The Secret Between Us

What starts as a simple assumption quickly develops into this families nightmare, threatening to tear their world upside down. A young girl is driving home on a dark raining night, out of nowhere a figure flies from the woods and in front of the car. She had just hit a man! Where do they go from there...

Heavy topics are discussed. Divorce and the struggle to stay a family, a young childs feelings with sudden blindness, a fathers drinking problem, a young girl looking for experience, living up to ones expectations or the lack of, pressures of friends and society and where that brings you, bringing new life into this less-than-perfect life and yet being able to sleep at night after all is said and done.

I am a fan of Barbara Delinsky and she has some other very good books that I recommend checking out.

Sis.BOOM.Bah.

 

If you have sisters, that you dont always see eye to eye with this would be a humorous book to check out... 

Being that I have sisters, one in particular came to mind when I was reading it, I could relate to this book wonderfully. I found the sisters bickering quite amusing since we (the unmentioned sister and I) tend to make small snide remarks while the other one tries to claim ignorance, like she has no clue what the other is talking about... I would like, at times, to really hash it out with her, but that would take her admitting her faults... Which I doubt would ever happen, even if the issue is no longer important, on my side, or not... 

Besides all the family bickering, there is a murder to be solved. One that both sisters seem to have landed themselves in the middle of. Romances are found, some long lasting and some not... Undercover work is needed and in the end the sisters get through it by being themselves... ;o) The ending is quite funny and not that far fetched...  

Good book... Easy read...  

The BFG

Lets go back to the days of our youth with writers like Dr. Seuss, Judy Blume, Shel Silverstein, and ROALD DAHL... ;o) Let me just say... I <3 it... If you have never read the childhood classics I seriously recommend that you do. If you dont you are seriously missing out...

A small girl sees a giant peeking in childrens windows. The giant knows he has been spotted and grabs her. Thats how the journey begins... Come to find out, the giant that took her is the only nice giant around and that doesnt eat people! Talk about lucky! Sophie and The BFG (Big Friendly Giant) become an impossible team thats set on saving all the innocent people from being eaten by the others...

Just typing this out brings a smile to my face and the urge to read this again... ;o)

Beautiful Stranger

A recent read of mine...
I do not recommend this book for anyone with a weak stomach...
I had to put it down a couple times due to queasiness...


Awesome message and walk through the life of someone with the thoughts of upgrading yourself physically, although not at all mentally...


At 22, she used her credit cards to pay for her first plastic surgery, a nose job. At 23, she had a face lift. By age 24, she'd had a total of five surgeries. Cheek implants, mini face lifts, boob jobs, nose, etc... This book walks you through the surgery and healing process... Explains how her families mental illness' created the being that she became... How her mother moved into a hotel room while she was home healing from one of her elective surgeries because she couldn't face the mutilated version of her child... And how this woman worked through it... or rather is STILL working through it...

Being that I will never have the extra money to just throw into plastic surgery and how nervous I get with any medical procedures dealing with an IV, I don't think I will ever have to worry about feeling like this... Thank God...

Shes an attractive woman... But nothing extremely special... I think I would want my money back... Not to be rude but if I am shelling out the cash I wanna look like a star... Not normal and natural...

I guess it all comes down to loving yourself and what your working with... When you forget to love yourself is when the issues arise...
