Book of the week #1


My pick of the week:

This book just stuck with me.  It's an awesome YA book about life, romance and growing up.  I loved it's funny yet gritty substance.


Book: Carpe Diem

Author: Autumn Cornwell


Description:


“I’ve got my entire life planned out for the next ten years — including my PhD and Pulitzer Prize,” claims 16-year-old overachiever Vassar Spore, daughter of overachiever parents, who in true overachiever fashion named her after an elite women’s college. Vassar expects her sophomore summer to include AP and AAP (Advanced Advanced Placement) classes. Surprise! Enter a world-traveling relative who sends her plans into a tailspin when she blackmails Vassar’s parents into forcing their only child to backpack with her through Southeast Asia.


On a journey from Malaysia to Cambodia to the remote jungles of Laos, Vassar sweats, falls in love, hones her outdoor survival skills — and uncovers a family secret that turns her whole world upside-down.     



Vassar Spore can plan on one thing: she’ll never be the same again.
