Tangled *SPOILER ALERT*
i am currently reading Tangled by Carolyn Mackler, it is really good book. it is about four people Jena, Skye, Dakota, and Owen; they all go to a place called Paradise for spring vacation (Skye and Jena go together because their moms are best friends, but they don't really talk). they all end up meeting and their lives end up becoming "tangled" together and their lives will change forever. the book is split into 4 parts (each part from a different persons view), and i have read Jena's part so far.
Jena is 16 and lives in Topeka, New York with her mom Janet. she is a typical 16 year old girl: she is madly in love with a boy named Samir who barely even knows tat she exists, she has 2 best friends Ellie and Leora, she is addicted to being online and blogging . except shes different because she loves collecting quotes and random things that just speak to her and rights them in her "everything book" she loves romances, but thinks it will never really happen to her. her family is middle class but Luce (her moms bff and Skye's mom) is rich, so she decides to treat them to a trip to Paradise. her and Skye are forced to be together because of there mom , but they never really talk. Jena feels that Skye is to cool for her and starts blabbing random stuff when she is with her.
Skye is 16 and lives with her rich mom Luce. she is and up- and-coming actress and model, she goes the the most expensive private school and drives the coolest car. she basically has the life every girl wishes they had- or at least Jena wishes she had. she has a super hot boyfriend for 2 years but they suddenly break-up and she really changes. she doesn't hang out anymore and she is home schooled now, and i feel like she doesn't want to act.
Owen and Dakota are brother; Owen is 16 and Dakota is 18. Dakota is super hot and Owen is a geek. i feel like Owen is living under the shadow of his brother. i haven't really learned about them yet, but i feel like they are hiding things- especially Dakota and that their life is complicated. like people say don't judge a book by its cover.

This book sounds really interesting! I think you can do a cross book inquiry with the book "The Total Tragedy of a girl named Hamlet," you probably never heard of this book before since its not really famous yet but I think you definitely should because the issue the main character has, has the same situation Owen is having. I think you should really dig deeper into the characters next time because they seem really interesting! Good job!
