Life In The Fat Lane

I am so happy books like this exist in the world. I love that in this day and age more and more people can learn, and be aware about (and have) body acceptance. Now the review!

A young girl named Lara Adeche has anything the average high-schooler would want. She's popular, beautiful, and has a good looking boyfriend. But Lara and the people surrounding her lives are about to change. She. Gets. Fat! *GASP!*

She tries everything to get the weight off- crazy diets, not eating, workouts- nada. Nothing works.She didn't lose an ounce. In fact she actually gained! But maybe this sudden transformation will help her open her eyes and see everyone's true colors.

For me the topic in this book (fat) is a rarity to find in books. I think it's especially important for girls (but really all people) to read more about positive body image in books. I think it can really help in the accepting who you are part of your life.

Especially when everything and everyone around you is telling you to be a certain way or thing.

Anyway I give this book  4.5 stars.

Happy Reading,

Anna and The French Kiss

 I went into this book not really knowing anything about it. Let's be real though I bought it cause of the beautiful cover. So I really didn't have any expectations. Anyway let's just get to the review:

This story has a very unique concept. In going to Paris terms anyway. It's about a young girl named Anna Oliphant who is horrified at the fact that she has to go to a boarding school in Paris. Yes, that's right Pris as in France, not Tennessee. How awful right? But when she arrives her thoughts get tainted when she meets a handsome American-British-French boy named Etienne St. Clair. I mean of course she meets other people whom she also makes friends with, but they don't really matter. Do they?

Anyway this book was absolutely fantastic. One of the best contemporary novels i've read this year.

Definitley 5 stars.

Recommended age:15
