Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't)

Heya!

So for the last few days I've been reading Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't) by Sarah Mlynowski.


Synopsis:

2 Girls + 3 guys + 1 house - parents = 10 things April and her friends did and they (definitely, maybe, probably) shouldn't have.

If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year old wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe "opportunity" isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen. But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves.
In this hilarious and bittersweet tale, Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind of a girl on her own for the first time. To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart... One thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time.

I thought this book was completely different. It covers several topics I wasn't expecting such depth - sexuality, parents problems, between others - but I think is needed in our society. Teens need to understand such things happen to everyone.

I wish it'd be more scene with Hudson, has seen Noah turned to be not so loyal and Hudson was always there for her.
It's a good book, I think it's worth the money and the time. It's easy to read, the vocabulary is simple and funny at some parts.
April sometimes is irresponsible in an extreme level but like it's said "bittersweet tale".

  1. This novel is a wonderful read, though at times it is at times unbelievable. But if I was asked to read it again, I definately would. So many unexpected things happened throught the story, that it really keeps you on your toes as you read it. The main character is also very easy to relate to, if you are a teenage girl.
