of her brother since her mom left years ago, and her alcoholic dad can't be bothered. Life with Evan is a constant challenge, but he's also the most important person in the world to Savvy.

Then there's Cameron, a new student at Brooks with issues of his own - a guy from a perfect family that Savvy thought existed only on TV. Cameron seems determined to break through every one of the walls Savvy's built around herself, except if she lets herself trust him, it could make everything she's worked so hard for fall apart in an instant.

And with her aunt seeking custody of her brother and her ex-boyfriend seeking revenge, Savvy's fighting to hold all the pieces together. But she's not sure how much tighter she can be pulled before she breaks completely.

Members Reviews:

Fantastic

This was my first book from author Suzanne Young and it definitely won't be my last. I really enjoyed this one and I can't wait to get my hands on more from her.

The life of Savannah Sutton hasn't been and easy one and at time my heart broke for her. She's dealt with and is dealing with a lot in this book and I liked that no matter what life threw at her she picked herself up and kept persevering. I admire her and wish I was more like her.

Multi Layered and Beautifully Written

I was already a fan of Suzanne Young's work based on The Program series so I had great hopes for All in Pieces. This one is very different from that series in that the story is contemporary and a true slice of life. The simple description is that it is the story of a girl with "anger management issues" who is sent to a special school after stabbing someone with a pencil. We think know right away why she did it but part of the appeal of Suzanne Young's writing is that the story is multi layered--there is so much depth to this story and the reasons are not as simple as they initially seem. I am an adult and confess that this book brought up some strong emotions. The characters are all flawed, just like in real life. I hate the YA trend of having characters that are so perfect that they don't resemble anyone in real life. This story felt authentic. Well worth the credit!

Best Book Ever!

Words can't describe this book enough todo it justice. A must read for abuse survivors!

Publisher's Summary:

Friday Night Lights meets Jane Austen's Emma in this wonderful novel about a big election, big games, the big state of Texas, and a little romance.

As a congressman's daughter in Washington, DC, Kate Hamilton is good at getting what she wants - what some people might call "interfering". But when her family moves to West Texas so her dad can run in a special election, Kate encounters some difficulties that test all her political skills. None of her matchmaking efforts go according to plan. Her father's campaign gets off to a rough start. A pro tip for moving to Texas: Don't slam the star quarterback's hand in a door. And whenever Kate messes up, the irritatingly right (and handsome) Hunter Price is there to witness it. But Kate has determination and a good heart, and with all her political savvy - and a little clever interference - she'll figure out what it takes to make Red Dirt home.

Terrifically funny and sweetly romantic, with whip-crack dialogue and a wise perspective on growing up, Interference is the perfect next listen for fans of Jenny Han, Huntley Fitzpatrick, Elizabeth Eulberg, or Sarah Dessen.

much better than I thought it'd be

but it's just because I'm not used to this genre. Wonderfully narrated, written very well. I recommend it.

Mind blowing narration

once I heard that this book was a retelling of one of my favorite books ( Emma by Jane Austen) I knew I had to read it as soon as possible and it was a really fun ride for me .. I enjoyed the story line and the similarities and originality of the story, I liked the characters and I felt they were so natural and they had so much depth I couldn't help but to love them .. the dynamics in the dialogues was amazing and most importantly .. the narration was EXCELLENT .. she is really talented and I'm really curios to pick up more of titles she narrated because she have such a wide range of voices .. I do recommend this book if you like Emma :)

Ah-Mazing! Loved!

This book is a lot like Emma. It's Smart, witty, and educational. It is very entertaining the entire way through. Even though I know how Emma ends, I couldn't wait to read the next chapter. Was sad when it was over. Great book!

Publisher's Summary:

Bo Dickinson is a girl with a wild reputation, a deadbeat dad, and a mama who's not exactly sober most of the time. Everyone in town knows the Dickinsons are a bad lot, but Bo doesn't care what anyone thinks.

Agnes Atwood has never gone on a date, never even stayed out past 10, and never broken any of her parents' overbearing rules. Rules that are meant to protect their legally blind daughter - protect her from what, Agnes isn't quite sure.

Despite everything, Bo and Agnes become best friends. And it's the sort of friendship that runs truer and deeper than anything else. So when Bo shows up in the middle of the night, with police sirens wailing in the distance, desperate to get out of town, Agnes doesn't hesitate to take off with her. But running away and not getting caught will require stealing a car, tracking down Bo's dad, staying ahead of the authorities, and - worst of all - confronting some ugly secrets.

Members Reviews:

I don't usually read contemporary but...

Holy smokes, this book is amazing. The narrative style, going back and forth between Bo and Agnes is incredibly well done and a fresh way to tell the story. I was hooked from the beginning and will be recommending this book to anyone I can.

really loved the narration

Narration for the two characters was really well done in this audiobook. it added a lot to the story.

Not you classic coming of age

First off, the narration was damn-near perfect. They each had a unique southern twang that set apart the characters almost effortlessly, and they each sounded authentic.

