Along for the Ride *SPOILER ALERT*

Along for the Ride. I just started this book and so far the main character Auden isn’t having such a great life. Her parents are divorced. She’s fine with that. It’s just the fact that her parents don’t really pay much attention to her and she does what she pleases. She was brought up the right way and was the mature one out of her and her brother Hollis. She’s the one with good grades and the one that works her butt off as hard as she can.

Her parents are proud of her for that but whenever her brother finds a new career path her mother is all for it and doesn’t pay attention to her. one part in the book they were talking on the phone and Auden asked about Hollis and her mother almost immediately moved on to how its great that he has a new career, then Auden tries to change the conversation but her mother still sticks to the topic of Hollis.

This book takes place in the summer so Auden decides to stay with her dad, his wife and their daughter for the summer. She’s been there for about a couple days and already there are problems and she hears the truth about why her dad thinks she’s here. her dad thought she was coming down to help with the baby not so he could spend time with her, as him and his wife are talking about that Auden hears and that makes me feel so bad because what father doesn’t want their own daughter????

I choose this blog as my mentor blog because almost every single post is detailed and has personal connection. I really admire that every post seems never ending because all the paragraphs are long and packed with the best context. When this person writes you can tell that they take the time to do their blog posts. I think the reason why is so that the people reading the posts feel like they just have to read the book this person is writing about. That’s why I choose this blog as my mentor blog.

The Awakening

I have just finished reading the first book of Vampire Diaries, called The Awakening. There is this character named Elena who is basically the queen of the school. There is also this new boy named Stefan who is very attractive and he has caused Elena to embarrass herself by trying to get his attention.

I found that part in the book very funny because it’s crazy what people will do just to impress someone. Not only is it crazy but its dumb. Why can’t you just stick with what you have already instead of trying to get more and hurting the people around you?

After she gets this boy she hasn’t told her friends any of the details. Obviously that would make them feel bad. Prior to Stefan she went out with Matt. When she broke up with him he was hurt because after that she just did stupid things to get Stefan’s attention. For a while Elena’s character just annoyed me. But know I feel bad for her.

Come Together

In the book Fallout there are these kids that don't really know each other but a linked because of their mother. At the time in the beginning of the book I thought they had no clue about each other at all. Turns out they did know each other.

Hunter, Autumn, and Summer. Hunter and Summer knew each other and have even meet a few times, they heard about Autumn but didn't really believe she existed. Autumn didn't even know about her other siblings because her aunt and grandpa kept her away from her parents.

When Autumn found out that she was kept away from them, everything clicked into place. The reason why she had been all over the place with different schools and friends. All to keep her away from her drug addict mother and invisible father. Later on in the book everyone meets everyone and its all very awkward because their mother is confronted and eventually no one knows what to say.

FALLOUT

Autumn, Summer, and Hunter have absolutely no idea of each other yet they are linked to each other in some way. Weird enough they are joined together by their mother. You would think that a mother would be in their child's life even if it’s not for their whole life. At least a period of time. Their mother choose the monster over her own children.

The monster being crystal meth, of course. They gave it that nickname because it takes over your whole life and even if you try it just once it may ruin your life forever. These kids are all grown up now and so far in the book they have gone through like half of their life and they have their separate families. Sometimes they get calls from their mom but their mom is usually drunk or high all the time. Their mother is also always in a problem, she’s either getting beat up by past boyfriends or she owes people money.

They all have little problems in their life but something tells me that they will all meet up because of something that their mom did. Hunter knows his mom has other kids but those kids are 2 little boys not 2 teenage girls by the name of Autumn and Summer. I hope that the reason why they meet each other is because their mom died. Even though they didn’t know her that well it would still be kind of sad because even though she wasn’t in their life they still had something to do with each other.
