review 1: No more us for you by David Hernandez is a great book. When i read the tittle "no more us for you" i thought immediately to myself it had to do with a relationship. I was attracted with the book cover because it's a picture of red vines and i imagined that they would be a symbol of the book or describe the main characters. By reading the brief summary on the back of the book it attracted my attention because its based on teen life experiences. The tittle is really attracting for those readers that love reading romantic/tragedy books. It makes people observe and figure out what the tittle is actually trying to say.This book was filled with many themes like love/sadness/anger/friendship and danger. Its basically about a group of teenagers that have to go through hard experi... moreences in life. Some go through pregnancy and healing from a loved ones death. The main characters are Carlos and Isabel which are the narrators of the book. Isabel goes through a deep decision because she meets a girl that changes her friendship. Carlos is recovering from a break up. When Isabel and Carlos meet their lives change completely. I think the authors purpose was to let teenagers know about the consequences they can get when they make wrong decisions. David Hernandez wants his readers to really observe his book by detail and discover its hidden meaning. A big quote in this book is "No More Coitus for You" it is repeated a couple of times and has a meaning in the whole story. He wrote this book for teenagers with the same problems and experiences.I think this book is really good it had some surprising unexpected moments. There was some shocking moments that were really unexpected. I think that the book would've been better if the ending was different. The ending should have been exciting and happy and left us without any unanswered questions in our mind. I personally thought the ending wasn't really good its was romantic but left me with many unanswered questions. Other than that this book is one of the best I've read.
review 2: Overall, a good read. The lives of the characters are entwined deftly and the emotion rings true. I did not enjoy the alternating perspective chapters because I really wanted to stay in Carlos's head, not in Isabel's and there was just a little too much drama packed in-- unintended pregnancies and resulting fights about whether to end them, deaths of friends and boyfriends, neglectful parents-- it's a lot to fit into one book. I did like Carlos's character, and also thought that the setting was nicely evoked. less
