review 1: I saw this book in the library by my house and it looked good so I decided to read it. I’m not really sure when the time period or setting was, but it mostly took place around this time and at their school and what they called the neighbors. Gracie deals with her friend Savannah being manipulative and asks Gracie to lie to her loved ones about Savannah. It’s both internal and external, because they end up arguing, and Gracie gets mad at herself and feels really guilty. I think Savannah is dynamic while Gracie is static. Savannah was pretty nice in the beginning, then she turned really mean. While Gracie on the other hand is really nice the whole time and does not change. Gracie is a trustworthy, honest, loyal friend. “You know, because you are dating someone else.”... more (Sheldon 103)The theme, I think is not to cheat on someone. It’s like, what goes around comes back around. I made an inference that Gracie and Savannah would stop being friends. I made multiple predictions that the two boys would find out Savannah was cheating on them etc. Also, I visualized what the people looked like. I would not recommend it. I liked it, it was just a little too boring. Reading a couple of reviews, a lot of people related to this book. I admit in multiple ways I do too. They all enjoyed the book as well. I think I would have liked this book more if it wasn’t so boring in the beginning.
review 2: For Gracie Mooney, a girl that always seemed to worry about the environment, was shy, and liked lizards, having a bestfriend like savanna was the best thing ever. Savanna being an outgoing girl who was always the center of attention, and did whatever was on her mind, Gracie Mooney was the perfect best friend for her. Having a bestfriend means always being there for each other, hanging out all the time, and keeping promises, but Gracie's friendship with Savanna was different. She always seemed to get sucked into drama she didn’t want to be included in, and occasionally had to lie, something Gracie hated doing. At one point Gracie doubts savanna's friendship, but will she ever have the courage to speak her mind? In my opinion this book was great; I would recommend it to teenage girls like me especially if you like reading chick lits. One of the reason I liked this book was the fact that you can relate to the characters because they are in high school, and your mind seems to be familiar with this sort of scenario. I also like the way the author always kept me engaged and on the edge of the chair to persuade me to keep reading. If you like those girl drama books this is the book for you! less
