Vegan Virgin Valentine

by Carolyn Mackler
- Rated 0 stars
“I'm reading the sequel to this right not called Guyaholic starring Ms. V.

I enjoyed Mara's tale in Vegan Virgin Valentine as much as I did Mackler's The Earth, My Butt and other big round things.”

The Nanny Diaries

by Emma McLaughlin, Nicola Kraus

“I really enjoyed reading this story. I read it shortly after reading The Devil Wears Prada and was taken aback again at just how cruel some people can be but this time in terms of their marital and parental relationships.”

Go Ask Alice

by James Jennings
- Rated 5 stars
“I read this as a pre-teen and again several years later. I never learned of it possibly being fiction until maybe last year. I am not bothered about it being fiction because I know that all fiction has some truth to the actual story.

This book definitely scared me about what drugs could do.”

- Rated 5 stars
