Go Ask Alice by Anonymous
Amazon
I read this book ages ago, in high school and have since re-read it in English as well as in Danish. It made a huge impact on the back then and I think everyone should read it, it's excellent.
Synopsis:
Fifteen, white, middle-class, Alice seems to be fine. She is doing well at school. She thinks someday she'd like to get married and raise a family. On July 9th, Alice is turned on to acid. She figures life is more bearable with drugs than without. Alice's life is never the same again.
Her parents notice changes, but they don't know what's happening.
They can't help her. The difference between Alice and a lot of other kids on drugs is that Alice kept a diary...
I really couldn't help it!!!!
The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith
Amazon 1 and 2
I also read these books (the first two) ages ago, in high school, when I was around 13/14. I've just re-read them and while they're extremely easy reads, I find them excellent at the same time. I'm afraid I've become slightly crazily obsessed with them!!!!
Synopsis
Elena is the queen of High School. After the death of her parents and summer abroad, she returns to her senior year - and there’s a distractingly good looking new student, Stefan. Elena wants him, and everybody wants Elena - except Stefan.
Well, turns out Stefan is a vampire, has a very problematic brother - Damon - who he hates (and vice versa) and something dark’s threatening the town of Fell’s Church. Only Elena, caught between the two brothers, and her friends can put a stop to it.
(adding the following because I find it hilarious - and it's also very true):
Stephenie Meyer seems to have heavily borrowed from L. J. Smith. The first half of the first book is “why doesn’t he look at me - why does she smell so good - I need to have him - I need to eat her” etc. etc. Except that this time it was European History instead of Biology Class. Then the books go in different directions with the most notable distinction of the Vampire Diaries having an actual plot.
Muahahahahaa!!
They're definitely worth a read, especially if you're planning on watching the CW show that starts in just over a week!
And if you're in a Jasper/Bella fanfic kind of mood, there's always And So It Goes by the fantastic laceandgrace!
Just thought I'd put it out there....
