Summary: Remy has 'the speech' down pat. You know, the speech you give the boyfriend when it's getting too serious. She's done it enough times and her mom is on husband number five. So why is it that she can't give Dexter, the tacky and quirky musician, the speech she knows by heart? He's messy and disorganized, and let's not even start with the name. Not to mention that he's a musician, just like her dad, a man that Remy never knew because he left before she was born. Could it be that the rules that Remy has religiously followed for all of her life don't apply to her any more?

Cover Rating: 5/5

Comments on the Cover: Cute cute cute cute cover. It works so well. Remy has a firm grip on her heart and controls it, like a piece of paper.
Character Comments: One word: Dexter is the best Sarah Dessen male. This was the second time I've read this book, but I think it only made me love Dexter even more. Remy was good too, a little too pessimistic at times, but all in all a good character.
Favorite Character: Dexter

Summary: After being betrayed by a boy she loved, Penny Lane Bloom has sworn off boys. She makes a pact to spend the rest of her highschool years concentrating on spending time with her friends and not with boys. Thus is the birth of the Lonely Hearts Club. Or 'The Beatles Club' as her dad fondly calls it (even though Penny keeps reminding him that it is in fact, not a Beatles Club.) As more and more girls start to realize that Penny is right, the bigger the Lonely Hearts club becomes. The bigger it grows, the angrier the faculty and 'little boys' of the school become. What happens when the leader of the club becomes interested in a boy?

Review: I have a confession to make. I got this book because Stephenie Meyer liked it. *bows head shamefully* I know, I know, I am a failure. But she has REALLY good taste in books, if that's a consolation at all. Anyway. I liked this book. I liked it alot. It was very unique and funny. The plot seems old, girl doesn't believe in love, but falls in love anyway blah blah blah. But Elizabeth Eulberg does it in a way that is so different. I know, I know. How can such a cliche plot be different! I can't really explain it. It just is. Maybe it's the heroine. Penny is such a cool chick. She wants to believe in love. Plus she likes the Beatles. But that's just a bonus.
Cover Rating: 5/5
Comments on the Cover: AH-FREAKING-MAZING! Does it look familiar? Yes. It's a remake of the Abbey Road Album Cover. With Girls. LOVE.
Character Comments: Funny, well written. Relatable, likable, etc.
