Excellent YA fiction!, April 12 2011
By Michelle Sutton - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I told myself I would just take a peek at the story and go back to reading something else on my kindle. Well, I couldn't stop until I finished the book! That's a good story.Shattered made me cry. Several times. It was a beautiful story and so tragic at the same time. I loved how realistic the author made the daughter's issues, especially when it came to guilt over what happened and blaming herself. How she dealt with the pain using pills for a crutch to get her through the tough spots was well done. Her increasing dependency on them was well done, too. I loved how the various stages of grief were naturally included in the story. They were shown in such as way as to help the main character understand the different cycles of grief that she was going through. I loved the new guy in her life and how supportive he was. That crazy aunt started to grow on me, too.
This story was throughly engrossing and a fantastic portrayal of how guilt and self-blame erodes who you are inside. The author did a great job showing how guilt and regret can destroy so many things in your life. But the author doesn't leave the reader with a hopeless feeling. Carlson uses the people in Cleo's life to draw her out and get her to face her demons. I loved how her being honest and disclosing the truth about her feelings of guilt actually freed her soul to heal. This was so well done. There were no pie-in-the-sky resolutions and healing was shown as tough work, which I appreciated. There are plenty of unrealistic stories in the YA genre. This novel was not one of them. For that reason, and the fact that I was so moved by the story that I cried buckets several times, this book is making my best fiction list for 2011.

OK, but should have been less after-school special. *spoilers included*, April 29 2011

This review is from: 2 Peter and Jude: A Daughters Regret (Paperback)
I just finished this book, and while it was an easy read, it was not intriguing. Within the first couple of pages, I knew what the tragedy would be. No subtlety. It was more than obvious that someone would die. The problem was that the set up was soooo heavy-handed. The mom was VERY overbearing. I am a Christian, and I grew up in a somewhat (obviously) sheltered environment, but nothing like this. Our parents let us take the bus places or even drive to those places. We were allowed to reasonably hang out with our friends. The way the mom shot down her daughter in every way possible, she was begging for the girl to rebel. I thought it was a little extreme to have the mother die (not just die, MURDERED) to prove a point. I thought the guilt laid at Cleo's feet was too much. Granted, she disobeyed (which I don't condone), but at 17, what teenager (yes, even us Christians) don't make plans with their friends? Her mom was just way too overprotective for a kid who was headed into college in the fall, and it bothered me that there was no reflection on that at all. Just BAM! Mom's dead. Bring on the guilt. Oh, and here's your similarly overprotective aunt. The drug addiction was also convenient and easily dealt with. Didn't seem real at all. I don't think they ever explained why her mom had the pills. It would have been more plausible if she had some type of ballet injury and was already taking them and increased her intake to "numb" the pain. Then, I could've bought how easily she got addicted.It wasn't a bad read, but it just reminded me too much of one of those NBC teen specials.

Great Book., April 16 2011
By Kira Lynn - Published on Amazon.com

This is the first book I read on my Kindle. I would state now, this is more for the teenage audience(like myself). Not to ruin a plot but the girl gets hooked on drugs and deals with minor life issues after the passing of someone important(don't want to give it away if it's not already stated in the description). I give it full stars because it was a good book and I would suggest anyone.. of a younger age.. or someone that likes an easy teenage read to get this.It took about.. 5 hours maybe to finish. I'm not the fastest reader either. A nice book. Give it a chance!
