This book is on my TBR stack. It contains Cracked Up to Be and Some Girls Are, the latter of which was originally a book on the reading list of West Ashley High School for this summer, but then pulled because of parent protest. What happened next is very cool, much cooler than banned books. Book lovers of the internet rose to the occasion and have supplied literally hundreds (yes, hundreds. 830 at the last count, I think) of copies for teens to read. Read about the adventure here. I have picked up this copy to give to my granddaughter, who fits the age of the target audience. And I will read it, too, though there are elements of the story that seem not to my taste. But hey, I believe in freedom to read, and freedom to choose when to stop reading.

Courtney Summers’ This Is Not a Test turned out to be one of my favorite books of 2012, though I never would have guessed it. Thus, I was thrilled to get a review copy of What Goes Around, which conveniently contains the two Summers books I have yet to read. I do not know what I’ll do with my life now that I have no more Courtney Summers. All the Rage needs to hurry up.
