This book is really rather funny. It's about a girl who wishes she could be a fly on the wall in the boys' locker room at her school. her parents just told her they were getting a divorce. Her only best friend is avoiding her, so she makes this wish and it comes true. She sees all the boys in her school that go to gym. When I say she "sees" I mean she sees everything! I'd love to tell you more, but if I did, you wouldn't have any reason to read the book--and you gotta read it!

I cannot explain how much I loved Reading this book. Every page, every word, left me wanting more. I have never in my life read this long of a book in less than two days until I read this series. If you haven't read the first of the series, CRANK, it was amazing and this book, GLASS, is the perfect continuation. This book digs deeper into the life-altering addiction to drugs. GLASS doesn't just scratch the surface of what being a slave to Crystal Meth is really like, but tells of a girl and her feelings and emotions throughout her addiction. I couldn't help, but to feel at times that I was a part of the book, I was so into it. All in all, this series is the best series I've ever read and I encouage high school readers and up to read it. I hope you get into it just as much, if not more than I did...if that's at all possible.

Heaven is the name of the town in Ohio, where fourteen year old Marley lives with her family. One day her family receives a letter from Alabama, from the pastor of a church that's been burned down. He says he needs a copy of Marley's birth certificate because hers was destroyed in the fire. Marley finds out that her parents are not actually her parents--and that she's been adopted. She also finds out that Jack, an uncle who writes letters, but she doesn't remember, is actually her father. I don't want to give to much of this wonderful storyline away--so you'll have to read the book to find out the rest!

This book is the sequel to THE BOYFRIEND LIST and it is just as good. It apparently has the same girl--Rudy Oliver. She is a junior in high school in this one and she is still dealing with more problems. She is still seeing the "shrink" and she's still trying to get over Jackson. She and her friends invented this thing called the Boy Book. The book is guidelines and tips about boys and it has stuff about all their boyfriends, past and present. That's all I'm going to tell you though--read the book!
