21 Proms

                                                             
                                                               Every prom date has a story.

   The prom is supposed to be one of the best nights of your life. The many authors like Libba Bray, Cecily von Zeiger, Holly Black and many others create their own prom stories in a humorous way. Some are triumphs, some are disasters. Towards the end of each story I have noticed that all of the different characters that go to their prom change drastically in a very funny way. My rating for the book is from 1 to 5 if its a 1 or 2 I'd burn it, if its a 4 or a 5 I like it and if its a 3, its decent. I rate this book a 3.5, i feel like each story was the same and wasn't that funny and most of the time there wasn't really anything engaging that made me want to laugh or reflect. Overall it was a decent book, I do recommend it to others because maybe they could understand the humor more.

The Earth, my Butt, and other Big Round things

   Virginia Shreves,15 year old teen that is struggling with major insecurity and plus-size inferiority complex. The Earth, my Butt, and other Big Round things  is an eye opening book about teens struggling with insecurity and their weight. Virginia Shreves, an over weight girl, that lives on the web, snarfs junk food and obeys the "fat girl code of conducts". All of her family are brilliant and slim people, she feels left out of the circle and her mom always keeps rubbing it in how she needs to lose weight and be like all the other "normal" girls at school but Virginia has no friends and considers the "normal" girls to be cruel, and the Shreves are a picture perfect family... until a phone call changes everything.  

      This was a real eye opening book about all the insecure teens out there but overall I rate this book a 3.5 out of 5. I didn't really enjoy it, my rating scale is out of 5 and i gave the book a 3.5 because it wasn't bad but its not worth giving it a 5. Nothing really major has happened. Towards the conclusion of the book there where character changes but there wasn't really an interesting turning point towards the conclusion.
