Lessons from a Dead Girl by Jo Knowles was a compelling read. The story follows a girl named Laine as she looks back on all the "lessons" her now-deceased "friend", Leah, had taught her. AS young girls, Leah would take Laine into a closet and "play" with her. After their playtime, Leah would often verbally bully Laine and often make remarks about how Laine liked what they did. Eventually, Laine had enough of Leah and even when Leah and Laine had grown apart, Leah continued to torment Laine. This book was really an eye-opener and shows just how destructive some friends can be.
Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of my favorite movies and Audrey Hepburn is one of my role models. When I came across this book, I was very excited. And I was not disappointed. Sam Wasson really digs deep into the making of Breakfast at Tiffany's and reveals information that I did not know. It was a great read and I would recommend it to any fan of Breakfast at Tiffany's or Audrey Hepburn.
I read this book because it was recommended to me many times. Although I loved Juli's character and her family, I really thought the rest of the book was lacking (especially in plot). It did not live up to the expectations I had for it.
I really enjoyed reading The Twin's Daughter. It was slow in the beginning, but after Part 1 the book picked up considerably. One seemingly normal day in early 1900s London, Lucy Sexton (age 13) opens her front door to find her mother in a completely disheveled state. However, she soon finds out it is not her mother, but her mother's twin with whom she was separated from at birth. Lucy begins to find herself not being able distinguish her mother from her aunt, which leads to more of the rising action in the novel.
On another front, as Lucy grows into a young woman, she falls for Kit Tyler. Kit lives next door and was a boy Lucy once hated.
I really thought I had this book figured out, but I was dead wrong. Lauren Baratz-Logsted did a brilliant job writing this novel.

Paper Towns is my fourth John Green book and I am definitely not disappointed. I loved Paper Towns. Quentin Jacobsen and Margo Roth Spiegelman grew up together in a subdivision in Orlando, Florida. One day when they were younger they find a dead man in a park and after that, go their separate ways. Fast forward to May of their senior year. Margo wakes Q up in the middle of the night stating that she needs a car and he needs to drive her. He agrees and they go on a journey that night. Once they arrive back home Q realizes he is in love with her and wants to know what she will say to him the next day after their crazy night out. However, Margo isn't at school. Her parents become worried. Margo has done this before so the police aren't concerned. Q sees that Margo left him some clues and he and his friends solve them on their quest to find Margo.
Paper Towns is an excellent read. Margo Roth Spiegelman is an itriguing character. This book is highly recommended.
