Summary: It was hard to put down
Review: It was a great book. Being not much of a reader I actully found this book inspiring. Although the story could never possibly become reality it was lesson to me that you could change yourself if something or someone disired you to. I read this book in less than 2 hours it was nice.

Summary: John Hughes for the '90s
Review: Like the famous godfather of teen movies, John Hughes, Todd Strasser has captured what it's like to be a teenager in the 1990s (opposed to the '80s) with problems surrounded by the cliquey teen caste system. In this book, Todd Strasser introduces his first of the Time Zone High trilogy (opposed to John Hughes's Shermer High quartet), with the chubby and drama queen, Bolita "Bo" Vine and the handsome and injured Kyle Winthrop. Bo and Kyle are from opposite ends of the social pool. Bo is a smart, calm misfit who most likely be with the rebels and weirdos, while Kyle is a brave, hunky jock, who's knee is injured, and who is most likely invited to all the good parties by the rich and popualr students.

The action starts there.

The fall play is starting and Bo is, as usual, the stage manager, although she'd rather be center stage. Pretty shadowed, she hides with her Gothy bud and her artist-cute friend on the catwalk in the auditorium. Bo is tired of being the way she is--when she finds out Kyle is what she wants. Kyle is tired of sitting out, watching the games and being his pretty, smart and popular girlfriend, Chloe Frost's little puppet, not doing what he wants. So he does something rebellous--he signs up for the school play.

Bo and Kyle clash a lot while she babysits his half-brother, and they both go swimming--she to work out, him to get away and exercise his legs. When Bo changes her entire look from a drab, sulky look to a pretty, gorgeous look, she tries to win Kyle over, but it's not that easy. Kyle still has major feelings for Chloe, even if she is a real ... and she's always being the lead in the plays. Bo is lovestruck.

This book is a typical, but comedic, story about high school love from different social stratesphere. It cycles the life of two teens, who are different but have the same problems. It's a cross between Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles--but the outcome is not going to be so fair. Read this. It's amazing. It's like the John Hughes movies-turned-books.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: How I Changed My Life
Review: This book displays a very true and sad point in life. People change the way they live t, think and look like just to attract someone from the opposite sex. The main character Bo, is trying to get an All-Star quater back to ffall in love with her. She changes almost everything about herself just to please him. She decides to go out for the main part in the play "Anne Frank" where kyle is also going to be performing. There is only one problem, Kyle's girlfriend is determined to get that part as well. Of course she has a better chance at the part due to the fact that she is popular and a perfectionest. She is the only thing that stands in the way of Bo and Kyle being together. Bo will do anything to get that part, no matter what it takes. To find out more read the book!
