The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares

I really like this book, and it was very different from the movie.  I cried during reading...

If I was Tibby, I think I would know better to be nicer to Brian.  We would have been through so much after the Bailey thing.  I'd probably feel the same about my mother and I would have said something.  Seriously, giving me your maiden name when you don't even keep yours is annoying to me!
If I was Carmen, I wouldn't even go out with Porter.  There's obviously no chemistry and he was just some hot quiet guy.  No one likes that!  In addition, I would have accepted that my mother was dating other people.  Your parents are divorced for so many years, how can you not expect them to move on?   Carmen, get a grip!
If I was Lena, I would be furious with Kostas.  Yeah, you are a "gentleman" for marrying that girl because you got her pregnant (Which is extremely wrong because staying with each other for a kid just makes it worse).  However, you are not a gentleman for impregnating her on the second date!  That's what I would have screamed to Kostas.  I cried at the part Lena found out about the bride...
If I was Bridget...I'd be a little less self centered.  Okay, I am sympathetic for her whole Marley situation but how did she ever get so cocky?  These are her thoughts: HOW CAN HE NOT LIKE ME?  EVERY GUY LIKES ME!  ....Wow, can you be a little more modest?  Anyhow, when the leaked how Bee found her mom dead, I started crying.

I can't wait to read the third book and hope it won't be boring because this one did not disappoint!

Atonement by Ian McEwan

I didn't finish it and I never will.  This book was soooo boring.  I only got to page one hundred and something.  I just finished the chapter where everyone went out to look for the two little boys and James McAvoy's character decide to do the same (after disappointed that there wasn't anymore time that night to get his groove on).  The last line I read was something like 'Going out to search for the boys would be that life changing moment he would think about later on in his life'.  Since, I watched the movie already, I knew what was going to happen and this book was written boring already, I didn't want it to be depressing too.
I have no right to judge the characters since I did not finish the book.
