The Mother Daughter Book Club

I'm really trying to read a lot of young adult novels this summer. This book starts out very promising. It's essentially about 4 girls who fit certain stereotypes in a middle school. Their mothers make them join a mother daughter book club, in which they read Little Women. I think this type of book would be enjoyable and even helpful for a middle school student to read. BUT the end is a little too unrealistic. I am all about happy endings, but I think this went too far.

Betrayed

Betrayed is the second novel in the House of Night series. I liked this book better than the first. It had more substance, but this series still isn't my favorite.

The Wednesday Letters

The Wednesday Letters is about a couple who die on the same night. A lot of the plot mirrors Nicholas Sparks' The Notebook. Their children find a stack of letters that the husband wrote to the wife every Wednesday since they got married. Through reading these letters the children learn lots of life lessons and secrets about their parents' lives. It can definitely be a little too sappy, but I would recommend it to anybody!
