Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

Lia and Cassie are best friends in a dangerous competition...to see who can be the thinnest. Cassie ends up losing her life and Lia is left behind to fight her demons and deal with not being able to save Cassie.
The story follows Lia and her eating disorder and the pain and loss that she is going through.

I"m pretty sure this is a YA book. It was just a mediocre read to me. This is the 2nd book I've read by Anderson and don't think that I really care for her style of writing.

Cherry Cheesecake Murder by Joanne Fluke - 4 Stars

Book #8 in the Hannah Swensen mystery series. 

In this installment, a movie crew has excited the locals by coming to Lake Eden. Many of the locals have been asked to have small parts in the movies and they are over the moon. But that mood changes when a prop gun goes off killing the producer. Of course, Hannah is out to find out who had a motive to kill the often rude producer.

I always find the Hannah Swensen books to be fun, light reads. This one was no different.

Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven - 4 Stars

Libby and Jack are 2 high school students that everyone things they know all about. Libby, formerly nicknamed America's Fattest Teen and Jack, super popular kid. Both have secrets. Libby lost her mother, but aspires to be a dancer. Jack suffers from face-blindness.
The two end up tangled up in a cruel high school game and find themselves in community service together. The more time they spend together the more they discover about themselves and the world around them.

This was a warm and fuzzy, what I'm assuming to be YA, read. I think that Libby's character was a little more developed than Jack's character, but over all I enjoyed the book.
