Blog Post: Favorite Fiction


So...I haven't been feeling the best lately. A stomach flu can do that to you. Anyways, I decided to reread some of my favorite YA (realistic/general--meaning no sci-fi/dystopian/fantasy) fiction books to cheer myself up a bit :-)  Hopefully you'll find a book that catches your eyes in the list below!


Rating: 5 stars

Review blurb: This wonderful and inspiring novel is told from the point of view of three main characters: TC, Augie and Alejandra (also known as Alé, not Allie).  Each character have their very own and unique personality. TC is a true Bostonian baseball fanatic who just can't seem to stay out of trouble. For Augie, it's all about the drama--the world is the stage and he is the main actor.  And Alé is something else altogether--there is no other way to describe her (I mean really,  she has her own Secret Service agent!)...This book made me laugh, it made me cry and it made me appreciate all the "little" things in life.  A must-read!
