Goodreads synopsis:Tally Youngblood is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait for the operation that turns everyone from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to party. But new friend Shay would rather hoverboard to "the Smoke" and be free. Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world and it isn't very pretty. The "Special Circumstances" authority Dr Cable offers Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever

Uglies started of pretty slowly. It continued to be boring for the next half of the book. I didn't read it as quickly as I read books that I'm hooked on. Nothing in the first half of the book really interested me or captivated my attention. Then it finally started getting exciting. Mayhem started to rise and things got interesting. I thought the story line and main idea of Uglies was brilliant; I just think that if another author played around with it and wrote it differently then it would have been better. I thought Scott Westerfeld did a very good job with the character personalities and the setting. Again, the main idea of the book was great! By the end of the book i was getting very excited and the end was a cliffhanger!!! Now I really want to read Pretties just to know what happened! Even though the book wasn't all that great I'm still going to purchase Pretties. Great job Scott Westerfeld, you're getting me to buy it! 

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

This historical fiction novel was a very powerful read. The book was beautifully written so that you could understand and see what the characters were going through. The setting was constantly changing from miserable place to miserable place. The words that were used to describe each setting were very powerful. The main character was such a strong person. She's a 17 year old from Lithuania but her family has been transported to Siberia via prison train. They're treated like scum. Throughout the entire book she stays strong, even through the many dark times in the story. The way Ruta Sepetys explains their situation you have no choice but to feel their emotions and you feel like your apart of the story.

I loved this book and I would recommend it to any historical fiction lover. Someone that doesn't even read historical fiction a lot would still enjoy the book.

Girl, Stolen by April Henry

I took a break from my normal distopian book and decided to purchase Girl, Stolen. I was glad I did. It's not my absolute favorite book of all time, but it was very good. The genre of the book was a little fuzzy because it could fit many categories.
I thought the characters were all relateable yet completely new in their own way. Besides being blind, main character Cheyenne is a relatively normal and common teen. When I started reading I thought that her being blind was going to be corny and unrealistic. I was very wrong because it completed the storyline! Cheyenne was accidentally kidnapped by a teenage boy that was trying to steal her step-mother's car. That is obviously where the title comes from. Griffin, the accidental abductor, was a very realistic character as well. When they spoke I could hear their voices clear in my head as if they were real. Griffin's father was definitely the easiest to visualize! He is a grubby, dirty man that steals cars and sells them for a living. I was constantly seeing stained tank tops on him with chest hair peaking out of the top. I thought that April Henry's character names were also well thought out and realistic.
The setting of Girl, Stolen was also easy to picture. It's mostly at Griffin's home (partly a junkyard). I thought the scene of the book was well thought out.

If your looking for a mystery/thriller or anything that will keep you begging for more I would check out Girl, Stolen by April Henry.

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

Delirium by Lauren Oliver was a very good read! I loved the Hunger Games and I was looking for something like it; Delirium was just as great! I was reading it constantly, even while waiting for food to come in a restaurant!
Blurb: Lena, the protagonist, was living in a world where love is a disease. People under the age of 18 weren't aloud to have contact with boys outside of their family. At the age of 18 everyone is given the cure for love. It seems like it also cures you for having your own mind and feelings. Before Lena is given her cure she meets Alex, an uncured boy. For her first time Lena experiences real love. And she doesn't want it to end.
It seemed like Lauren Oliver was occasionally throwing in random, exciting, but pointless moments in the book that had no meaning. It could have been to get through the book, or maybe she just wanted to add a little more excitement. Either way it came across as a bit cheesy.
The main character could be a little boring at times, but overall I came to enjoy her. I couldn't really relate to her. Her best friend, more of a background character but still important to the story, was easier for me to relate to. The setting was connecting with me a lot! I live very close to where the book took place (but not time wise!). It takes places in future Portland, Maine. You weren't ever allowed to forget it's not modern time.

I would recommend Delirium to any fan of the Hunger Games! It was a great book and so was it's sequel Pandemonium. If you love distopians you should definitely get your hands on Delirium!

The Selection by Kiera Cass

The Selection was a great book! At first when I looked at the cover I thought it was going to be a girly book about beauty pageants. I was wrong. The story kept making me beg for more but it would already be 12 am. It was a distopian novel about a lower-class girl named America. The book is set in future United States in what is called Illéa. The prince is looking for a bride and soon a competition is erected. 35 girls are competing for one spot- the crown of the princess. America does not want to participate because she already has a love back at home. Her mother and lover want her to join for her own good and she finally agrees. Her name is then put into the drawing. When she is picked she doesn't think she will fall in love, but her mind soon changes once she meets the prince.
The Selection was definitely worth the time of reading. I would recommend it to any Science Fiction-Distopian fan. Or really anybody at all.
