Tan Lines by Katherine Applegate

I pick up the recent sequel to the book, Beach Blondies, and quickly buy it and sit down for another fun adventure for romance, anger, compassion, love, and drama. In this book, Tan Lines, is nothing like the title, but is about a girl named Summer, ironically in the season, summer.

The main character is a high school graduate that is with her boyfriend, Seth, in a tangle of a mess, and it's even worse when her ex-boyfriend's coming to where she's going to be staying for the summer; in Florida!

Thrown in between her loves, Summer struggles to keep her boyfriend while he's in California and keep her ex at bay in Florida, while also trying to help her brother clear a murder of which he was falsely blamed, and helping her anorexic friend.


This book is totally worth it, and I would recommend it to the people that like drama, because this book definitely made me want to throw it across the room (I hate drama) but for people, like me, who hate drama too, this would be a great book for you also to read because I learned a lot of lessons through this book.

The Last Invisible Boy by Evan Kuhlman

Evan Kuhlman will be releasing his second book in the fall of this year. It will be called The Last Invisible Boy. When I first picked up the advance reader’s copy I assumed that the narrator has some degree of identity crisis. But I was wrong.

Twelve-year-old Finn Garrett was just like any other kid, he had friends, family, and a father. All of a sudden, he lost his father and when he woke up the next day his entire body began turning pale white, right down to the roots of his hair!

Fearing that his invisibility will cause him to vanish anytime he begins working on these memoirs. The reader listens to the thoughts of Finn as he constructs ‘if then’ scenarios preventing his father’s passing. Searching through his mind, he tries to bring himself to understand what gone is and remembering the friendship and love of his father.

I give this book a five out of five and suggest it for anyone seeking healing through the loss of a loved one.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Movie Review

It's been a year since Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy have been to Narnia. But when they return, things are not as they seem. Centuries have passed in their absence, and Narnia is in a turmoil. The heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, is now fleeing for his life. Caspian and the queens and kings of Narnia of old will have to fight away a new evil, or lose Narnia as they know it.
I loved this movie!! It was engaging, interesting and the characters were awesome. I highly recommend it to everyone!!
5/5 stars
