I COULDN'T BREATHE.
"Wedged in the middle of an ocean of people, I gasped for air, but nothing came. The heat from a million writhing bodies radiated over me, their sweat weighing down the air. I searched anxiously for an escape, but painfully bright lights strobed on and off, clouding my sense of direction."

O wow. That's reallly good. I can't wait to here what you think of this. I'm itching to try it.
I read (My Review) Elixir, pleasantly satisfied with the book. Although there is a ghost writer Elise Allen who isn't mentioned as much as Hilary herself... I'd like to read Elise's upcoming book as well(Populazzi)!
I'm currently reading The Duff. I'm 19 and I still see it as a bad influence for teens, I'm on page 107, not looking good in my opinion.
Forgot to present theopening of the book.
The Duff by Kody Keplinger.
Opening:
"This was getting old.
Once again, Casey and Jessica were making a complete fools of themselves, shaking their asses like dancers in a rap video. But I guess guys eat that s*** up, don't they? I could honestly feel my IQ dropping a I wonder, for the hundredth time that night, why I'd let them drag me here again."
I'm reading this book right now...it's taking me a bit to get into it. Curious to see how it'll turn out.
