Never Ever Getting Back Together, by Sophie Gonzales

                                                                . Never Ever Getting Back Together  by Sophie Gonzales is a near perfect novel. It’s off to an amazing start right from the title, extrapolated from a song by Taylor Swift, the mother of modern romance. The story is told from alternating points of view, featuring two women competing against each other on a reality dating show, where the prize is their mutual ex. The only problem: while one of them is still head-over-heels in love, the other is plotting to take down the man that cheated on her and broke her heart. As the competition progresses, truths are revealed and unexpected relationships are established right up until the ending. While a little predictable,  Never Ever Getting Back Together  is a feel-good celebration of queer love, reality TV, and revenge.

A Game of Thrones, by George R.R. Martin

A Game of Thrones is the first book in the series. I love this novel because it always had me wanting to read more and not wanting to put the book down. The author describes the scenario so clearly that it almost feels as if you were there. The characters' feelings and thoughts are described so thoroughly it makes them seem lifelike.  A Game of Thrones is a science fiction book which also includes the political system of lords and lordships.  I highly recommend this book to those of you who have liked the books in the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series by Rick Riordan, and the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, and the book Eragon by Christopher Paolini . -Reviewed by Olivia

Prisoner B-3087, by Alan Gratz

                Prisoner B-3087 is a heartbreaking novel about a Jewish boy’s struggle to survive in concentration camps. Yanek Gruener was only 10 years old when Hitler started his war against Jews. Yanek had to learn how to share his apartment flat with several other families and how to work for hours just to get barely enough food. At only 13 years old, Yanek was sent to his first concentration camp.  Follow Yanek through 10 painful, murderous, and deadly concentration camps where every minute is a struggle to survive, and every day is a miracle to live through. It is a truly fascinating tale based on a real Jewish man who lived through the dreadful experience of brutal concentration camps that seemed impossible to live through. -Reviewed by Vivienne
