Shakespeare redone

This book is a must-have for any young Shakepeare lovers. It heavily involves 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and retells the story by comparing the actors to their respective roles in the play. Well written love story for the teenage thinker.

True Love - A Must Read

"THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE NEVER DID RUN SMOOTH"is an intriguing book involving Becky and Nemi, two best friends. They each fall in love with a brother and sister, Blake and Leila Harris. Becky loves being with Blake but wonders why she is not as happy as she wishes she could be. She starts getting feelings of jealousy whenever she sees Nemi with Leila. As the teens practice for their school play Becky realizes her true feelings. I like this book because it relates to life and shows you your true love can be right in front of you.

Amazing book! A must read!

This book is about two best friends (Nemi and Becky) who are in High school. When they both "fall in love" , the term used lightly, with a pair of siblings, they scheme of how to get them together. When they acheive their plan however, they find out that it's not really what they want. It is very well written and I suggest all of you out there ages 12 - 19 read it.
