Say What You Will by Cammie McGovern

Say What You Will by Cammie McGovern
4 Stars

Described as The Fault in Our Stars meets Eleanor & Park, this story is about a bond between 2 people who feel rejected by society. Amy has cerebral palsy and can't walk without a walker or talk without an electronic voice box. Matthew is a shy boy who has OCD. The two come together when Amy decides she wants her aides to be fellow students her senior year of high school. The two quickly become close and form a bond that perhaps only they understand.

This was a really cute, heartwarming read. It was easy to feel the feelings that the characters were. I haven't read Eleanor & Park, so I can't compare it to that one, but I think in the aspect of the 2 teens with issues can relate to The Fault in Our Stars.

It Had to Be You: Gossip Girl Prequel by Cecily von Ziegesar

The prequel goes back before all of the gossip girl drama and introduces Nate, Serena, and Blair. Serena and Blair both claim to be in love with Nate, thus creating a love triangle. The story throws in Dan and Jenny Humphries as well as Vanessa. So we're introduced to most of the main characters in the rest of the books.

I've read the rest of the series and it was pretty decent, but I have to say this was one of the worst books I've read in a long time. I kept reading hoping it would get better and by the time I realized it wasn't going to, I was too far in to stop. The storyline with Dan, Jenny, and Vanessa had nothing to do with the rest of the characters and seemed like it was just in there for filler. It's a good thing that I read the other ones first because if I had read this first, I wouldn't have read any of the others in the series.
