Jessica LeCroix drops a bomb on her best friend, Ramie: “I’m a lesbian.” Ramie Grant cannot believe her ears. Jess!? Her best friend, her teammate…a homosexual?

Before long other girls on the basketball team find out, and little jokes become vicious attacks. In the end, Ramie must decide if she will stand by Jessica’s side or turn her back on a friend in need.

The tenth book in the teen fiction series True Colors, Bright Purple examines the subjects of sexuality, identity, and forgiveness. Includes discussion questions.

Review
Plot: Jessica and Ramie have been best friends since they were little girls. But then Jess admits to Ramie one day that she's lesbian. Ramie turns her back on her best friend and decides she can't handle having a best friend who is lesbian. Through the course of the story she learns what it means to be a real friend and how to stick up for the ones you love.
 
Character: Ramie- Honestly, Ramie is the reason I'm giving this book such a low rating. Once her best friend (I mean literally the best friend in her life) turns out to be lesbian, she just drops her. No questions asked, no support whatsoever. She avoids her and belittles her and turns on her  best friend. I guess in the end she gets a little better but I just don't get her. How could you completely abandon someone you were so close to?
 
Cover: It's the same basic cover as the others in this series, matching the color in it's title.
 
Closing Thoughts: Maybe I'm being harsh on these books, but honestly I think they could be so much better! They talk about such serious topics but usually end up letting me down. This one especially. I hated the main character and found myself being annoyed through the whole thing. 
 
Where to find Melody Carlson:

Basically, this story is about a woman, Maria and a man, Mephistos (Meths)... who happens to have a tail. Their first encounter is struck with a frozen chicken, and both characters are thrust into this unusual relationship between a woman and a demon. After Maria had met Meths, she begins to encounter a strange black shadow that follows her around, not understanding what is going on. The story progresses at a steady pace and keeps the reader wanting more.

{Friday Round-Up} Book Blogger Hop :: Follow Friday :: TGIF

Q: Let’s talk crazy book titles! Highlight one or two (or as many as you like!) titles in your personal collection that have the most interesting titles! If you can’t find any, feel free to find one on the internet! A: I'll stay true and look at my bookshelf. I don't have any crazy titles, but one that I got for my birthday is The Element Encyclopedia of Vampires: An A-Z of the Undead by Theresa Cheung . My sister bought it for me since she said this is "exactly" what I needed. Q: How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently? A: I love romance! I think that I'm a hopeless romantic, so I NEED romance. I can't get into a book if it has absolutely no romance. I've always been into urban fantasy, romance, and Young Adult, but I think I'm getting into more historical fiction. Q: Author Block Party: If you could gather a handful of authors to hang out with, who would you ...
