Faking Normal

Faking normal-- why 4 not 5 stars (1/4/2016)
This book is definitely worth reading. I related to the characters and it was easy to like them. The bad part though is that it was cliché and unrealistic, in some ways, while in others it was almost too realistic. The mystery of what happened to her and who happened to her carried me throughout the novel. Please, please, please read it.

Fake ID review-- why 4 not 5 stars (1/4/2016)
This novel was incredible. It managed to be intriguing as well as funny and relatable, all in a murder mystery book. It incorporated many elements, such as morality, racism, love, etc. The plotline itself was incredible and reading as the mystery unfolded was even better.

If I think the book is THAT amazing, why not 5 stars? Well (Spoiler-ish), the ending wasn't... it just wasn't suitable. I turned the page expecting another chapter or a "1 year later..." kind of thing. Instead, I got acknowledgements. It ends with Whispertown unresolved, and a very upset reader. I was left wondering what was the fate of the once lovebirds and what happened to his mother and are they leaving the program and what is the fate of Wispertown.

I expect a sequel :))))))
