Quick review for quite a strenuous read. I think "The Leaving" had good ideas and intentions, but in the end, none of it worked for me. I'll admit I really had to push myself in a marathon just to get through this book. It was very sluggishly paced (for little to no reason at all), the characters we...
For a book about a kidnapping and missing children, The Leaving was so boring. The ending is anticlimactic and the characters are bland. The third person writing style really drags the book down as well. If you're looking for an exciting thriller, this is not it. Six kids went missing and five hav...
Elizabeth (Eb) and Lauren(Lo)have been paired up to be roommates at Berkeley Lo isn't too happy. She lives with her parents and five siblings. She hasn't had any personal space since the younger children came along. She had requested a single room, but that was obviously denied. Eb is thrilled. ...
OVERALL IMPRESSION: This book brings back some memories for me. I remember getting the information about who my college roommate was going to be and contacting her to figure out who would bring the fridge and who would bring the microwave. That was about all of our communication until we met on movi...

She has a strained relationship with her mom and her d...
This is a wonderful book for teenagers as they start thinking about leaving for college. The book’s characters are complete opposites in all aspects in their young loves. It’s interesting how things that can change a matter of a few text across country and how the other comes across in their emai...

When a simple question about which appliance they're bringing to the dorm room slowly becomes an email volley between two different girls, an unlikely friendship ensues. Elizabeth, or EB, already feels differently about her friends and even her boyfriend. Lauren never has time for herself because of...
I don't think many people would describe me as being overly sentimental, but man, this book just brought out the emotions in me. The writing flows. The characters are realistic. Their voices are believable. Their fears, their insecurities, their choices are so realistic, so relatable. Ok, it's a bi...
