The reviews I promised

Cobwebs
by Karen Romano Young

Mystery / Fantasy | 388 pgs.

When Nancy walks up to a boy balancing on the rail of the Brooklyn Bridge, she can't know the series of events that talking to the Ghost Boy, as she thinks of him because he has shaved his hair and eyebrows, will lead to. Though they don't know it, their families already know eachother, and aren't on the best of terms. Thier meeting spins a tale of angels, spiders, healers, love, and secrets, both being revealed and being kept.
With wonderful characters set against the back drop of New York City, where you can find all kinds of people, this book is a delight to read as you are invited into thier world with them as they learn more about it themselves. By the end, you won't want to leave.

my rating: 4.5 | amazon.com rating: 5

Confessions of a Not It Girl
by Melissa Kantor

Teen Life | 247 pgs.

Jan Miller is the best friend of a New York City "It Girl", but her life is definatley not "It". This is her story of friendship, her struggle against her gigantic butt, and her quest tho win the heart of Josh, the boy she likes who just moved from Seattle. Of course, things are never as easy as they could be, and unexpected complications pop up all over the place.

Pretty much a standard teenage girl, first-person, happy ending book, but it's well written and easy to read. The characters are likeable and plausable as well.

my rating: 3.5 | amazon.com rating: 4.5
