What Happened to Goodbye By: Sara Dessen
This story is based off of the situation of a girl, name Mclean who lives with her father after her mother cheated on her father with her father's hero/inspiration. Since Mclean lives with her father that owns a restaurant, they move around a lot. Every time they move Mclean gives herself a new name and personality to reinvent herself. At the last move she decides to use her real name and be herself and the boy next door helps her be comfortable to be herself. This novel focuses on finding yourself and who you are and also learning about love and relationships.
I loved this book because of connections I made and how you never really knew what was going to happen next. The author has a great voice in the story and you can tell that she is trying to get the message accross on how important relationships. Also another message is that getting to know who you are first helps you find who others are. This novel is great to focus on the question "who am I?" especially for young people trying find a place in the world.

My Sister's Keeper By: Jodi Picoult
This novel is a story of a young girl that is suffering of leukemia named Kate. Kate is very sick and is coming close to the end of her life so her mom decides to go to a lab and create a child that is genetically capable of helping Kate become healthier and get rid of the leukemia. The child that she creates is soon named Anna. Anna soon is used to bring Kate back to health and in the future gives to Kate her whole life. After being used all of those years, Anna decides she doesn't want to be used any longer and Kate gives up on living and tells Anna to go to court so she cant stop giving to her. In the end a great tragedy occurs but a great gift for one sister.
The author has a strong voice and you can tell she has a great feeling for the story. This novel is a great one that would make anyone tear up and that I believe has a very interesting but twisted ending.
