Niedaleko Pada Jabłko. Intrygi Zakochanej Nastolatki

by Rebecca Eckler

Apple jest przeciwieństwem swojej bardzo bezpośredniej mamy oraz rozplotkowanych i impulsywnych przyjaciółek. Jest szczera i otwarcie mówi o swoich uczuciach. Ale sprawy wymykają się jej spod kontroli. Nim zdoła czemukolwiek zaradzić, jej najlepsza przyjaciółka zamienia się w największego wroga, cała szkoła dowiaduje się o jej skrywanym zauroczeniu, a ona sama zostaje poniżona w ogólnokrajowym programie telewizyjnym... Być może udawanie słynnej mamy, pracującej w telewizji, nie było mimo wszystko zbyt rozsądne? Apple musi się nauczyć, że słuchanie rad jest tak samo ważne, jak ich dawanie.

I enjoyed reading this one. But why all the names are super weird?

I saw this book in library and said "oh I'm taking this one!" and never regret it. I'm in truly love with the characters, my fav is Brooklyn! I love the way that author showed us the teenager life and their problems (yeah I'm a teenager too haha). This is just a book for bored teenagers to read when they don't have nothing to do

Apple is a teenaged girl, living a crazy life, she goes to high school and was enjoying time with a close group of friends. She has the nickname the Sponge, because while she takes everything in, emotionally she gives nothing back. This becomes her major problem, when her close friend Happy starts dating Zen – Apple’s biggest crush ever. Since she has such troubles with expressing her feelings, she feels that she is left no other option but to sabotage the budding relationship between Happy and Zen.

Why I picked up this book; I picked up this book because I was at the biggest book store with my grandpa and he choose this one out for me so i gave it a chance and I actually really enjoyed it.

Why I finished.. I fniished this book because Happy & Apple are best friends and I didnt want to see them fall apart when on the other hand I wanted Apple to be with Zen so I wanted to see what happend.

Who I recommend this book to.
I remcommend this story to Becky my older cousin . I recommend this story to her because I'm not to sure but when I picked this book up and started to read it I just thought she would like this book.

I still don't know how I feel about this book. I think I only finished it for Crazy Aunt Hazel. I didn't like the main character (at all), and instead I found myself liking Happy more and more throughout the book. Not the best book, but not the worst book.

Would have given this one a 4, but never 100% got over my hate for all the weird names.

Very cute little story about a huge crush and an embarassing time trying to land the guy
it's funny how the mother helps people mend relationships when hers is a disaster
a good read all in all
