Ask Me Why I Hurt

Ask Me Why I HurtAsk Me Why I Hurt by Randy Christensen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Dr. Christensen treats homeless teens by driving around in a moblie medical unit (a winnebago). While not the most well written - you will be haunted by the teens that Dr. Christensen treats. Thank goodness there is someone like Dr. Christensen (and his staff) in this world!

Matched

Matched (Matched, #1)Matched by Ally Condie

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the correct choices for her and her family, for the good of everyone. The Society chooses her best friend Xander as her life-long match and Cassia is thrilled. When she gets home and reads the data pod provided to her at the Match Banquet there is another person listed as her match - Ky. Is this a mistake? Is the Society capable of making mistakes? Is the Society acting in the best interest of its citizens?



I am hooked and can't wait for the sequel - "Crossed" to come out.
