Here's what teens are reading and talking about this summer in Norwich. I love seeing what teens think about the books they're reading. This week, they're talking about fun fiction... And this is the last week of Teen Reviews - until next summer.
Bunheads: 4 stars
Even regardless of the focus on ballet, I think
"Bunheads" was a wonderful novel. I'm not a dancer, but Hannah's
struggle shows the importance of pursuing your dreams and listening to your
heart. The book also gives great insight about the huge effort it takes to be a
dancer, which I never considered before reading this novel. I would recommend
it to anyone, especially those who are interested in dancing, sports, etc.
because most likely you'll make a big connection to the main character.
The Statistical
Probability of Love At First Sight: 4 stars
One of my main concerns about reading this book was off the
bat, the fact that Oliver's mystery study was no mystery at all. After all it
is the title of the book itself.
But as you read, you follow the life of Hadley who is having
a hard time dealing with her father's new marriage. She is sent away to be a
bridesmaid in England which she abosutely dreads until she meets cutie Oliver,
an English student at the airport and who she instantly has this sort of
connection with.
The two of them end up sitting next to each other on the
plane and speak for hours.
It's a nice quick read for those who enjoy the
"fluffy" romance scene. It takes place over a course of 24 hours.
The story is pretty short and the reading level isn't that
high. If you'd enjoyed a novel similar to the Notebook, this would be for you.
