Members Reviews:

Open ending. :-(

This was a drama-filled YA romance. It is a long listen but is needed to understand the drama to all of the characters. This was not a cliff hanger but an ending that YOU (the reader) must decide how it ended. No epilogue. For the drama, intensity and open ending, I gave it 3 stars. Narration was fantastic! Worth my credit? I would wait for a sale but not use a credit.

Publisher's Summary:

A smart and swoony debut novel for fans for Stephanie Perkins and Jenny Han.

Sophia Wachowski has seven days left in Tokyo before she moves back to the States for her senior year of high school. Seven days to say good-bye to the electric city she's called home for years, to eat at every ramen shop she can find, to sing endless karaoke with her wild best friend, and to finally tell her crush she's in love with him. Seven perfect days....until Jamie Foster-Collins moves back to Japan and ruins everything.

Three years ago Jamie left for boarding school in the States, but not before he crushed Sophia's heart, and she hasn't spoken to him since. Now the last thing she wants is for him to steal her leaving thunder with his stupid arriving thunder. But hating Jamie is a lot harder than it used to be. For starters, he's a lot less awkward than she remembers...and a lot cuter. And as the relationships she thought were stable begin to explode around her, Jamie is the one person left for her to lean on. Sophia is forced to admit she may have misjudged Jamie, but can their seven short days of Tokyo adventures end in anything but good-bye?

A funny and poignant debut novel filled with first kisses and second chances.

Critic Reviews:

"Seven Days of You is a deliciously fizzy, neon-bright romance: a swoony tangle of past and future, love and friendship, and what exactly it means to be home." (Katie Cotugno, New York Times best-selling author of 99 Days)

"This dazzling and genuinely romantic story shows just how much your life can change in the course of a single week." (Jennifer E. Smith, author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight)

"This highly readable novel about finding home and discovering oneself will have fans of Stephanie Perkins's Anna and the French Kiss swooning." (School Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

Fun and heartfelt.

What an absolute treat! A loving portrait of the heartbreak, fickleness, joy, pettiness, pain, and general exuberance of the teenage-girl experience. It was also enjoyable seeing American teenage tropes displaced into a Tokyo setting -- of course even across the world, these kids are sitting around a playground eating (Japanese) junk food. Some things are universal.

Very nice read - Tokyo Johnny

Fantastic story about living abroad that faithfully captures the dynamic of living in Tokyo. The novel becomes increasingly more tightly wound as the protagonist's time in Tokyo ticks to zero.

A fun taste of Tokyo!

This book is a super cute read that tugs at your heartstrings and digs into some deeper issues without getting too heavy. It features friendships and family relationships and romance all set against the backdrop of Tokyo.

What Fed My Addiction:

Japan!

Like I said, Iâm fascinated, so I kind of loved this little peek into an ex-patâs life in Japan. We got seven days and nights of karaoke, train rides, Japanese food, and moreâit was a fun glimpse at life in Tokyo. I also enjoyed learning a bit about how the school system works for foreigners in Japan and how an ex pat teenagerâs life might look (and since Vinesse actually was one, I feel like we probably got a pretty realistic POV). I pretty much loved the setting for this book!

Evolving friendships.

Sophia feels like she knows where she stands with her two best friends.

Title: Ronit & Jamil

Author: Pamela L. Laskin

Narrator: Nira Amiel, Assaf Cohen, Aylam Orian

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-21-17

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship

Publisher's Summary:

Pamela L. Laskin's beautiful and lyrical novel in verse delivers a fresh and captivating retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet that transports the star-crossed lovers to the modern-day Israel-Palestine conflict.

Ronit, an Israeli girl, lives on one side of the fence. Jamil, a Palestinian boy, lives on the other side. Only miles apart but separated by generations of conflict - much more than just the concrete blockade between them. Their fathers, however, work in a distrusting but mutually beneficial business arrangement, a relationship that brings Ronit and Jamil together. And lightning strikes. The kind of lightning that transcends barrier fences, war, and hatred.

