Good Book, Extreme Editing?
I really enjoyed this book, but.....sometimes I had to wonder just how much editing Beatrice Sparks has done on it. Near the end, the way things work out....it almost seems too perfect of an ending. Then again, I could be wrong. At some points, the several little details are not seemingly of what a 14 year old girl would write about. I can compare this book to Jay's Journal, which, apparently, turned out to be a fake. Beatrice Sparks could be out to make a name for herself, and a fake one out of others. However, this was still a great book that I recommend reading, especially to girls under the age of 15. I highly recommend it to them, because it just might help save their life.

So-so..
Being a male, I thought it was very interesting reading this story. As I read before, the exciting part did not happen until very far out into the story, and just as it started to pick up, the ended. I wished there was more and it would go a little farther before the end.
It's pretty much about a girl who falls in love with her substitute teacher. Soon, the teacher starts to touch her in places and kiss her. She doesn't realize it, and neither did I, but he ended up being a "bad guy," rather than the "nice guy," he was pictured to be throughout the first 100 pages.
Overall.. if you have spare time, pick it up. I don't think little kids or adults will enjoy it. It gets really boring and you can't tell the plot out until it ends.

Treacherous Love
This book it is in diary form and the main character is Jennie. Jennie's life is very complex and when she finds someone to make it go all away it turns out to not be what she expects. Jennie falls in love with her math teacher and loves everything that he does and it just so happens he does everything to make her fall in love with him. He traps girls to trust him and then fall in love with him. When Jennie finds out who he really is she does nothing but stay in bed.
I thought this book was very good to relate with a true-life teenager. It shows some of the problems they have and how one problem can wreck their lives forever. This book was very emotional and easy to relate to. Also, it has characters you can understand and know so much about them you think you've known them forever.
