The book I read was entitled "Something, Maybe" by Elizabeth Scott and it tells the story about a 16 year old girl who tries to balance her life with her abnormal parents and her so-called "love life." As the story progresses, she sorts out her feelings for everyone in her life. There are a couple reasons I chose this book. One reason would be that this really relates to most teenagers of the 21st century. Teenage love stories are also something that I enjoy reading, as long as it's not something too cheesy.
Hannah James, a 16 year old girl from the fictional town of Slaterville, believes that her life is crazy enough with her mother and her "interesting" job and her so-called father being a millionare with his own Internet show of him surrounded by pretty girls in his own castle in New York. Ever since she and her mother moved to Slaterville, Hannah's mother, Candy Madison, is known for her body thanks to her live webcam website. At the same time, she's certain that her crush, the most perfect boy in the whole school named Josh, is meant for her. At the same time, her father, Jackson James, wants to reconnect with her by sending her a two train tickets to New York. She tries to decide whether to believe he actually wants to spend time with her, or if he's doing it to gain more success for his show. As she decides to go to New York, Hannah wonders why she can't stop thinking of her co-worker Finn, and she really decides if Josh is really her soul mate.
One of the things I liked about this book is that it's told in a point of view of a normal, everyday teenager. Hannah's voice in the book is a mixure of literal elements while at the same time, she brings her own teenage voice. Another thing I liked about this book is that it's one of those teenage love stories where it doesn't just focus on the boy and girl, but also focuses on the girl's life and how she's struggling with how embarrassing she thinks her parents are and everyone in school ridiculing her for it. I definitely enjoyed reading this book! I recommend it to any teenager who just enjoys reading. Although, it has suggestive language or details that might make some people a little uncomfortable reading, so if you are one of those people, I suggest you do not read this book. Other than the language and the content, it was definitely an easy read and I recommend the book or author to anyone who loves to read!
