1. Dare Me: This book is one that I never really hear about on book blogs unless I'm looking for it although pretty much everyone who has read it has loved like I have. This book dealing with dark side of high school cheerleading is one that has a very different look at high school than I usually read about it as well as having intriguing characters with complex relationships with each other and the writing in this book is just incredible the descriptions just shows so much character and sets the mood of the book.
2. Traffick: This book is the squeal to Ellen Hopkins book Tricks and I think that this book is even better than the first one. I really loved that this book was about recovery rather than destruction which is what the last one was about and I liked that the characters had live with the consequences of their actions from the last book and I liked that the characters were shown to still be struggle in this book as well.
3. Triangles: This is another book by Ellen Hopkins but this one is an adult novel that dealt with lives of three women who all had very different things to deal with in life. I didn't like this book as much as the other ones on this list but it was still a good book and deserves more recognition than it gets.
4. Also Known As: This book was just a really fun and sweet story of a safe cracker having her first solo spy mission and going to high school for the first time. This book had fun characters, plot and writing style that made this a joy to read and I wished more people would talk about this book because a great fluffy romance YA book.
5. Lola and the Boy Next Door: While this book is pretty popular I'm putting it on the list because I feeling it also overshadowed by Anna and the French Kiss and I think that people in general only pay attention to this book because it's the second one in the Anna and the French Kiss series. I think that this book is actually much better than Anna and the French Kiss, I think that the characters are both more likable and interesting and that the plot just feels a lot more down to earth and I think that the book deserves to be recognized for how good it's story is rather than how popular the book that came before it is.

Book Review: Also Known As
Also Known As Review
Also Known As is about Maggie Silver a teenager who as worked alongside her parents cracking safes for a spy organization since she was a little girl but hasn't had her own mission yet. Maggie gets her own mission when she is assigned to get close to Jesse Oliver a son of a journalist who is working on an article that would expose her, her parents and the entire organization that they work for. At first Maggie thinks of this mission just as a chance to prove herself to both her parents and the rest of the organization but as time goes on and she starts to build a life around her cover that involves her behaving like a normal teenager, making a friend and being able to go on her first date things become more complicated for her.
Maggie of course ends up falling for Jesse who is not the type of guy she expected him to be she expected someone who was spoiled and a jerk but in reality Jesse is nice, rather down to earth and a bit lonely, this leads Maggie to developing feelings for him which complicates her mission and really her whole life. As time goes on Maggie figures out that things aren't as straight forward as they seem when they come to the mission but not just when they involve Maggie's personal feelings but also concerning the facts of the mission. As the story goes on there turns out to be a few twists to this story that Maggie didn't see coming.
Overall I thought that this book was very fun and I really enjoyed the characters and the relationships in this book. I really enjoyed the writing style in this book is was quick and fun which made the book fun to read. Please tell me your thoughts on this book.
