The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell

Watching Sex and the City, I've always disliked Carrie Bradshaw.  However, this book allowed me to relate to her.  Yes, I started adoring her---not that I'm a big fan of myself. 

Carrie had the same thought as me for the last year of high school. Something BIG just has to happen.  Hers was Sebastian Kydd.  Mine, well, we'll see. Man, I feel like this blog should be for my life blog. 

I don't want to ruin this book for SATC fans (think I'm going to quit this blog and start a new one) so let's just say, I wish Carrie was one of my friends.  Or I wish I was in her clique if I was in her high school.

Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

I've only read the first 5 and have not finished the whole series yet.  I do not wanna ruin it for you so I will just pretend to be each character.

If I were Aria Montgomery, I would be the happiest girl in the world.  An affair with a sexy teacher? check. Every guy wants me? check.  Lived in Europe? check.  My dad is cheating on my mom? Don't give a crap.  I would just tell my mom what a dick he is and life would be okay.

If I were Hannah M., ummm I'd probably ignore my dad forever and move with my mom.  Or I'd tell my dad how I feel.  but since that didn't work, screw this town.

If I were Emily, and nobody accepted me for being lesbian, I would amp up my lesbian just to piss 'em off.

If I were Spencer, I'd probably try to find another interest from my sister so we can both succeed in different things and stop being jealous of each other.  And I would find my own boyfriend.  It's gross to go for your sister's left overs. 

Doneeee.

Bridget Jones's Diary: The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding

wow I didn't know I read so many books so far.
The book was so different from the movie.  The girl that Bridget thought was after Mark was in fact not a lesbian.  She was really after Mark.  This book was hilarious and I love Bridget and Mary.  and I absolutely hate Daniel Cleaver.  I can't imagine being Bridget, she is too fab for me.  Bless this character.

Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin

This book was sort of slow in the beginning until Tessa realized there was something wrong in her marriage with Nick which was at the end.  Anyhow, I completely understand where Tessa is coming from.  She was first, a career woman, but became a housewife.  I use to think housewives were pathetic but there were reasons they become that.  Unless, they didn't have kids then I would probably think they are gold diggers.  However, Tessa quit her job to take care of her husband whom is a surgeon and her two children.  Since her husband is a doctor, you can imagine how long he is at the hospital and rarely at home with his family.  This is the first obstacle in their marriage.  The other is when Tessa doesn't pay much attention to their relationship since she's busy being a perfect housewife.  This means socializing with her childrens' friends' mothers.  This may seem like a minor task but hasn't everyone gone through high school.  You wonder who your friends are and always trying to stay in the group.  Well, my high school life wasn't like that but it was in middle school.  Moving on, now you know Nick and Tessa isn't working so great.  So, Nick falls for a patient's mother, Valerie.  She was first a woman that looked like she needed to be saved.  She couldn't keep her eyes off Nick and she can hold a conversation without bringing up the next parent board meeting.  Nick starts an innocent friendship with Valerie.  This developed into an emotional affair.  Of course, everything leads to sex.  This is when Tessa questions Nick's too many absences but she kept telling herself that Nick would never do that to her and his family.  But he did.  And she confronted him, kicked him out, do whatever you would think you'd do when you got cheated on.  In the end, Nick comes home and beg for forgiveness. You would think Nick would pick Valerie because for a moment, he loved her and felt numbness for Tessa.  I will not tell you whether Tessa accepts Nick or not but I want you to ask yourself, would you?  Why did Nick pick Tessa in the end?

By the way, if you are a regular Giffin reader and have not read this book yet, Rachel and Dex makes an appearance!!! I miss them so much.

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella

like anyone reads this blog.  I read this a long time ago but forgot to write here.

If I were Lara and I saw my dead great aunt that I barely knew, I'd probably cry.  Why?  Because she is a ghost.  I am absolutely afraid of the paranormal yet I like to take a dip there sometimes.  For example, my friends and I sometimes like to contact the dead and ask questions.  We made our own Ouija board and use jewelry  to swing to letters and numbers.  We also light candles and open the window for the spirit to come in and talk to us.  Anyhow, back to the book, would I help this ghost that claims to be my aunt?  Well, only if she had evidence that we were blood related.  Then, I would do anything in  my power to help because I don't want this ghost to watch my every move, especially when I have sex.

If I were the fabulous Sadie, I would have not asked Lara for help.  I would have asked the spoiled cousin because it seems like she was the most weak to break and would help you.

Those are my only thoughts for the book.

another post for another book in a few seconds.