The teenage lovers fall desperately into the throes of forbidden love, one that would create an irreparable rift between their families if it were discovered. But a love this big can be kept secret for only so long. Ronit and Jamil must face the fateful choice to save their lives or their love, as it may not be possible to save both.

Members Reviews:

Beautiful, provocative read

Very intriguing version of this classic story. Loved so many of the poems, especially when Laskin created pairs, which showed how similar each side was to the other. Wish it were longer! Beautiful and very thoughtful, with a good message.

Didn't do enough research on this one...

I didn't do enough research about this book before pre-ordering. The idea of a new Romeo and Juliet between an Israeli girl and Palestinian boy was intriguing. The political aspects and the romance aspects were such that I was convinced I wanted to see how the author handled it. I did not, however, realize that Ms. Laskin is a poet.

I am not a huge fan of poetry. (Except Lord Byron's. I like Byron.)

Having paid for the book, I was determined to read it. It didn't take me too long, and I got confused as to who was speaking sometimes. It was repetitive, but I think the repetition is important, as part of the point of the story seems to be to highlight how similar both Ronit & Jamil are, and how similar their families are, despite the gulfs between them. The political exploration was even-handed, with appropriate, I thought, world views expressed. The Romeo and Juliet theme carried through, with what seemed like heavy borrowing from the classic in places.

My overall impression is disappointment, and not simply because I was looking forward to a meaty story. The poetry is specific, evocative...even simplistic at times. It's repetitive, and yet somehow lacking in detail. The book isn't the deep, character- and setting-rich novel that I was expecting -- and wanting -- to read.

Five Stars

I loved this book I thought it was a beautiful retelling of Romeo and Juliet...And just perfect

A must-read!

This beautiful, modern-day love story (a retelling of Romeo and Juliet) will draw you in immediately with its spare and often searingly evocative poetry. Israeli and Palestinian teens, Ronit and Jamil, tell their stories in alternating poems, which function as a literary pas de deux, tracing the arc of their forbidden love affair.

Title: The Last True Love Story

Author: Brendan Kiely

Narrator: Kirby Heyborne

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-14-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship

Publisher's Summary:

From the critically acclaimed author of The Gospel of Winter and the coauthor of All American Boys comes a cool, contemplative spin on hot summer nights and the classic teen love story as two teens embark on a cross-country journey of the heart and soul.

The point of living is learning how to love.

That's what Gpa says. To Hendrix and Corrina, both 17 but otherwise alike only in their loneliness, that sounds like another line from a pop song that tries to promise kids that life doesn't actually suck. Okay, so: love. Sure.

The thing about Corrina - her adoptive parents are suffocating, trying to mold her into someone acceptable, predictable, like them. She's a musician, itching for any chance to escape, become the person she really wants to be. Whoever that is.

And Hendrix, he's cool. Kind of a poet. But also kind of lost. His dad is dead, and his mom is married to her job. Gpa is his only real family, but he's fading fast from Alzheimer's. Looking for any way to help the man who raised him, Hendrix has made Gpa an impossible promise - that he'll get him back east to the hill where he first kissed his wife, before his illness wipes away all memory of her.

One hot July night, Hendrix and Corrina decide to risk everything. They steal a car, spring Gpa from his assisted living facility, stuff Old Humper the dog into the backseat, and take off on a cross-country odyssey from LA to NY. With their parents, Gpa's doctors, and the police all hot on their heels, Hendrix and Corrina set off to discover for themselves if what Gpa says is true - that the only stories that last are love stories.

Members Reviews:

A True Love Story

I'm a huge fan of young adult literature. 4 out of 5 books that I read are written for younger audiences, but honestly, they're my favorite books to read, perhaps because so many of them really touch on real life issues. The Last True Love Story is a story about just that: love. But it's not the story you might expect. Yes, a young romance does blossom between Teddy (Hendrix) and Corrina. But to me, the true love story is the one that exists between Teddy and his ailing grandfather, Gpa, and Gpa and his late wife.

