45 Pounds (More or Less) by K.A. Barson
July 11th 2011
She is 16.
And a size 17.
Her perfect mother is a size 6.
Her Aunt Jackie is getting married in 10 weeks, and wants Ann to be her bridesmaid.
So Ann makes up her mind: Time to lose 45 pounds (more or less) in 2 1/2 months.
Welcome to the world of informercial diet plans, wedding dance lessons, embarrassing run-ins with the cutest guy Ann’s ever seen—-and some surprises about her NOT-so-perfect mother.
And there’s one more thing. It’s all about feeling comfortable in your own skin-—no matter how you add it up!
Dangerous Girls by Abigail HaasJuly 16th 2013
Paradise quickly gets gruesome in this thrilling page-turner with a plot that’s ripped from the headlines and a twist that defies the imagination.
It’s Spring Break of senior year. Anna, her boyfriend Tate, her best friend Elise, and a few other close friends are off to a debaucherous trip to Aruba that promises to be the time of their lives.
But when Elise is found brutally murdered, Anna finds herself trapped in a country not her own, fighting against vile and contemptuous accusations. As Anna sets out to find her friend’s killer, she discovers harsh revelations about her friendships, the slippery nature of truth, and the ache of young love.
Awaiting the judge’s decree, it becomes clear to Anna that everyone around her thinks she is not only guilty, but also dangerous. And when the whole story comes out, reality is more shocking than anyone ever imagined..

45 Pounds looks awesome. And Dangerous Girls is one I hadn't heard of before.
ReplyDeleteEvery Day, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Your list is full of books on my TBR. How on earth am I ever going to find the time?

Oh, you should get to The Madman's Daughter, ASAP. It's really, really great. Dark and creepy, if that's your thing.
I'm looking forward to 45 Pounds, too. I think it's going to be really great. :) I also need to read Also Known As and The Nightmare Affair still...I'm soo behind. Waaaahhhh! :P
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to read 45 pounds, because this kind of books can be really good, or really bad. Great pick!

Haven't heard about 45 pounds yet, but I'm curious. May have to keep my eyes open for it.
ReplyDeleteOooh haven't heard much about 45 Pounds but thanks for the reminder to add it to my TBR. I keep meaning to do that. I'm currently reading THE ALMOST TRUTH by Eileen Cook and loving it :D and just finished REQUIEM (totally need to blog about that!) <3
