This summer I went to Orlando, Florida with my family.

Even though Belly still really likes Conrad her feelings for Jeramiah are starting to grow. The more she is in the house with both of them the more confusing her feelings get. Belly thinks in her head, "But it was like Conrad didn't even see me standing there, or feel my hand on his chest" (Han 150). I wonder who Belly will end up liking more later on in the book because right now she seems in between both boys.

Belly goes to the beach house for another summer with family, and she has a huge crush on a boy named Conrad. Its Conrad's summer house that they all stay in, and Conrad has a brother named Jeramiah. Even though Belly has a crush on Conrad, he hasn't always expressed those same feelings back. Steven asked Belly, "Are you thinking about Conrad" (Han 3). I think that Conrad will begin to catch feelings for Belly too.

In the book The Housemaid by Freida McFadden Millie begins to become closer to Andrew, Nina's husband. This makes me wonder what is going to happen next because currently Nina seems a little bit crazy. Andrew states, "'I have feelings for Millie,' he says in a voice so quiet I must've imagined it" (McFadden 170). Next in the book I think that Millie and Andrew are going to have an affair with each other.

A girl named Millie is trying to get a job and live a better life after recently getting out of jail. She ends up getting a live in job with a family called the Winchesters. At first Nina the mom seems really welcoming, but as soon as Millie moved in she realizes she might have made a mistake. Millie states, " I'd say there's at least a 25% chance she's going to murder me in my sleep if I get this job" (McFadden 11).

I am still really enjoying this book. Harriet and Wyn still haven't told anyone about them secretly breaking off the engagement. That is really keeping me interested, and it makes me wonder if they will end up telling their friends. Cleo asks, "Have you two figured out your perfect wedding yet?" (Henry 254). Harriet keeps thinking about why Wyn might have actually ended things, but she doesn't know.

This book is good so far. Harriet is going to see her best friends at their cabin. She just broke off an engagement with her fiancé, and she wanted to get her mind off of things. Harriet has not told her friends about this big information because her friends always thought they were perfect for each other. Harriet says, "Think of your happy place, the cool voice in my ear instructs" (Henry 5).

In the book right now the Taliban is becoming very harsh and cruel. Malala states, "The bodies would be dumped in the square at night so that everyone would see them the next morning on their way to work" (Yousafazi 147). In this we see them being inconsiderate of the people that they killed. They want them to be shown off, but not moved so people will know what will happen to them if they act out of character.

This book is very good! It starts out with Malala a young girl who loves school barely has any rights. She is starting to see how badly women are treated compared to men, and she isn't okay with it. "I was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children" (13).
