Before I DieBefore I Die by Jenny Downham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Title – Before I die
Author – jenny downham
release date – May 26 , 2009
summary -Tessa has just months to live. Fighting back against hospital visits, endless tests, and drugs with excruciating side effects, Tessa compiles a list. It’s her To Do Before I Die list. And number one is Sex. Released from the constraints
of “normal” life, Tessa tastes new experiences to make her feel alive while her failing body struggles to keep up.

Tessa’s feelings, her relationships with her father and brother, her estranged mother, her best friend, and her new boyfriend, are all painfully crystallized in the precious weeks before Tessa’s time finally runs out.

review – This book made me cry so hard in many scenes I loved it so much though it’s about a girl named tessa she has cancer and has only months to live so she’s made a list of crazy things to do and she plans on doing them so her and her best friend Zoey go out and do crazy things like drugs and sex and this book isn’t just about a dying girl it’s about not taking things for granted moments memories she meets a boy Adam she tries just being friends with this boy but love doesn’t work that way I recommend this book it’s a tear jerker but really good .

Book Review : Ten things we did sara mlynowski

Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have)Ten Things We Did by Sarah Mlynowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Title – Ten things we did (and probably shouldn’t have)
Author – Sarah Mlynowwski
pages 368
release – June 7th 2011
Publisher haper teen

Summary -2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house – parents = 10 things April and her friends did that they (definitely, maybe, probably) shouldn’t have.

If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn’t jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe “opportunity” isn’t the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: “Lied to Our Parents”). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up “Skipping School” (#3), “Throwing a Crazy Party” (#8), “Buying a Hot Tub” (#4), and, um, “Harboring a Fugitive” (#7) at all is kind of a mystery to them.

In this hilarious and bittersweet tale, Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind of a girl on her own for the first time. To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart . . . one thing-she-shouldn’t-have-done at a time.

Review – When April’s Dad and Step mom tell her that she’s moving from Connecticut to ohio she is not pleased she would be loosing her boyfriend her friends and her life but then she subjects that she could live at Vi’s house for Junior year but it turns on that Vi’s mom is doing a play in Chicago so they lie make fake emails and mostly cause allot of drama April’s boyfriend Noah starts to act weird she befriends vi friend Hutson who so likes her and Vi tells april she’s a virgin and decided to have sex with Hutson’s brother Dean which is not good because Dean likes vi and vi isn’t looking for a boyfriend but when April finally sleeps with Noah things are still weird cause something bad happens and it ruins there relationship and Dean and vi get together which is so cute cause they finally admited it and hutson kisses April aw so cute and for senior year april moves to paris with her mom.
