Summary

All of Emily's friends seem so perfect: skinny and pretty and fun and flirty. Emily loathes her slightly overweight body, and as her secret bitterness begins to eat away at her soul, she faces the dark prospect of developing an eating disorder.

This ninth book in the TrueColor teen fiction series, Faded Denim takes a serious look at the important issues of body image and eating disorders. Includes discussion questions.
 

Review

Plot: Emily isn't the thinnest person in the world. But honestly, she doesn't care. Well, that is, until her best friend starts trying to be a model. She's dragged along to fashion shows, shopping trips, and even a modeling camp. There she learns tips and tricks on how to lose weight. Of course, it's not the healthy way...
 
Character(s): Emily- She starts out as a girl who is a little insecure but doesn't really mind her extra weight. She rolls her eyes when her dad comments on her eating rather than getting offended. But throughout the book she starts to hate herself more and more until she can't even stand it. Her entire character changed.
 
Cover: All the covers of these books have the same basic theme. The only difference is the girl looks different and the color is different. I actually like the simplicity of it. Especially because there are so many.
 
Closing Thoughts: I'm only giving this book a two out of four unfortunately. I liked it a lot and it definitely was relateable and had good themes. But I've been reading a lot of realistic books like this (such as Wintergirls) and it wasn't anything special. It was good and I enjoyed reading it, but it definitely wasn't a page turner.

Top Ten Tuesdays: Books I Want to Reread

TTT is a weekly feature held by the Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic are books that we would love to reread. Here's my list: 1. The Book Thief by Mark Zusak Beautifully written and a different take and perspective on a huge event in our history. This was a school read, but everyone in my class was captivated by it. 2. Got Fangs? by Katie Maxwell It was absolutely hilarious and some of the best kissing scenes I've ever read. I kept up with this series and would love to reread how it all began between Fran and Ben. 3. Beastly by Alex Flinn This is one of the best YA book I've read so far. It's so simple with being based in Brooklyn, but I love the development of the characters and budding romance. 4. The Replacement  by Brenna Yovanoff I tried to read this at first and could not get through it. I wan to read it in the future since I know how well-written it is and what the heck Mackie is. 5. Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce I absolutely love adaptions and th...

Review: Night School (Blood Coven #5) by Mari Mancusi

Synopsis: Vampires, Slayers and…FAIRIES? Sunny and Rayne McDonald are about to get SCHOOLED. After their parents’ shocking revelation about their fae heritage and an attack on their lives, the McDonald twins find themselves on the run—forced to hide out at Riverdale Academy , a boarding school for vampire slayers, deep in the Swiss Alps. With no cells, no internet, and no way to contact their vampire boyfriends—the twins are on their own. Being a vampire stuck in a school full of slayers isn’t easy. Especially with no blood substitute stocked on campus. Soon Rayne finds herself succumbing to her bloodlust and losing control—especially around the arrogant, but devastatingly handsome Corbin Billingsworth the Third—who isn’t sure whether he wants to kiss her…or kill her. But when Sunny starts acting strange, Rayne realizes Riverdale Academy may be hiding some deadly secrets of its own—leading to a showdown in Fairyland that may cost the twins their lives.
