The Elite by Kiera Cass

It's now down to 6 girls all competing for Prince Maxon's heart and the competition is heating up! America is struggling with the choice between Maxon and Aspen, all she wants is more time but she's running out of it. Both Maxon and Aspen want her to decide but she doesn't want to lose either of them. This book does move rather slowly, as many people say in reviews, but I find it a necessary part in the series. America is very indecisive with her emotions in this book and it can feel slightly obsessive. It takes a lot to put up with and push back the constant back and forth of her love for Maxon or Aspen. This may be the classic 'filler book' but don't give up on the series, I honestly feel like if you enjoyed the first book you need to just push past this one to get to the rest! 

Ignore the reviews, just read it!!

Need by Carrie Jones

 Zara is obsessed with phobias, that’s her thing. She feels that if you know the name to something it’s not as scary. When she moved to Maine to be with her grandmother she saw someone that she thought she saw back at her old house. She tries to convince herself it's all in her head but she can’t prevent the feeling that she is being stalked. She soon finds out that this man stalking her isn’t human and that she's not the only one who can see him, he leaves behind a strange gold dust and his footprints just stop like he's disappeared. This book is filled with magic, and adventure. I recommend this book to anyone who liked Glimmerglass by Jenna Black or just anyone who likes a good mystical story. Now there are a lot of thumbs down reviews on this book and they all make okay points. Many reviews compare the beginning of this book to Twilight, awkward girl, bad family situation, whatever. I was a Twilight fan just like any other teenage girl but I honestly disagree with this. There's not enough resemblance to Twilight to not read this amazing book because of that. This book is well written and completely worth the read.

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

The Notebook is a beautiful story told by a man named Noah. Noah and his wife are both in a nursing home when the book takes place. Noah's wife Allie has dementia and can't remember who Noah is, but Noah goes to her everyday and tells her their story. The book starts off with Allie coming back to town and going to see Noah, it had been years since they saw each other. Allie was married and Noah had just bought the house he promised long ago to fix up for her. And just like that the story of Allie and Noah is told. With flashes of present and past this story is a whirlwind of love and sadness. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romance, like full out no other stuff in between romance.

The Selection by Kiera Cass

 The Bachelor meets royalty, the Selection is where 35 girls get chosen to go to the castle and fight to get chosen by the prince. America Singer is a 5, one of the lowest castes, and gets chosen for the Selection. This is the last thing she wanted, she just applied to make her mother and her secret boy friend happy. She's in love with someone else, and even tells Prince Maxon this, but he keeps her in the Selection so she can keep getting money for her family. Maxon admits that he's fallen for America and she doesn't know how she feels about it. Will she fight for Maxon's heart or leave the Selection for good? I recommend this to people who like a good royal story, but still likes a little drama and excitement.

Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales

Arden is just a normal girl with a crapy life, her mom left her and her brother, and her dad works all of the time. Arden stumbles upon a blog called Tonight the Streets Are Ours, it is basically just someone's diary. She keeps reading it and then when her boy friend ditches their anniversary plans she decides to go find him in New York, but he's not everything she thought he'd be. I recommend this to anyone who likes a good love story, and travel tales. It is one of those read in one night reads, and totally keeps you on your toes.