Anyone who has known and loved someone diagnosed with Alzheimer's knows what a devastating and cruel disease it can be. It steals everything most precious to the individual; memories, recognition, a sense of awareness. And it steals the person away from his or her loved ones. In The Last True Love Story, Teddy breaks Gpa out of his assisted living facility to embark on a cross-country road trip with Corrina in an attempt to help Gpa relive his memories of Gma one last time.

This is a moving and deeply personal book, one that fans of young adult literature and I think particularly fans of John Green, will enjoy and appreciate.

What a beautiful story of love across the generations

What a beautiful story of love across the generations! Kiely deftly captures the complexities of love from various perspectives in life in prose that is both elegant and accessible. The three main characters, the teenagers Hendrix and Corrina and the grandfather GPA, are all well-developed as the novel moves towards a satisfying conclusion.

Members Reviews:

Yet another great book by M. J. Beaufrand. I recommend that you read all of her books.

Yet another great book by Ms. Beaufrand. I loved it! Love the characters and the story line.

Cute and quaint mystery.

A charming little mystery with a beautiful backdrop and an intriguing set of quintuplets. Almost felt southern gothic, but set in the Pacific Northwest, instead.

I was surprised to see this described as a 'gritty, psychological thriller' here on the goodreads page. This is neither gritty, psychological, nor thrilling. It's the type of mystery you would have read as a child on summer break, grabbing a book and climbing up a tree to read all afternoon in its branches. The narrator's friendly tone, their awe and respect for the rugged coast they call home, and the quaint strangeness of the Gray quintuplets feels nostalgic and welcoming.

A warning for animal lovers - some bad things do happen. But its handled in a way that feels respectful, and the protagonist deals with it in a healthy and responsive manner. I usually cannot tolerate any hint of bad things happening to animals, and was surprised at my reaction to it in this book. Somehow, maybe the way the character reacts, or maybe just the respectful manner of the book towards nature overall, softened the blow and made it easier to move on.

A quaint, charming and nostalgic little mystery that takes you away to a misty coast studded with trees.

Lame plot. This review has MASSIVE SPOILERS!

I hate mystery stories that make no sense after the mystery is solved. Useless Bay is that type of story - once the whodunnit is solved, the why-they-dunnit was ridiculous - the characters acted in a manner that allowed the plot to advance, but the reason for these actions was completely illogical or inexplicable.

I am going to describe some of these strange actions by the novel's characters, and so I am going to reveal most of the plot. There are MAJOR SPOILERS in the following paragraphs. Do not read this review if you intend to read this book.

The central crime of this novel is the murder of Lyudmila (wife of zillionaire Mr. Shepherd) by Joyce (administrative secretary of Mr Shepherd) because Joyce wants to become Mr Shepherd's next wife. Joyce strangles Lyudmila, but the murder is witnessed by 11 yr old Grant Shepherd. Grant is so traumitized by the strangulation of his mother, that he asks Pixie to row him across Useless Bay - but he doesn't tell Pixie what he saw (why not?). Pixie rows part way across the Bay, and then turns around and rows back, not learning why Grant is upset. Grant then goes to his sister Meredith and Pixie's brother Sammy, and tells THEM about the murder.

Publisher's Summary:

Is first love forever?

Twenty-five year old Jessica Fowler has lived with the regret of the love she abandoned. Her heart still belongs to the boy she fell in love with in high school, but she's come to accept that she can never regain the love she lost.

Kyle Andersen has moved to a new city and is determined to make a new life for himself, but he still feels incomplete. He's never gotten over the girl who broke his heart when he was just 15, and the love he still feels for her anchors him to his past.

On the same night, the two remember each other, and they think back to that one year in high school that came to define their lives.

This is their story.

Set at boarding school in Switzerland, Scars of Youth is the emotional first book in a unique series about the power of first love and second chances.

