Don't Worry, It Gets Worse: One Twentysomething's (Mostly Failed) Attempts at Adulthood

This book started out as hilarious and ended up as touching. As a newly graduated college student, I found this book by Alida Nugent as a great find. I originally picked it out because I had just started my first job out of college and was feeling like I wasn't the right fit. Alida made me laugh with her as she was wallowing on her parents couch and not knowing where she was going to end up. I loved that she still kept acting like a college student who was coming home for vacation every time she visited her parents throughout the couple of years in the book. It was comforting knowing that some things change really slowly. That made me feel much better and as I kept reading, I was adapting to my new job.  I may be done reading it now, but as the last few chapters of the book aimed more towards being encouraging for the future rather than comedy, I remain hopeful. I'd recommend this book to any new graduate feeling a little unsure about their world at the present and who appreciates a good night of binge drinking.

Sorta Like A Rock Star

Okay so this book is special because it's not a series, but I haven't had a chance to read any fun normal books yet while I've been in college and so this is the only one that I've read in a while.

I actually cried when I read this book. It was unreal, I never cry during books. The book can be really sad and I'll just keep trudging through it.

That does not mean that this is a sad book at all though, on the contrary, this book is soo happy and uplifting that it made me feel special just reading it because it's about a girl in high school who is living in a school bus because her mom and her cannot afford a house or apartment unless her mom is dating a new boyfriend who will let them stay there. Amber Appleton is the sweetest girl and she goes out of her way to make others feel at home. She started a club for the "misfits" in her school called the Franks Freak Force Federation and she has a puppy that she rescued from the streets called Billy Big Boy or B-Thrice.

Amber is a girl who goes through a lot of horrible things and through her faith manages to stay happy still and while the climax of this book is an uber downer, you will not be disappointed with this book if you like happy care-free teenagers dealing with life problems in high school type books lol :P... or if you're just looking for something new in-between your vampire reads haha
