September Books!

Flat-Out Celeste Jessica Park.  

This is the third book in the Flat-Out series. If you haven’t read Flat-Out Love or Flat-Out Matt, get on it.  I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this one because in the previous novels, Celeste is a very interesting (read: unique and different) character.  But this was amazing.  The moment I finished, I immediately wanted to read it over again.  This book explores how one with social anxiety communicates and connects with others.  It was very well done, which I’ve come to expect from Jessica Park, and it it was just so darn heart warming.

After I’m Gone Laura Lippman. 

This was a book that was pretty hyped in blogland.  It’s the story of a man who disappears and leaves behind a wife, a girlfriend and three daughters.  I’ve mentioned this book before here.  While it had potential, it wasn’t my favorite.  There was a good bit of storyline that just didn’t seem necessary.

Change of Heart Jodi Picoult
This book is about a woman who has experienced more loss than one person ever should as she fights for her daughter’s life.  She’s faced with unimaginable decisions.  I was hooked immediately, and every time I thought I knew how this would all go, I was wrong.  Couldn’t put it down.
Vanishing Acts Jodi Picoult
This book is about trying to find the right in the wrong, and how our lives and our memories might not be what we think they are.  The storyline was completely intriguing, but once again I was lost in a sea of unnecessary side story lines.  Still worth a read, though!

    Sometimes I think I might be the only person in the world who hasn't read a Jodi Picoult book. Are they Nicholas Sparks-like? Maybe I'll put Jessica Park on my list….
    I desperately need to find a few terrific books to finish out the year. I'm working on 3 right now.

    Those Jodi Piccoult books are so hard to chose! Sometimes they are great, but sometimes they are really too predictable or just blah. 19 Minutes is my favourite book by her, if you haven't read it I recommend it!
