It only took me four days to read this, which is good for me because I am normally a slow reader. GREAT BOOK! The charcaters are well-written, and the book is so laugh out loud funny that it reminded me of Bridget Jones Diary. Tori, the main character is an event planner who is anal to the nth degree, and likes for everything in her life to be in good order. Her fantasy wedding turns into a nightmare when her fiancee skips out on the wedding, and also skips town with his female "friend" with whom he had been secretly having an affair. Tori has a meltdown, and a close girlfriend encourages her to use a journal to help her deal with the demise of her relationship. While trying to heal emotionally, Tori also has to deal with an overbearing boss, and an idiotic assistant who may be trying to sabatoge her career. Tori inevitably starts dating again, and juggles dates with one loser after another, while also tending to her extra needy friends and family who seem intent on further driving her up the wall. I won't give away the ending, but it was so sweet and touching that it had me in tears. Bravo to the author! I highly recommend.

Dizzy has never known her mum, her whole life she has wished to meet her mum again,as when she was really little her mum left her and her dad.The only way she hears of her mother is on her birthday each year.She gets a small postcard or a present, telling her how her mother is. But, on her twelth birthday, there is nothing from her mother.

AMAZON BOOK REVIEW by Reja Janaki Joy Green If you have read and enjoyed “The lives of Helen Schucman and William Thetford” by Neal Vahle then I recommend that you read Carol Howe’s book: “Never Forget To Laugh: Personal Recollections of Bill Thetford, Co-Scribe of A Course In Miracles“. Although Neal Vahle’s book is a well documented account of the lives of both scribes in which he includes Carol among the many people who had a major impact on Bill, Carol’s book adds the depth that comes from truly knowing someone, having personally participated in his life. Neal recounts how Judy Skutch remarked in 1979, shortly after meeting Carol, “I know why you are here. Bill needs to be socialized. I bequeath you Bill.” And thus began Carol’s friendship with Bill. Even though some of the material in Neal’s book is also in Carol’s book, Never Forget To Laugh: Personal Recollections of Bill Thetford, Co-Scribe of A Course In Miracles is not simply a work of research. Carol brings a very unique perspective: Bill had been a house guest in Carol’s home; he had taken road trips with Carol, along with her husband Bob; and Bill had also participated with Carol at various Course events – as well as just simply meditating together. Carol’s reflections gave me a very personal sense of Bill, as if I had known him all my life. If you are a A Course in Miracles student, then Bill has already touched your life. With this book, Carol has given all of us glimpses of another dimension of Bill. He is our Brother and our Friend and someone who will always be a part of our lives. Treat yourself to this gift from Carol and find your connection with the beautiful and gentle soul of Bill Thetford.

"Where She Went" is the second novel in Gayle Forman's "If I Stay" series. "If I Stay," the previous novel in the series, didn't really impress me that much despite some moments I thought were well done, though I can vouch that many of my peers and several young adults I know loved every moment of it. When I heard that this installment of the series would take the story in a different direction and come from Adam's perspective, I decided to give it a shot. Particularly since I liked Adam's voice and wondered where time would take both Mia and Adam respectively in their relationship. Having finished the story, I'm really glad I read it. Beautifully written, evocative, and with a strong protagonist voice whose road to recognizing what he wants and finding love again was rewarding to follow and heartbreaking at the same time. It surprised me, coming across as a much stronger, more rooted novel than the previous book in the series. In this story, Adam and Mia have gone their separate ways in life - Mia a rising cellist at Julliard, while Adam faces the pressures of what a well-known rock band in the mainstream typically has to contend with. In the light of stardom, Adam's star falls hard. Between tabloid reports, the pressures of fame, and the weight of Mia's abrupt disappearance from his life, Adam doesn't have a lot to be happy for, so he lashes out in ways that don't make matters much better for him. I could understand the flaws in his character through the novel - Forman weaves them very well and doesn't overdo them. This is probably one of the few YA novels I've read, alongside India Lee's Hidden Gem, that have been able to show how crude the relationship between an up and coming young musician and the public can be, as well as the pressure to cope with fame and living a somewhat normal life in the process. When Mia suddenly pops back in his life, Adam realizes that all he really wants are answers in the midst of the complications his life has taken since Mia left him behind, and those answers bring much more than he bargained for. Where I hadn't really felt the conviction behind the losses in the previous novel, this one brought them front and center, and when the momentum started, it didn't slow down. The flashbacks presented had the same sequencing in this one - weaving between the past and the present in certain turns of the story. I think with Adam's account, though, it worked better. Forman presents them in a logical fashion that proves more pertinent to the story told, and, if anything, actually builds upon Mia's experiences and character from the previous novel even while Adam takes the reins of telling this story. That's something I didn't think would come across as strongly and why I think this novel improved upon the former in a great way. The musical inclusions resonated with me as well. I liked the snippets of the songs peppered through the story, particularly since they coincided very well with certain dramatic turns. "Where She Went" was a wonderful read on the whole - certainly a story I would return to and consider one of my favorites. Overall score: 4.5/5
It's been at least 25 years since I read this but I still love it. One of my favorite kids books. I think it's stood the test of time quite well.

Full of strong, interesting characters and about a time and place I know little about so I enjoyed it. Courtenay paints wonderful word pictures of South Africa in the time of apartheid.
