" Once upon a time, two best friends created a princess together. Libby drew the pictures, May wrote the tales, and their heroine, Princess X, slayed all the dragons and scaled all the mountains their imaginations could conjure.   Once upon a few years later, Libby was in the car with her mom, driving across the Ballard Bridge on a rainy night. When the car went over the side, Libby passed away, and Princess X died with her. Once upon a now: May is sixteen and lonely, wandering the streets of Seattle, when she sees a sticker slapped in a corner window. Princess X?  When May looks around, she sees the Princess everywhere: Stickers. Patches. Graffiti. There's an entire underground culture, focused around a webcomic at IAmPrincessX.com. The more May explores the webcomic, the more she sees disturbing similarities between Libby's story and Princess X online. And that means that only one person could have started this phenomenon---her best friend, Libby, who lives." R...

"Jane is ready for a fantastic summer. In fact, she's pretty sure the universe owes her one.  This pasted winter, Jane was held at knifepoint during an armed robbery, and the Spector of that night still haunts her. A summer romance with one of the town bad boys - sexy Handel Davies, who takes her breath away and makes her feel like a bolder version of herself - seems like the universe's way of paying her back. But bad boys always have secrets - and Handel's secret just might shatter Jane completely." Review: WTF KIND OF ENDING IS THAT. I was totally enamored with this story and then when it blew up, predictably so, I might add, it was shattered into a million pieces WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF PAGES. W.T.F. THERE WASN'T EVEN AN EPILOGUE. There better be a damn sequel. This book is an emotional hazard, I'm wreck right now. How do I write a review after that shit? Go read it and tell me you're just as upset as me because DAMN. 

"A beautiful and distinguished family. A private island. A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy. A group of four friends - the Liars - whose friendship turns destructive. A revolution. An accident. A secret, Lies upon lies. True love. The truth." Review: This was an unbelievable book; definitely in top five favorites now. This girl has wonderful memories of being on her grandfather's island and the mischievous fun she had with the Liars. Next thing you know she wakes up with Post Traumatic Amnesia and skull splitting migraines. she only remembers summer fifteen in fragments and nothing concrete. And everyone's lying. No one will tell her what happened. It's the best suspense novel I've ever read, and the ending had me in tears. I especially loved the vivid imagery. There's a part in the beginning where she talks about being shot by her dad and how her heart fell out of her chest and rolled into the bed of peonies in ...
