Ally’s comments from the Penguin's Point of View Books group.

I'm not too keen on the idea of the movie all together, but i'm definetly not okay with the casting they chose. I will watch it, but i dont have high hopes for it.

Also Luna By Julie Anne Peters, who wrote a really difficult topic but did it so well. Check it out.

For me out of all the POV books it was Hold Still by Nina Lacour. I could relate to the book in so many ways and because of this it changed my personal outlook on life. All Ingrid needed was for her bestfriend Caytiln to fully open her eyes and see what was wrong with her. All the stuff she showed her were little hints that she wanted help, so now i'm more cautious when i see people eating alone at the cafeteria or walking home alone. We all get lonely at times, but you could shape yours and someone elses life by extending a hand. When people say there fine it's not exactly the truth but like most of us we don't pry so we leave it be, but Hold Still taught me to ask the question why and uncover the truth.

Alright so how about you?

Definetly Hold Still it truly is unique.

Definetly Speak and Hold Still. iF students read them i think not only will it open their eyes but the teachers as well.

Jay Asher created a very realistic place and a tear jerker story. At the end of the book Hannah wasn't just some character she was a friend and i felt like i knew her long before her story. It was really well written and non forgetable for me.

Sketches by Eric Walters, You know where to find me by Rachel Cohn, Before i Fall by Lauren Oliver, and It's Kinda A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. They all deserve to be here.

Most defiently my favourite is Hold Still By NinaLaCour.
