Cali

I'm back in Cali from my vacation during the summer. School has started and I officially read 41 books this summer. I am so happy, I reached my goal.

In the car ride back to Cali I read two books, If I Told You I Love You, Then I'd Have To Kill You by Ally Carter and Along For The Ride by Sarah Dessen.

If I Told You I Love You, Then I'd Have To Kill You by Ally Carter was an okay book it wasn't really good an it wasn't bad. I think it lacked a lot of pow. In give it 3 stars, but I don't recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read.

Along For The Ride by Sarah Dessen on the other hand was a really good book. I stayed up all night reading it not wanting to read it. I complement the author on her writing styles of hers, and I am definintely a fan of hers now. The book was about a girl named Auden who never slept at night. Ever since her parents' divorce - or since the fighting started. Then she choses to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the charming beach town where they live.

A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she's been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for the death of a friend.

In her signature pitch-perfect style, Sarah Dessen explores the hearts of two lonely
people learning to connect.

I give it five out of five stars. It was a really good book, and I recommend this to every this book to everyone looking for a gut-wrencher.
