Book Review: My Ridiculous, Romantic Obsessions by Becca Wilhite (Fiction)

Rating: Cute, light reading
Appropriate for: Teens, Adults
Written in the first person, a first-semester college girl with a low self-esteem goes through some ups and downs before she finds security in a relationship.  I enjoyed this book because it was someone else's roller-coaster ride of emotions, drama, and dating.

Book Review: Being Sixteen by Allyson Braithwaite Condie (LDS fiction)

Rating: Good, worth reading
Appropriate for: Teens, Adults
From the back cover: Being Sixteen is a coming-of-age story about two sisters and their different struggles.  It addresses what it means to have a testimony, what it means to be a friend and a sister, and what's involved in dealing with and overcoming an eating disorder.  I enjoyed this book because it was enlightening, uplifting, and helped me understand a little bit better the struggles of others.
