Faking 19

I thought best friends were supposed to be your security blanket. The things that protected you against the rest of the world. The one thing that you trust.

In this book the two apparently best friends Alex and M are not really what i think best friends are. Yes they say they are best friends but is that enough. I think the author is trying to give their readers a reality check. This is life. Their is none of this magic that connects two best friends. Or is there.....

I think that the author of this book has a different opinion of what friendship is then me. She says that these two girls are best friends yet Alex is really nice and i feel like M can be nice when she wants to be but for the most part she is well a "snobby typical california stereo type" (nothing agents california!)

Friends are supposed to be nice to each other and care about one another (i know that sounds cheesy but its true) and it seems like all M does is cares about her self and all of her problems. Yes she was born and raised in a rich house where she never had to do anything and her life was all handy dandy. Alex just came to accept that, but i really don't think that is how a friendship works. Who wants to be with someone who doesn't care about you? I don't think anyone would just come and accept that.

I don't like to complain about books because all in all the book is good BUT (and i know there is always a but) The author does get off track in her book. One moment she will be in one spot and the next they will be somewhere else. I just think that she has great plot but then starts to add in and it confuses you then when she goes back to what they were talking about before. But after a few books i think she will be really good write.
