Chelsea of The Page Flipper reviewed When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead. "Every detail added up to this charming little town and lifestyle, and I totally fell in love with it within the first few chapters."
Khy of Frenetic Reader reviewed Blue Plate Special by Michelle D. Kwasney. "Blue Plate Special is a wonderful book, with three distinct, if a bit obnoxious, narrators and a surprising, fulfilling ending."
Sarah of GreenBeanTeenQueen reviewed Dream Girl by Lauren Mechling. "The writing was fast paced and the dialouge was snappy. The cast of characters is well rounded and each character added something to the story."
Elie of Ellz Reads reviewed Freaksville by Kitty Keswick. "The plot of Freaksville was nicely developed. Interestingly, the story is told not in chapters, but in entries on the main characters blog."
Lauren of Lauren's Crammed Bookshelf reviewed The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. "In all, The Last Song was a fabulous read that I not only adored but will be suggesting to all. Though, word of warning, this book will make you cry so much at the end."