Second, I got this book expecting there to be a coming out story of some sort, but this is not the case at all. This is perhaps the first young adult novel I've found where the sexual identity (in this case, bisexuality) of a character isn't the thing that drives the plot, and it was a stunning change of pace. I really enjoyed the differing perspectives, as each side of the story is being told through a different point in time, Agne tells about how her and Bo became friends, and Bo explaining what's happening after they've already left Mercy.

Overall a well-written text and story. I'm an up-and-coming ELA educator, and this is definitely a text I look forward to adding to my classroom bookshelf (once I buy a paperback!) would highly recommend to any young person who wants an exciting story (with some cussing here and there too!)

A must for Geek Girl Fans!

Review: I love a Geek Girl book, you know I love Harriet Manners, this book was the usual mix of fun, frolics and fashion in a way like you've never seen it before that you can come to expect from a Holly Smale Novel (I'm already reading the next one!) Harriet is Harriet and she really was classically herself in this novel. Her group of Freinds, as well as her family, have expanded and so it was really interesting to see how all the new characters react to each other and gel together. I really enjoyed seeing Rin come into the group and explore how she got on with Toby and Nat and Jasper. There was also another member of the group who turns out to be not quite what Hariet expected her to be. Harriet's younger sister also plays a major role in this novel, which was really fun, I hope she's going to play as big a part in future novels too!

Of course this novel has some modelling in, why couldn't it, and you know that that means favourite character of mine Wilbur is involved too! I love Wilbur and he has a bit of a crisis on his hands in this book, but never fear, Harriet is here! I really enjoyed the fact that Harriet seems to have a bit of a transformation when it comes to modelling in this novel, it has been lovely to see her evolution, when it comes to the fashion industry across the books and the series as a whole and this book feels somewhat final in that, but I'm sure it won't be!

Of course there were some laughs in this novel, there always are where Geek Girl is involved! I have to say, it seems a little more serious than previous novels, perhaps because Harriet and the gang are growing up, I laughed less but I still laughed! In terms of whether you could read this books as a standalone or not...I really don't think it would work as well as some of the earlier a as standalones. There is mention of other characters and events that have gone before and so I think you would really need to have read the others in order to enjoy this one.

Title: The Haters

Author: Jesse Andrews

Narrator: Michael Crouch

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-05-16

Publisher: Listening Library

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 46 votes

Genres: Teens, Fiction & Literature

Publisher's Summary:

From Jesse Andrews, author of the New York Times best-selling Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and screenwriter of the Sundance award-winning motion picture of the same name, comes a groundbreaking young adult novel about music, love, friendship, and freedom as three young musicians follow a quest to escape the law long enough to play the amazing show they hope (but also doubt) they have in them.

Inspired by the years he spent playing bass in a band himself, The Haters is Jesse Andrews' road trip adventure about a trio of jazz camp escapees who, against every realistic expectation, become a band.

For Wes and his best friend, Corey, jazz camp turns out to be lame. It's pretty much all dudes talking in jazz voice. But then they jam with Ash, a charismatic girl with an unusual sound, and the three just click. It's three and a half hours of pure musical magic, and Ash makes a decision: They need to hit the road. Because the road, not summer camp, is where bands get good. Before Wes and Corey know it, they're in Ash's SUV heading south, and The Haters' Summer of Hate Tour has begun.

In his second novel, Andrews again brings his brilliant and distinctive voice to YA, in the perfect book for music lovers, fans of The Commitments and High Fidelity, or anyone who has ever loved - and hated - a song or a band. This witty, funny coming-of-age novel is contemporary fiction at its best.

Members Reviews:

The Haters

This book, though extremely profane, kept me extremely entertained and had me laughing out loud at parts. I personally know know nothing about music but still understood every aspect of the book. The narrator does a fantastic job creating the character of Wes in my head exactly the way I want him to be. I couldn't stop listening to this book and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves humorous books or ones of friendship and constant new experiences! By far I would give the book a 10 out of 10.

Good performance

So I really liked this audiobook. The story itself seemed a bit much at times, and the sex scene was unnecessary, but I liked the story and listening to the characters progress.

Title: Seven Ways We Lie

Language: English

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 79 votes

Genres: Teens, Fiction & Literature

Publisher's Summary:

In Seven Ways We Lie, a chance encounter tangles the lives of seven high school students, each resisting the allure of one of the seven deadly sins and all telling their stories from their seven distinct points of view.

The juniors at Paloma High School all have their secrets, whether it's the thespian who hides her trust issues onstage, the closeted pansexual who cares only about his drug-dealing profits, or the neurotic genius who's planted the seed of a school scandal. But it's Juniper Kipling who has the furthest to fall. No one would argue that Juniper - obedient daughter, salutatorian, natural beauty, and loyal friend - is anything but perfect. Everyone knows she's a saint, not a sinner; but when love is involved, who is Juniper to resist temptation? When she begins to crave more and more of the one person she can't have, her charmed life starts to unravel.

Then rumors of a student-teacher affair hit the fan. After Juniper accidentally exposes her secret at a party, her fate falls into the hands of the other six sinners, bringing them into one another's orbits. All seven are guilty of something. Together they could save one another from their temptations - or be ruined by them.

