Busy Weekend & Dessen

Shoo, I'm going to be bored of y'all, due to the fact that I'm going to be seeing you guys 12 days in a row. Geez, let's hope I don't get bored of y'all. Just playing. Saturday = PSATs. Sunday = AIDS walk. Let's see, oh, that's right. NO TIME FOR SLEEPING IN. & if you don't know me yet, waking up early is not my thing. Not at all.

Just finished Sarah Dessen's "Along for the Ride" ... It's pretty good, well, good enough not to hear Keuter telling me to stop reading in his class. TWICE. Oopsies?
It wasn't as great as her other books; the first book's usually the best, and in her case, I believe so. I was glad she put the World of Waffles in there, connecting this book with the others, but there was too much similarity between this one and her other books. However, I did fall for Eli, just not as much as I thought I would have. I mean, come on, it's a Dessen male lead! Anywho, I thought overall, it was a good read. It just wouldn't make it into my top ten.

"It was terrible and awful when someone left you. You could move on, do the best you could, but like Eli had said, an ending was an ending. No matter how many pages of sentences and paragraphs of great stories led up to it, it would always have the last word" (278).
