Summary: Someone to Love
Review: In the story "Someone to Love" by Francess Lantz, Sara, on of the main characters who is 15 is an only child. Sara's parents are really strict. Her parents decided that they wanted to adopt a baby. At first Sara feels bad because she thinks that she isn't good enough and thats why her parents want another baby. Later she realizes that maybe that her parents will give all the attention to the baby and they'll stop being so strict. so she agrees with it. Iris is an 18 year old girl who has very little money and is pregnant and decides that giving the baby up for adoption would be the best thing to do. Sara envies the freedom that Iris has and Iris envies the safe home Sara has. This story is written in diary format, Sara isn't writing to her diary, but to the "mystery baby", who is Iris' unborn baby. Even though we only get to hear Saras thoughts, the author still explores all sides of adoption. I would recommend this book to anyone because it keeps you interested and has a vey good plot I rate this book a 5 out of 5.

Summary: An American Library Association "Best Book For Young Adults"
Review: SOMEONE TO LOVE was chosen by the American Library Association as a "Best Book for Young Adults" and by the New York Public Library as a "1998 Book For The Teen Age." As an adoptive parent of a 5-year-old son, I feel well-qualified to write a novel about open adoption.

Summary: Someone To Love
Review: The book I read was called Someone To Love by Francess Lantz. It's a young adult novel about a girl with odd parents over their decision to adopt a baby, fifteen year old Sara finds herself drawn to the birth mother, who is having second thoughts about giving up her child.
What struck me that is so different about others books I have read is that I always read mystery books and romantic books I have never read a adoption book or a young adult book. None of the books that I read were similar.
" I love being the youngest child why do u have to adopt another child so that baby will take my place thats not fair," said Sara. My reaction compares to this because I am the youngest child and my parents were going to adopt a child but ai told them about my feelings and they understood so we never adopted one so that's how this qoute supports me.
I think this book is not for everyone it could be but I don't think it as to be because this book is about adoption so whoever wants to adopt a baby heres a book you should read. I think this book is great only for those who wants to adopt a baby.
