Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by.david levithan and rachele cohn

Dash & Lily's Book of Dares
I’ve left some clues for you.
If you want them, turn the page.
If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.”

So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the New York Times bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?

Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written a love story that will have readers perusing bookstore shelves, looking and longing for a love (and a red notebook) of their own.
REVIEW- oh wow this book made me want chrismas to come. I really wish that something like that would happen to me. This was such an original idea and a very relatable story and i loved each and every charecter.Boomer oh boomer how you make me smile.

Will Grayson Will by.John Green and David levithan

Released: April 6th, 2010
Published by: Dutton Juvenile
Page Amount: 310 pages, US paperback

"One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two teens—both named Will Grayson—are about to cross paths. As their worlds collide and intertwine, the Will Graysons find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, building toward romantic turns-of-heart and the epic production of history’s most fabulous high school musical."
Information from Goodreads.com
quick over view-This book is a hilarious, moving tale of two teenage boys going through very difficult problems. Each person has felt like one of the Will Graysons' at one point in their life, and I think that everyone should read this book.
Review-I found will grayson will grayson to be a great book. john green never disappoints.I was a little skeptic at first not knowing any of David leviathan's work but it turns out he is equally amazing.
    I wouldn't say this book was a fast passe but it was intelligently written and the dialogue between the characters were amazing and funny.The plot of the book was a B rating but over all likeability was an A++.
   What i liked most about john's will grayson is his continuous amazment at tiny fitting into his chair.I thought the first will grayson was a great character and i liked how he sort of tied in with david's will grayson at least as far as his attitude goes.All charecters were amazing and i loved margo's and will grayson's relationship as well as jane and the other will grayson, they were a nice touch.Although i still believe tiny and will should be together i liked how he brought all the other will grayson's to tiny's play. the ending was really the iceing on the cake and made me close the book with a smile.
        A must read for sure.

chain reaction by. Simone Elkeles

Luis Fuentes has always been sheltered from the gang violence that nearly destroyed his brothers’ lives. But that didn’t stop him from taking risks—whether he’s scaling a mountain in the Rockies or dreaming of a future as an astronaut, Luis can’t stop looking for the next thrill.

Nikki Cruz lives her life by three rules—boys lie to get their way, don’t trust a boy who says “I love you,” and never date a boy from the south side of Fairfield. Her parents may be from Mexico, but as a doctor’s daughter, she has more in common with her north-side neighbors than the Latino Blood at her school. Then she meets Luis at Alex’s wedding, and suddenly, she’s tempted to break all her rules.

Getting Nikki to take a chance on a southsider is Luis’s biggest challenge, until he finds himself targeted by Chuy Soto, the new head of the Latino Blood. When Chuy reveals a disturbing secret about Luis’s family, the youngest Fuentes finds himself questioning everything he’s ever believed to be true. Will his feelings for Nikki be enough to stop Luis from entering a dark and violent world and permanently living on the edge?
