Name: Truth About Forever

Genre: Teen Fiction/Kinda Romance

Story Outline:
Its about a girl and how she discovers her self while coping with her dad's death and her mom's craziness. She has a daily routine and her life is pretty much dull, until she meets a handsome guy named Wes. Wes teaches her how to live again, and what "forever" actually means.

Why do you recommend it:
Because, lots of girls would be able to relate to it. It may look to be like your typical good looking guy meets ugly duckling story, but there's more to it. Discovering one's self- strength.

You have to love the way teh wirter writes in the book. Her style is just hilraious.

Name:   The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, by Sue Townsend. 

Genre:  Childrens Fiction, but can also be for all ages

Story Outline: the story is about a young boy growing up in suburban England and witnessing his parents' marriage falling apart while slowly growing into an adoloescent.   He falls for a girl named Pandora and a lot of his feelings for her add depth to this story.   British version of Seth Cohen of the OC.
 
Why do you recommend it:  I recommend it because the writing is quite humorous and the author pins down how precisely the boy Adrian feels, using typical British diction and you get a sense of what it's like ot be him, you will laugh all the way through.   It is part of a series of books by her which follow the life of Adrian.

Name: The Quinn Brothers series written by Nora Roberts. Its a series of 4 books.
Genre:  Romantic Fiction
Story Outline: The series is about four brothers who are not related by blood but were adopted by a couple. Each book represents a story of one of the brothers. They all came from criminal backgrounds.
Why do you recommend it: Its really touching the way how they are in sync with each other although they came from different parents and different backgrounds.I love all  Nora Roberts books because they contain humour and suspence along with other stuff.
