This book is about two boys, Tyler, and Ben. Tyler is the golden boy, and he’s worshipped 
by everyone. But Tyler has secrets of his own, and they’re starting to show under the golden boy cover. Ben, on the other hand, is partially deaf. The only things that don’t make him feel like a freak are soccer and hanging out with his best friend Tyler. And then Ben meets Ilona. She’s kind of a weirdo, with blue 💙 hair, tattoos, and no friends. But ever since Ben and Tyler have been drifting apart, Ben doesn’t know what it’s like to be alone-and maybe everyone needs to hang out with a fellow freak now and then.
I loved the whole structure of this book, and although there were a few 🌈LGBTQ+ themes in the book, I don’t think the author addressed it very well, so if you’re sensitive in topics like that, I highly doubt you will enjoy this book.
can actually start this review in a proper manner. So, this book is about a girl named Trixie. Oh, and can I just say that I LOVE the name Trixie? Anyways, Trixie has 2 goals for her senior year: 1. Save enough money to buy the Doctor Who figurines from the local comic book store, and 2. to place 3rd in her class and knock Ben West down to number 4. Trixie is determined to give up her sleep to knock Ben down. But then her best friend starts dating Ben’s best friend. Aaaannndd….she’s dumped with Ben and told to be nice to him. They develop a shy friendship, but then, Trixie’s best friend gets expelled for cheating, Trixie doesn’t really believe it. Ben and Trixie have to pick who’s side they’re on….and they might not choose the same side.
nothing: So, step 1: Put on some expensive clothes and pretend to be an awesome model from Hollywood or something. Step 2: Run off to Antarctica with this book. Step 3: Read it over until I’ve memorized it or have it drilled into my brain. Step 4: Feed it to the penguins and pretend nothing happened. Step 5: Well, why don’t you be grateful that there isn’t really a step 5? 🙂 So, what do you think? Amazing, right? (Yeah, not really) But hey, who knows, maybe one day Jennifer Honeybourn will throw out her books in the air and let us keep them! Life is SO unpredictable. 😉
them to do things they’ll regret later. Some people are so sure of themselves that they don’t even listen to their heart. But, long story short, everyone has a heart. Kind or mean, jealous or sad. But this book is not about a heart itself. It is about what really lies within. Leah, a 17 year old girl has some…(okay, a lot) of heart problems. Her own heart was rejected by her own body, so she carries around a backpack containing a mechanical heart that can help her live-at least, until she receives a heart transplant. However, with her rare blood type, AB, there’s only (I’m afraid to say, ) a little splinter of hope. Leah wants to receive a heart for some obvious reasons: living life to its fullest, and most of all, not dying. But there are also some reasons that aren’t always so obvious. Like, having a guy who you’ve had a crush on since grade 7 finally notice you. That was before she finds out a heart is, in fact, available. But a while after, she realizes that the heart currently beating in her chest might be her crush’s brother- who, apparently, according to the news, killed himself in an act of suicide. Matt, her longtime crush,has finally asked her out, but Leah feels like a whole other person. In addition to that, both she and Matt have been having similar dreams that are telling them that Matt’s brother DIDN’T in fact, commit suicide. But as time goes on, Leah feels skeptical. Did he, or did he not commit suicide?
grade. However, Mei can’t seem to tell her parents the reality: That she sleeps in biology class, has a crush on her classmate Darren Takahashi (who is NOT Taiwanese), and that she hates germs. But her parents want her to: become a doctor, marry a preapproved Taiwanese Ivy Leaguer, and produce a litter of babies. Mei can’t choose to follow her parents rules, or follow her heart.
whole book is covered in blue from beginning to end) but saying that, well, not really anything in particular. I just really liked how the author chose Words in ‘Deep Blue’ as her title, because it really provides and shows deep meaning.
