Recently I read a book called Bounce by Natasha Friend.  This book was ok as far as my standards.  I finished this within a few days.
             This book was mainly about a girl named Evyn who goes between living with her father Birdie and her brother Mackey.  One day Birdie drops a huge load on the.  He is getting married and they are moving from Maine to Boston.  Birdies future wife has six other kids from a diffrent marrige. 
               Evyn was not happy about levaing her friends and Maine. Through out the book she has to deal with many problems such as living with a mixed family.  She now has to live with a peppy step mother and 6 other children.
                She soon finds herself falling in love with her older half brother Linus.  She ends up running away and planning to go live with her former best friend but Linus comes and gets her and she thinks he loves her.  Linus takes her ot his home and she meets his girlfriend.  She was dissapointed.
                                                       She now finds herself having conversations with her dead mother. She also becomes closer with her step mother.
                                                       Two things I liked about this book is that it is very suspenseful and how true it was.  Two things I did nor like about this book is that it got kind of creepy at points.  Also I diddnt like how sad it was. It was also very depressing.  The readin level is probally a 7 out of 10.  I would reccomend this to anyone who likes reading about teen  hardships.