Riley Redgate's twisty YA debut effortlessly weaves humor, heartbreak, and redemption into a drama that fans of Jenny Han and Stephanie Perkins will adore.

good read

captivating & fun, a real book with the teens of today's plight done tastefully bravo!

Wow

Holy shit this was the best book I've listened to in awhile. Every narrator is perfect (although Lucas sounds more like an adult man than any teenage boy) and the story unfolds beautifully.

Stereotypical voices killed it

I wanted to like this book. I really love YA, and was intrigued by the concept of showing the seven deadly sins through young narrators. However I couldn't keep listening after the second overly-stereotypical narrator started reading. I barely made it through the "yeeahhhh maaaan" stoner voice which over-emphasized every syllable, but once the "nerd voice" (complete with the sound of a stuffed nose and shrillness that almsot hurt my ears) began, I had to turn off the book--something I never do.

99% of the time, I will hold out until the end of a book or movie because despite any flaws, I love the craft and want to see what the writer does next. However these narrators made good writing sound impossibly false.

I would be interested in the print version of this story, because I think the writer certainly has talent (even though I was slightly underwhelmed by the approaches to suspense, though I can't really speak to that because I didnt get far enough in). However, I think the wrong narrators were chosen, making even the main concept of the sins manifested in people more in-your-face than masterfully crafted in.

Something different

I really enjoyed this. The readers voice for one of the guys was almost unbearable but the story was worth it.

funny but serious

this book has hilarious parts but it also address is very serious issues. this book is a lot of nothing but also a lot of something all rolled into one book. it was really easy to read with sarcasm and lightness. I really enjoyed it.

Publisher's Summary:

Ten years ago, God gave Braden a sign, a promise that his family wouldn't fall apart the way he feared.

But Braden got it wrong: His older brother, Trey, has been estranged from the family for almost as long, and his father, the only parent Braden has ever known, has been accused of murder. The arrest of Braden's father, a well-known Christian radio host, has sparked national media attention. His fate lies in his son's hands; Braden is the key witness in his father's upcoming trial.

Braden has always measured himself through baseball. He is the star pitcher in his small town of Ornette, and his 94-mile-per-hour pitch already has minor league scouts buzzing in his junior year. Now the rules of the sport that has always been Braden's saving grace are blurred in ways he never realized, and the prospect of playing against Alex Reyes, the nephew of the police officer his father is accused of killing, is haunting his every pitch.

Braden faces an impossible choice, one that will define him for the rest of his life, in this brutally honest debut novel about family, faith, and the ultimate test of conviction.

Critic Reviews:

"Both hopeful and devastatingly real." (Kirkus)

"A poignant look at the messiness of love, faith, and humanity." (School Library Journal)

"Gilbert respectfully and sensitively handles themes of faith, religion, and family.... [A] moving debut." (Booklist)

Baseball, Religion & Brothers Collide

If you could sum up Conviction in three words, what would they be?

Foul Flawed Father

What did you like best about this story?

I read this book for 2 reasons - first as part of the Hub Reading Challenge and Morris Award and second as part of the #yearofya April mystery month - this book I listened to is recommended for lovers of Harlan Coben's psychological thrillers. And boy do I agree! The narration by Michael Crouch was oh so awesome! I could not stop listening as teen Braden tells of his life with his father who is a powerful (and very flawed) religious speaker and his passion for baseball and God. He also tugs at your heart when he describes how his brother Trey (also flawed but due to father calling him "a bad person" his whole life) abandons him and he yearns for his companionship over the years. There is an accident and Braden's dad is arrested for killing a policeman with his car and Braden is key to his father's defense. When Trey comes home as his guardian, there is so much anguish in that house; I hoped for redemption for Trey and Braden. But Gilbert's debut is an awesome, anguishing look at the secrets and perverseness of religion and families/fathers. Loved this book but ached for Braden, such a sympathetic character.

Publisher's Summary:

When 16-year-old Amanda Verner's family decides to move from their small mountain cabin to the vast prairie, she hopes it is her chance for a fresh start. She can leave behind the memory of the past winter; of her sickly ma giving birth to a baby sister who cries endlessly; of the terrifying visions she saw as her sanity began to slip, the victim of cabin fever; and, most of all, of the boy she has been secretly meeting with as a distraction from her pain. The boy whose baby she now carries.

When the Verners arrive at their new home, a large cabin abandoned by its previous owners, they discover the inside covered in blood. And as the days pass, it is obvious to Amanda that something isn't right on the prairie. She's heard stories of lands being tainted by evil, of men losing their minds and killing their families, and there is something strange about the doctor and his son who live in the woods on the edge of the prairie. But with the guilt and shame of her sins weighing on her, Amanda can't be sure if the true evil lies in the land or deep within her soul.

Little House on the Prairie meets Stephen King

I saw this book described as this and had to give it a try - it definitely did not disappoint! It was scary, but not over the top and the Jorjeana Marie was the perfect choice as a narrator. I did feel the ending was a bit rushed, but overall this one hooked me and I enjoyed every minute!
