Have you read anything good recently? If you haven't read Katherine Applegate's books. She has a whole set of books, like the one I read Claire gets Caught. The genre of this book os romance. She has about 20 books of this series in stores. It is about a girl named Claire that dumped her boyfriend Jake at a dance. Now she wants him back, so she sets up a plan to get Jake back, by planning a ski trip. Nina her sister thinks she set it up to get Ben back, but she was wrong. I think this is an excellent book, so read this book WHY? If you are looking for a book right now, this is the book for you! You won't want to stop, it has on and on exciting chapters. I read it all in one day, that's how much I liked it! This is a Qoute from my book: "Are you sure this you want to plan this whole ski trip?" I recommend this to anyone that doesn't get excitement in your books or any one that just needs a book to read!

It's snowing in Vermont, and the 8 islanders go on a ski trip to Killington. Claire plans to use the weekend to recouple with Jake, whom she broke up with. Aisha can't stand how Christopher chats up other girls. Nina goes insane because after she and Benjamin share a date(and a kiss) she thinks that Benjamin has lost intrest AND that her sister Claire is going to try to get him back. Zoey fights with Lucas because he tries to pressure her into sex. A fabulous book, one of Katherine Applegate's best. She knows how to add twists and turns and captivate the reader till the last page.

The book was very good. This is the only book of the series that I own (so far), but I have read it more than once. The author really knows how to keep a reader interested! I admire her for her work. She does truley know what it's like as a teen-ager.
