Wintergirls

By Laurie Hales Anderson

This book is about a girl named Lia who is an eighteen year old girl who is struggling with anorexia. The author really showed the thought process of Lia and how she looked at food and beauty well by writing everything that she thought, didn't think and couldn't think. One quote from this book that I think showed this are "Empty is strong" and "I breathe in slowly. Food is life. I exhale, take another breath. Food is life. And that's the problem. When your alive, people can hurt you. Its easier to crawl into a bone cage or a snowdrift of confusion. Its easier to lock everyday out."

Eight Keys

By Suzanne LaFleur

This book is about a girl named Elise who finds a key that opens one of eight door that has always been locked. As she discoveries these keys and whats behind the doors, she learns more about her deceased parents and herself.
"The Trouble all started right before the first day of sixth grade, the last time Franklin and I played Knights." This into didn't really hook me, but it did make me want to know what "the trouble" meant and who Franklin was.
I liked this book, but I didn't love it. It was a pretty quick read though. Not really any maturity warnings.
