See You On a Starry Night

See You On a Starry Night

By Lisa Schroeder

"See You On a Starry Night" by the beloved Lisa Schroeder is about a girl whose parents have recently divorced, Juliet. In turn, Juliet moves to a beachside house with her mom and her older sister. When she isn't visiting the beach Book Trailer, making friends, or composing lists, she tries to figure out who's behind the message-in-a-bottle she finds in the ocean. This novel moves a bit slowly and is often submerged in Juliet's thoughts rather than actions, but otherwise, it's a sweet and suitable book for anyone who's experienced family conflict.

The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby

By F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby is personally too deep for me to understand and dissolve all of it. This story was based on the Jazz Age, when the rich and fabulous were having marvelous parties after World War I. I like Jordan Baker the most in this story, because even though she is cynical, I think she was wise and knew a lot of things. Daisy was the person I don’t admire the most. Although she was beautiful and men were infatuated by her, but I feel like she was just a pretty shell without a deep soul. Her desires weren’t realistic and she was greedy. However, she reminded me and taught me to not become someone that resembles her. I saw there are a lot of things that weren’t reveal. I learnt that the world is make up of greed, lies, and insidiously and undoubtedly, reality. It’s hard to face the truth that people are actually selfish creatures that often think about themselves. People are fickle, like plants, we often choose the way that benefit us the most. It might sound disappointed and dark, but sadly and truly, it’s the truth.

Stella by Starlight

Stella by Starlight

By Sharon M. Draper

Stella by Starlight by Sharon M. Draper is about a girl named Stella and her journey as a young black girl in town inhabited by the KKK. She has to always be wary, on edge, and faces many hardships and unjust events. Throughout she remains strong and helps support her family through the tough times. I really liked reading this book even though it made me sad to think that this rascism still happens today. It made me wish that everyone could just accept each other and hold each other up like they do in this book. I would reccomend it to lovers of great historical fiction.
