[Review originally posted on Rather be Reading] So what would you do if the entire school was grieving a girl you’d never met but thought you wanted to replace? Imagine that you move into a new house. You are trying to settle there, but you also see how everyone else did things before you. How they lived and loved. The people that they surrounded themselves with. It’s like you’re surrounded by their shadows. Aside from you, the house is empty and abandoned – those people are long gone with absolutely no explanation for their disappearance. All the things and people they loved remain. You’re pushed to be a replacement. You’re constantly reminded of how those other people did things better, bigger, differently than you. You can’t replace them. In fact, you don’t want to. It sounds overwhelming, doesn’t it? For the new girl, it was. This new girl, nameless until the end of the book, was given the chance I wish I’d had. A chance to go to boarding school and to break out of the mold of her hometown. As a huge fan of Harry Potter, when she’s finally accepted her senior year, she expects lifelong friendships to be formed just like the ones of Harry, Hermoione, and Ron. The reality is much different. She’s constantly compared to a girl she doesn’t know and one she may never know if Becca doesn’t return. She’s not trying to replace Becca and while she doesn’t make an effort to be Miss Popularity, everyone assumes she’s trying to make them forget their lost friend. The story is told from Becca and the new girl’s perspectives. We go back in time to get the truth about Becca’s life and we learn of the many lies she told to everyone at the school. We see present day from the new girl’s point of view. The stories blend easily and effortlessly together. With subtle hints we’re able to piece together the puzzle of Becca’s disappearance. This book was full of confusing friendships and dating relationships, incredible amounts of animosity, and raging emotions over the loss of Becca. Speaking of insane emotions – Dana, the new girl’s roommate, was full of them. This chick was seriously messed up. She ranged from nice to deceptive to downright aggressive; she seemed extremely bi-polar. I had no love whatsoever for Dana; she treated everyone with such contempt. There were hints that she knew the truth about what happened to Becca and I just couldn’t wait for her to spill everything. Her behavior was so suspicious, and she seemed extremely protective over the two men that were in Becca’s life. Max and Johnny were two boys that utterly complicated the entire situation. Somehow Becca was involved with BOTH of these boys. When they would pop in and out of the new girl’s life, I questioned their character and trustworthiness. I felt extremely protective over this girl who just seemed to be thrown to the wolves. She had absolutely no one she could talk to, and I just wanted to be there to help her through all the drama. I’m a girl who enjoys a good love story, but things were so mixed up that I actually preferred her staying away from the boys because I didn’t want her heart to be broken. (Or for Dana to go psycho on her.) This story was meaty and complicated. It moved swiftly and though the story is dense, it never felt overwhelming. With the alternating points of view and flashbacks, this story could have been difficult to follow. There is a lot to take in and Harbison did a great job making sure everything flowed well. I felt so compelled to read as fast as I could so I would figure out what happened to Becca. (And, if I’m being honest, I wanted to know the new girl’s name.) New Girl will hit bookshelves on January 31st. Don’t forget to add it to your to-read list and pick up a copy! You’ll anxiously be awaiting answers, but it’s definitely unpredictable and worth the wait.

My rating: 5/5 stars Remember to stop by my blog! *May contain some spoilers* I didn't have a clue, what kind of book this would be, when I borrowed it from my library. I just checked the frontcover and thought that it looked nice and simple, black with one white feather flowing. Though I was scared, that since it has 553 pages, I would never actually read the book. Luckily, this isn't what happened. As I said in my earlier post, I was reading Finnish edition, and had to start this book twice. First time I only read first 16 pages, and was exhausted. I thought that this book isn't for me, that it's just way too slow. The second time I jumped to where I left first time, and it took only two more pages to turn _really_ interesting. After that I couldn't stop reading. Seriously. The story really took me over. It's truly wonderfull to find this kind of book, these are rare and just.. worth reading. The main character is a girl named Rebecca. Occasionally she's a little silly and/or childish, but that doesn't really bother me, which is nice for a change. Usually I'm just rolling my eyes and thinking "man, aren't you a silly one..". I could just feel her pain, when she was apart from Lucian. Only thing, I didn't like so much, was the ending. It was really really short, only few pages, and I could've just kept reading. But then again, if I love a book, I don't want it to end ever. Because I feel like I'm losing a friend when the story ends. I'm also a sucker for happy endings, so I did actually cry in the end, when Lucian wasn't human anymore. I need that Cinderella-ending "and they lived happily ever after". Overall, I need to buy a copy for myself. I need this book to my bookshelf. My bookshelf isn't perfect without this book. Love, Monaliz @ Mind Reading?

I either read this book while taking a course on dream psychology at Union Theological Seminary in New York City or, a few years later, read this book to review the kind of material we covered in the class there.

The research and information about nutrition that went into this book is astounding. Colbert really condensed a lot of great information into a very compact book (it's shorter still when you consider that it's mostly images of healthy foods) but the weird religious elements seem so random and crammed into every chapter. If the author skipped the evangelical aspects of how god wants us to be healthy and how he gave us vitamins, it would have been a much stronger recommendation.

I thought the story overall was interesting. I'm not a fan of the way this author writes so I was a little annoyed and would skip paragraphs sometimes.

First book of compilations was better than this sequel (but did not appear in goodreads' list of books) : DROPPED THREADS - What We Aren't Told: Carol Shiels, Marjorie Anderson et all.

我在上次评论中说过:卡罗琳·内恩(Carol Lynne)在阅读的每本书中都表现得更好。 《校园渴望》系列的第一场作品令人愉快,但并不令人印象深刻。一个好故事,快速简单,没有太多戏剧性。在第二次婚姻中,吕克的儿子马克斯(卢克和贾斯汀是第一次婚姻的主要人物),仍为失去尼克斯而感到悲痛,尼克是他的第一个也是唯一的情人。尼克死于车祸,麦克斯在方向盘后。没关系,这不是他的错。没关系,两年后他与尼克的关系也不一样。当他失去爱人时,马克斯也失去了生活的希望。但是他的生活发生了一些变化,他梦想着成为一个指挥官,一个表情清晰的人:他的希腊历史教授亚历克(Alec)。 Alec正在观察Max,而他只是在等待Max停止哀悼失去的爱人。但是Alec他不是一个普通人,他喜欢在自己的私人生活中成为一名真正的Dom,他喜欢打电话给Babas(父亲)并称呼他的爱人小男人。他喜欢保重和保护自己的男人,他还在他的阴茎上方刺上了“保护者”!而且他像地狱般嫉妒。但实际上,他的主导行为只会导致在恋爱中拥有很多占有欲和指挥力,并决定Max的生活,Max发现他喜欢被Alec指挥。因此,除了贾斯汀,马克斯的养父之外,其他一切都还不错,而且马克斯和亚历克之间的年龄相差很小。在这本小说中,我读到的人物性格研究要多于其他小说,而且这个故事在我看来似乎更好地计划和发展。而且,它也为下一个即将推出的产品提供了良好的预期。 http://www.amazon.com/dp/1906590281/?...
