review 1: Loann has always wanted to be like her sister Claire:*Pretty*Popular*PerfectPlus she always had a crush on Josh,who is now Claire's boyfriend.Loann always thought she never stood a chance with someone so gorgeous and popular.But now he's being too attentive to her.It's a dream come true especially after she hears the break up news from her sister.Loann wants to have the kind of life Claire has always had,without really knowing it's cost.So she doesn't understand why Claire is having an eating disorder and is becoming a loner.Loann's character is believable,with her faults and continuos struggle.This book deals with teenagers facing some serious problems and I can't say much without spoiling it.At first,the plot didn't seem attractive enough when I read the goodreads synops... moreis.But the reason behind choosing to read this book was Denise Jaden,the author.I had read her book 'Losing Faith' and totally loved it so THAT made me check her other books.And wasn't I sated??This book has a perfect blend of siblings' love,friendship,and romance in it.I loved every moment of reading this book,it's one of my favourites now.Would recommend it to contemperory andrealistic fiction lovers.
review 2: Never Enough by Denise Jaden was by far the best book I have read this past year. Her writing style was similar to one of my favorite authors, so I easily understood and felt connected to some sections of the book. Denise Jaden uses a lot of dialogue and great description to paint a picture in the reader’s mind, which is why it led me to rate this book a whole 5 stars. Never Enough is about two sisters, with an unexplainable bond; Claire is the gorgeous, popular one and Loann, who can’t see her beauty, but instead is jealous of her sister’s beauty; “Okay, I knew I was no match for her talent and beauty, but was I that unimportant?” (17). She starts to put all the jealousy aside though once her sister shows signs of something Loann never would have expected. Because Loann never would have guessed, by the time she figured out her one and only sister had a eating disorder, it was too late. With many instances where I felt like I could connect, I instantly fell in love with this book. For one instance, Loann says, “Things had definitely changed between us” (90). Ever since high school has started, my relationship with my sister hasn’t been going so well, so I connected well with this line.From beginning to end, Jaden didn't give up on giving as much detail to the readers as she could. Some of the examples were very blunt and cute, for example, “A little blond Superman curl fell onto his forehead”(13). If you’re looking for a very touched story and family and love, read this amazing story. Jaden had me very moved and content with her writing style of the book. less

overall this book was pretty good. It felt a little drawn out at the end. 3.5 stars.
