Book Title: Vibes
Author: Amy Kathleen Ryan
Pages: 249
Rating: ***Liked it

Recommendation: This book should probably be read by s and I would defiantly recommend it to all teen age s. I think teens would for sure like it because its a book mainly about daily life. There is also a twist to it that keeps things interesting. This book is fun and I think it is just a light read that most s would like.

Summary: The plot of this book is mainly about a struggling through high school. But there is a little difference between her life and the lives of her classmates. Kristi can read the minds of all those around her. This book just tells about her difficult times in high school and being able to hear all that her classmates think they are hiding from her. This story just like every other has love in it, although she is always the one in love but the boy of her dreams wont give her the time of day. She is forced to do projects with him and deal with his thoughts about her all day, everyday. But what makes it worst is he is her best friends older brother. She is also dealing with problems at home throughout the whole book. In the end I think she becomes a more confidante person and feels a whole lot better in her skin.

Explanation of rating: The reason i gave the book only 3 stars is because it wasn't completely horrible but it also wasn't my favorite book ever. I liked that it was an easy read and i felt like i could get through it pretty quickly but i feel like the story line could have been a whole lot better. I just think it wasn't super realistic and so i couldn't relate to the characters at all. I liked that at person you felt like they were describing my high school and the kids in it but one thing i d about it was that i had nothing in common with the main character. I loved that the book showed emotion and that although she came of so tough you were able to see her soften through out the book. Altogether this nook was a fun book to read just to pass the time away but i would not recommend it if your looking to read the best book of you life.

Favorite passage: Gusty sees Mallory and Eva staring at us, and this makes him even madder. "I didn't write anything!" he says, so i have no choice but to lunge at him and rip the paper out of his hands. I get only half of it, but i got the half with number ten and i unfold it to see that he wrote, "beautiful." This was my favorite because it showed so mystery. Does he like her or does he her? That was what i loved so much about this passage.
