Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway

Audrey is a girl in love with music. She lives in California and is dating Evan, lead singer of the Do-Gooders. She decides to break up with him, and eight hours later he sings a song about her, a catchy song that soon becomes popular and makes her a celebrity.

I really enjoyed this book. It was well-written and I could not put it down. The title of each chapter was a lyric from a song and the song lyric kind of forshadowed what would happen in the coming chapter. Audrey is a lovable character. This book probably isn't realistic, but it could be. The characters were well written and believable. I recommend this to girls eighth grade and up because they do mention a couple mature things that younger girls probably would not understand.

Airhead by Meg Cabot

Em Watts was certainly not a girly girl. She didn't know what kind of lip gloss looked good on her nor did she care. She did care about Christopher, her best guy friend and they guy she's in love with. She goes to the Stark Megastore opening and that day changed her life forever. This book describes how she struggles to adjust to a new life.

This was a good book. It was confusing at some points but a very good read. Recommended to anyone who likes Meg Cabot's books.

This book is a great read for fans of Twilight or any science fiction romance books.

the Mediator: Shadowland
this isn't neccessarily a girl's read, butr i didn't know what other genre to put it under, so here we are. this is such a great book and comes very highly recommended by moi. Meg Cabot (author, completely hilarious, amazing, has cat) outdid herself with this series. absolutely hilarious, pop culture references that are understandable to our generation
(albeit, just slightly outdated: the series was written in 2001) but it's still great.
Suze Simon jcan see ghosts and it's her job to help them move on to whatever life they've got going for them. and she hates it. when her mom remarries and moves to california with suze, she thinks that maybe things will be different (she didn't have such a sparkling record back in New York where she used to live). unfortuntaely things are worse. a ghost (a seriously hot one, by the way) is living in her bedroom and she's not sure if she wants to get rid of him. then at her new school she meets a ghost named Heather who's seriouly pissed off at her boyfriend and wants to kill him. and it doesn't help that he asks Suze out. Can she survive, save Heather's ex boyfriend's life, and keep her mom in the dark? find out in this amazing book. and kudos to whoever else read Meg Cabot books. Is she not amazing?
