Book Review: Don’t Even Think About It

Don't Even Think About ItDon’t Even Think About It by Sarah Mlynowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really liked this book! It’s the first of Sarah Mlynowski’s YA books I’ve ever read but I’ve loved her adult books.

The story here of high school kids developing ESP from a flu shot is kind of far flung but it was funny and sweet and sad. I liked the characters and how the decided in the end to band together and keep the ESP even when they were offered an antidote by the CDC.

Not quite believable in a real life situation but very definitely readable. I didn’t put it down! 🙂

Book Review: First Date

First Date (The Dating Games #1)First Date by Melody Carlson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First Date is a fun YA read with a great friendship and learning story inside.

Five girls from a Christian high school are interested in starting to date but they are unsure about it. How will they like it? How will their parents like it? And how will they get the boys interested since it seems that that they aren’t.

The newest girl at their school, Devon, decides they should form a club called Dating Games. They develop rules and their goal is to get all of the girls a date for the Homecoming Dance.

The story is about the process they go through getting to and through their first dates. The girls come out stronger friends in the end and the DG Club is deemed a success.

I loved this book and its characters and highly recommend it. 🙂
