It was a little too young for me once I started reading it, so I really just skimmed. But the plot is cute.

Losing Clementine is a story about Clementine Pritchard who, in 30 days, is planning to kill herself.
This was nothing like what I expected. There were sad situations but the whole book wasn't depressing.She had carefully planned her leaving down to the last penny. Everything was taken care of until Jenny calls. Then her life really did change forever.
I absolutely loved it. The author's passion shown through in Clementine's character. I can't wait for more novels by this author.

Definitely a chick lit story, Ginny gets pregnant after a night with her ex. Her friends are the best ever and help her with every aspect of it. It was kind of predictable until Josh came back, left, and came back again. I wasn't expecting his mother to lie about his feelings, or even to not mention she had a baby - HIS baby.

Following Polly is not the story of Polly, rather the story of Alice Teakle, who loses her job and takes to following Polly Dawson, a now-famous college colleague. Following her unfortunately lands Alice in the wrong place at the wrong time, and she is suspected of murdering Polly.
Alice is a very simple girl, always in the background, never really noticed by anyone but her friend Jean.
Polly is the one everyone wants to be, but everyone else hates.
Jean is the best friend, supporting Alice through everything.
Alice's mother, Angela, was Alice's rock until her father and brother died. Everything changed when Angie met Barnes.
Barnes is the evil stepfather. He keeps Alice from her mother so he has more time with Angie and doesn't lose her to Alice.
Charlie is the handsome ex-lawyer who potentially saves Alice's life more than once. Although it is not his real name, charlie was a college crush who knew nothing about being a crush at all.
Other minor characters help bring this hilarious mysterious love story to a close. I was surprised at how fast Polly was killed. I didn't realize the whole story would be trying to clear Alice's name. But the ways in which she and Charlie accomplish this task are altogether funny, suspenseful and even slap-on-the-forehead-"you should've had a V8" silly.

Very thrilling, which surprised me because I dont normally read books about 14 yr-olds anymore. It is, however, a fantasy/sci-fi, which appeals to me very much. I enjoyed the storyline very much, with the story being set in London, which meant I got to use my English accent. Janie's attitude reminds me of my own, Benjamin is a very well written character in that he is stubborn, but doesn't want to be seen as a coward in any way and together they make a great pair. I wasn't thrilled with the ending. Benjamin kind of disappointed me when he made Janie forget. Even sending back her diary at the end didn't really make it better. I'll be happy with another book though. If this turns out to be a series, I will certainly follow.
As has been said before, fans of Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, and and Riordan book will love and adore. Its a great book to read before going to bed if you're not really tired but you need to wind down.

Sally Sin: Now Lucy Hamilton, she has tried as hard as she can to escape the life of being a spy. With her son Theo to take care of and her husband Will always away on business meetings, she struggles with the nanny spy, Simon, Ian and her past life. Will questioning her ways doesn't help and her friends knowing something is up makes it harder for her to stay discreet.
Simon Still: Sally's boss in the undercover agency. He seems to me to have a hard outer shell but might actually care for his clients, deep...deep, very deep down inside the depths of his soul.
Ian Blackford: the most notorious to go bad, he knows everything at anytime and spent his life capturing Sally Sin. He always threatens to kill her but seems to have a thing for her that Sally can't see for some reason. Its a book though, so she wont realize it until later.
The book as a whole is extremely entertaining. If this somehow becomes a series, i would hope to own and read them all. Now that i have a job, i can see my salary going to more books. Working at the library i have an unlimited access to an unlimited amount of free books, but i have the need for a new bookcase....
