My Review: Not Really Gone

May2

“Not Really Gone” by Blair Sharpe, is a memoir. I was able to relate so well with the chaos that Blair grew up with, all the sorrows and triumphs. This story touched me in a manner, that, in some ways, I didn’t suffer as I grew up. Sharpe’s book relates to teenagers, and adults in so many ways. Thank you Blair!

Review: The Bloody Shoe Affair by Joy York

May1

“The Bloody Shoe Affair” by Joy York. I bought this book to read and review as a member of RRBC. This genre was my favorite as a teenager until I found romances. “The Bloody Shoe Affair” by Joy York, is a nice YA read, especially for girls, since the two main characters are girls, Christi and Lily. Joy brings out the scenes nicely and both girls characters are brought forth nicely as well. The story was bumpy throughout, and really didn’t start to fly until almost one third of the way into the book but the girls really shined. The suspense and the little bit of romance helped in rounding out the story line. Joy York certainly has the appeal for understanding teenagers and the ability to write about them in a manner that truly to speak to teenagers. Nicely done.
