First off sorry for slacking on the book reviews but would you believe I have not gotten to read a book all summer? Seriously summer school sucks! Okay now that is out of my system. I have had a stack of books from the Library that is way over due and wanted to read at least one of them before I returned them. So out of my stack I chose Take Me There.
This book is broken up in three different point of views. Rhiannon, Nicole and James are all friends. Each of them have seem to have a problem that they are going through.
Rhiannon has just been dumped by her first real boyfriend and she is heartbroken. Reading her thoughts and how she handled the break up remind me of when my high school boyfriend broke up with me. She handles it as any young teenage girl does. With denial, questions and wondering how/when the pain will end.
Nicole is Rhiannon's best girlfriend. This girl has her own sense of style and has a total artist soul. She is the opposite of Rhiannon. Where Rhiannon is so organized you can chalk it up to OCD, Nicole can't even keep track of her ipod charger cord. She broke up with her boyfriend Danny and no one knows exactly why. Let alone Danny who is still head over heels for her. She has a huge crush on her Math teacher that no one knows about and there is something about her past that she wont tell anyone. Even her best friend.
James is your typical guy who is dense to his own feelings. Where girls he goes out with can see he is madly in love with Rhiannon it takes him a bit to get there on his own. Super computer smart and a little geeky he makes the perfect best guy friend for Rhiannon. They click well even if they both don't realize it yet.
The cool thing about this book is its only in the time span of a few short days but you get to see things from all three points of view. Its not confusing how she goes about it. Its even labeled in each chapter who it is and what day it is to help you out. This book brings me back to my high school years and not in a bad way. Its realistic I think how everyone handles things and the way they all band together to get the mean girl. I think this would make a cute movie actually.
So if your looking for a quick simple read that brings you back to school. This is a good book to do that
grade is B plus