If you like tender romances full of emotion, love, and heartbreak then you'll love this heartfelt and moving tale of two teens who find true love together, and the scars that their youth carves into their hearts.

Members Reviews:

Love, Hard Rock and Growing Up At a Boarding School in Switzerland

Scars of Youth is a high school romance with a twist - a unique setting in a boarding school in Switzerland. Many of the students also have a shared background living in Saudi Arabia (or just "Saudi") and in the United States before then. The result in this story about two high school students who fall in love is a strongly knit social group teenagers with common geographic and life experiences.

Kyle and Jessica, who alternate first-person narration throughout the story, find themselves experiencing a budding romance despite the fact that Jessica is a "senior". Although a two-year difference between lovers may not be significant for people later in life, the fact that it is a reality to the two lovers and their friends reminds the reader that this is a story of youth. Their shared love of hard rock and metal music and mutual coming-of-age experiences drinking a variety of beer help focus this tale of attraction, misunderstanding and fun. Complicating the evolution of the romance is Kyle's best friend Jen (known as "Beautiful Girl") who is close enough to Kyle to cause Jessica frustration.

This edition of Scars of Youth (I) is intended as the first part of the story of Jessica and Kyle. The second edition is already available on Amazon for readers interested in seeing where their relationship goes next. I was glad to have a chance to read it and would recommend it to readers of coming-of-age or young romance stories.

Worth Reading

Take a bunch of teenagers at boarding school in Switzerland, add in minimal adult supervision and alcohol, and you get a novel full of lust, love, angst, and sex. Thatâs basically Scars of Youth. And it reminds me why Iâm the meanest parent in town because I insist on a curfew for my teenage daughter.

I had a couple of reservations about Scars of Youth. Itâs written as a Young Adult novel, but set in 1985. I was a teenager in 1985, so I enjoyed that apsect. But Iâm not sure how interested modern teens are in reading such âold schoolâ stuff. My teenager daughter is all into modern (John Green, Jojo Moyes) or dystopian (Divergent, Hunger Games).

Also, the writing style is a lot darker and more gritty than the boarding school stories I remember reading in 1985 (e.g. Anne Digbyâs Trebizon series. Yes, I remember 1985).

Title: They Call Me Alexandra Gastone

Language: English

Release date: 01-20-17

Publisher: Full Fathom Five

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Teens, Mysteries & Thrillers

Publisher's Summary:

When your life is a lie, how do you know what's real?

Alexandra Gastone has a simple plan: graduate high school, get into Princeton, work for the CIA, and serve her great nation.

She was told the plan back when her name was Milena Rokva, back before the real Alexandra and her family were killed in a car crash.

Milena was trained to be a sleeper agent by Perun, a clandestine organization from her true homeland of Olissa. There, Milena learned everything she needed to infiltrate the life of CIA analyst Albert Gastone, Alexandra's grandfather, and the ranks of America's top intelligence agency.

For seven years, "Alexandra" has been on standby and life's been good. Grandpa Albert loves her, and her strategically chosen boyfriend, Grant, is amazing.

But things are about to change. Perun no longer needs her at the CIA in five years' time. They need her active now.

Between her cover as a high school girl - juggling a homecoming dance, history reports, and an increasingly suspicious boyfriend - and her mission in this high-stakes spy game, the boundaries of her two lives are beginning to blur.

Will she stay true to the country she barely remembers, or has her loyalty shattered along with her identity?

Members Reviews:

Well that was a great twist

Would you consider the audio edition of All Fall Down to be better than the print version?

Yes. The emotions that a narrator brings are amazing.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jameson. I think he did everything he could and all that was expected of him.

Which scene was your favorite?

The last party confrontation!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Well, the ending was a little emotional. I think it was a perfect resolution and I started to see it coming in book one but the way it was written did have me second guessing myself.

Any additional comments?

This trilogy is well worth the price.
