Book Review: Butterflies and Earthworms by Misty Wright

My Review: Despite the low ratings on Goodreads for this book, I enjoyed it immensely. I admit that I thought the book had some flaws (some parts of the book felt completely jumpy and random, and could have flowed a bit better), but the story was great!  The characters were funny and unique, and I couldn't help laughing at their behaviors and attitude.  I especially loved Lyle's way of getting Karen to be his girlfriend- that was priceless!  There were a few things the book didn't elaborate on (like why Aya and Lyle had to be separated- WHY?!)  But overall, I loved the book and would definitely read it again.  4/5 STARS

Book Review: Into the Deep by Lauryn April

My Review: Ivy is just an ordinary girl, at least she was until the slip into the pool occurred.  A hit to the noggin and Ivy acquires an extraordinary gift- she can read minds!  But with this gift there are consequences and responsibilities.  To hear the inner thoughts of those around you isn't always the best ability to have, but because of this new ability, Ivy is given the chance to save not just one life, but the lives of many.

Enter misunderstood bad boy, Brant, and you're sure to have fireworks combined with rampaging teenage hormones that might just boil over and consume them.   Not to mention, friendships will be tested as well as the bonds of family.

Into the Deep was an intriguing novel loaded with teenage insecurities and attitude.  The idea of someone being able to access the thoughts of people around them was captivating- add in the bonus of potential murder in a high school and the taste of first love, and you have yourself a book that is definitely worth reading.  The characters are charming and easy to like, especially Ivy and Brant. The story flowed smoothly without any slow parts.  I would definitely call this a fun book to read and one that I would read again and recommend to others.  4/5 STARS
