Winger

Synopsis:

"Ryan Dean West is a fourteen-year-old junior at a boarding school for rich kids in the Pacific Northwest. He’s living in Opportunity Hall, the dorm for troublemakers, and rooming with the biggest bully on the rugby team. And he’s madly in love with his best friend Annie, who thinks of him as a little boy.
With the help of his sense of humor, rugby buddies, and his penchant for doodling comics, Ryan Dean manages to survive life’s complications and even find some happiness along the way. But when the unthinkable happens, he has to figure out how to hold on to what’s important, even when it feels like everything has fallen apart.
Filled with hand-drawn info-graphics and illustrations and told in a pitch-perfect voice, this realistic depiction of a teen’s experience strikes an exceptional balance of hilarious and heartbreaking. " (Taken from; Good Reads)

Review: 

Andrew Smith is a genius. I know that I will love every single one of his books before I pick them up. He has a distinct and powerful way of writing that truly compels me. Somehow he manages to elaborate this rare and wonderful ideas and creates something incredible and significant to the readers. Therefore, I shouldn't be surprised of how much I loved Winger.

Winger is now one of my favorite books. I don't really want to say much about the book per se because I'm scared of spoiling even the tiniest detail. I'm just going to say that this book is a perfect and well developed piece of art. The characters, the plot, the dialogue, and comics are simply amazing. Honestly, I can't wait to get my hands on the second book. 

If you haven't read it let me tell you that you are missing a wonderful story.

Very Bad Things

                           Synopsis:

"Katie never thought she'd be the girl with the popular boyfriend. She also never thought he would cheat on her-but the proof is in the photo that people at their boarding school can't stop talking about. Mark swears he doesn't remember anything. But Rose, the girl in the photo, is missing, and Mark is in big trouble. Because it looks like Rose isn't just gone…she's dead.

Maybe Mark was stupid, but that doesn't mean he's a killer.

Katie needs to find out what really happened, and her digging turns up more than she bargained for, not just about Mark but about someone she loves like a sister: Tessa, her best friend. At Whitney Prep, it's easy to keep secrets…especially the cold-blooded kind." (Taken from;Good Reads)

                                      Review:

 Katie thinks she has the perfect relationship with her boyfriend, Mark, until she sees a compromising picture of him with another girl. But that's not it, the girl in the picture, Rose, is dead and Mark is a suspect. She is pretty sure that Mark isn't Rose's killer and very focused on finding out what really happened, even if that means discovering things that will change everything.

"Very Bad Things" has a creepy-thriller feeling to it, which makes it a an easy but tense read. This is something that I really enjoy in a book. The plot was really amazing and well developed. Same goes to the characters. I really loved all of them, but Tessa's was my favorite. Susan McBride made an excellent job with this character. Her story and everything that we get to see about her is just... wow. 

Anyways, I really enjoyed reading this book. It wasn't perfect but it was really entertaining and well written. I encourage every single one of you to pick it up and give it a try. If you do let me know what you think.
