"All the Rage" by Courtney Summers - Better Than Expected!

All the Rage by Courtney Summers is told by Romy, a young teen girl who was attacked by a boy who was well known in her town and well liked so no one believed her.  She goes to a party and has no recollection of anything the next day, but a close friend of hers is missing.  Does she know something about this?  If so, will anyone believe her?

I liked this better than I thought I would.  Give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised too!

Teaser Tuesday: Five Today!

Gerard's:
  
When I pull my hands out, they're covered in blood.  For a second I think it's mine.  But it's not mine.

Last night I spent some time sharpening the broken plastic fork.  I only had my fingernails and teeth to work with, but I think I did a pretty good job.

For her he would master his most troublesome rituals and offer up what was left of his sanity.
"Greetings, Robyn, and welcome!" said Dr. Chuck Mutinda, nodding first at her and then into a raggedy file folder.

"This is just how my life goes," Alex said.  "I have enough trouble dating girls, and now I have to figure out how to date a mermaid."

I thought that was really smart.  Get all of us in one place so the aliens didn't have to waste a lot of ammunition.

"The Bunker Diary" by Kevin Brooks

The Bunker Diary by Kevin Brooks is about six people who are taken and put in an underground bunker.  Why?  They do not know.  It is told by a young boy who was the first to be put in the bunker.  I found it interesting how they all got along and as time went by, their reactions to their circumstances.  This is a fast YA read that I enjoyed.

"The Music Box" by T. Davis Bunn

The Music Box by T. Davis Bunn is about a widower (Carlson) and his 8^th grade daughter (Melissa) who move to start a new life in a small hill country town.  Angie, a childless, lonely widow, who is the girl’s eighth grade school teacher, is still grieving the loss of her husband.  This is Christian fiction, so I give you one guess as to what happens.  Both Carlson and Angie are guarded and slowly learn to open up with others and share themselves.

This is a short book about grieving and moving on, with the hope that life will get better.  It is predictable from the start and I did not care for it.  The only reason I read it was because it was my husband’s book so wanted to read it before giving it away.  We will not miss it!  (2 stars)
