Antidepressants

What makes Young Adult books attractive is the fact that “Happy ending” is guaranteed, so you can enjoy a stress-free usually funny story and be entertained. This weekend I went through seven books by Katie Maxwell (Katie Macalister) and had a lovely time. There was Emily series, featuring the year she leaves Seattle for England up to when she comes back to US and graduates from high school. In the “The year my life went down the loo”, she gets to England, starts school there, finds out her underwear drawer is hunted, and meets some English hotties. “They wear what under their kilt?” happens when Emily and her friend go to Scotland for a month to work in a sheep farm. Yup, they start a competition to bag a Scottish kilt-wearing boyfriend! “What’s French for ‘Ew!’?” is Emily’s adventures in France. In “The taming of Dru” she is packing her bags to go back to Seattle and “Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Hotties” is when Emily is graduating from high school.
“Got Fang?” is the first book of Goth series and the story of Fran. She has strange powers, a witch for a mother, freaks for family and friends, and (just maybe) a vampire for a boyfriend. How well she deals with all? Read the book and see!
In the “Eyeliner of the gods” Jan -an untalented girl from a very talented family- goes to Egypt on an archeology dig but she digs up trouble, a cursed bracelet, a frustrating chaperon, and a cute boyfriend! Have fun digging!
After all the happy time I had with these books, I started “Room service” by Amy Garvey. Olivia is daydreaming while the hotel she has inherited from her father is falling apart around her. She walks back to have a better perspective on her dreams and falls in the arms of Rhys (a handsome chef and the finalist of a reality TV cooking show). Olivia’s uncle is threatening to take the hotel from her, her chefs are quitting, and the chandelier in dinning hall is falling down! How is she going to deal with all these and still have time to daydream about a knight in shining armor? With a little help from Rhys she can manage, I assure you!
