Book Review: This Book Isn't Fat, It's Fabulous by Nina Beck


Ok, so if you're like me and are a HUGE fan of the television show Gossip Girl then this is a book for you! Imagine that one of the main characters of GG is overweight...her catty, uptown, rich, snooty attitude is in full force; her friends are all just like her; she's in love with her male best friend who doesn't seem to share her feelings; and she's secretly being sent off to a "fat camp" by her father and her soon to be step-mother, against her will! Riley Swain has to figure out a way to make sure none of her friends figure out that she's not at the upscale spa like she told them but instead at a school for the overweight, all the while trying her best not to lose who she really is...because in her opinion she's not fat, she's FABULOUS!! With the help of the school's therapist and the headmaster's son, Riley learns to truly appreciate who she is! A great story...you can't help but love Riley and her snarky, rich girl attitude!

Book Review: The Breakup Bible




The Breakup Bible by Melissa Kantor

“Friends”…he wanted to be just friends! After 2 years of “crushing” and 5 months of blissful dating, Jennifer’s heart gets broken when her boyfriend Max decides that they would be better off as friends! Her friends console her, her father and his boyfriend try to fix her up, Max confuses her, and her grandmother gives her a book to help her move on…the book is The Breakup Bible! Can a book really help Jennifer move on when she isn’t sure she wants to move on? Can she continue to spend everyday working on the school paper with the boy that broke her heart? Like her father says, “only the shadows know…” A great quick read for those that like realistic, chick-lit!
