Independent Study

(The Testing #2)

......

by Joelle Charbonneau

Release Date: 7 January 2014

In the series debut The Testing, sixteen-year-old Cia Vale was chosen by the United Commonwealth government as one of the best and brightest graduates of all the colonies . . . a promising leader in the effort to revitalize postwar civilization. In Independent Study, Cia is a freshman at the University in Tosu City with her hometown sweetheart, Tomas—and though the government has tried to erase her memory of the brutal horrors of The Testing, Cia remembers. Her attempts to expose the ugly truth behind the government’s murderous programs put her—and her loved ones—in a world of danger. But the future of the Commonwealth depends on her.

Review: How I Lost You by Janet Gurtler

Summary-

There are a few things Grace Anderson knows for sure. One is that nothing will ever come between her and her best friend, Kya Kessler. They have a pact. Buds Before Studs. Sisters Before Misters. But in the summer before senior year, life throws out challenges they never expected. And suddenly the person who's always been there starts to need the favor returned. Grace and Kya are forced to question how much a best friend can forgive. And the answer is not what they expected.

Review-

People that like Sarah Dessen will like this book. though it may be fiction, this book has many aspects that people can relate too. like losing a best friend; someone they know who went on a downward spiral in their life; being compared to another; whether they lived in the spotlight or the shadows. This book made me step back and think of the situation my best friend and me are going through. i realized all i can do is take care of myself first.
