Gingerbread by Rachel Cohn (reviewed by Marie, age 13)
This book is amazing! Its about Cyd Charisse (who's step father calls her a "recovering hellion") who got kicked out of boarding school, after getting caught with her ex-boyfriend Justin, and after getting in a fight with her mother (and new boyfriend, Shrimp) gets sent to stay with her "real dad" in New York. As you can probably guess she causes a lot of drama in NY and realizes the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. A really really really good read.
The book is all about what girls deal with in life. Cyd has to cope with her mother and her biological father Frank and a bunch of teen drama over boys. This book definently tells a story about the troubles of life and the unwanted break up message that you get from your boyfriend. Cyd basically tells all her book reading fans that life isn't short and you should live it to the maximum level.
