Snitch

In some schools drugs are sold, gangs are common, and love is very over powering.  At South Bay High School there are 2 main gangs; the Crisps, and the Bloods.  Some girls no what they want and how they plan on getting it.  Julia DiVino knows what she wants and who she wants to be.  She doesn't want anything to do the gangs.  That of course is until she meets the dashing Eric Valentine.
Who doesn't want a handsome trouble maker in their life?  He makes you blush, and gets you doing things you would have never done before?  Best part he only likes you?!? What girl wouldn't fall for him? Eric is trying to join a gang at school, and when he makes it in after taking a bit of a beating, Julia feels that she needs to do the same to have him love her.
Joining a gang is work.  It's hard and complicated.  Once you're in, it's hard to get back out.

Alison van Diepen is a great author.  I love her books, well at least the few that I've read. They all touch upon the rough side of living.  Involving drugs, gangs, young pregnancy, etc.  I feel that is very important for those kind of stories to be written for people with high class lives, or people who want a different life style for a day, to observe.  To learn about rougher areas, and other people's day to day lives.  Van Diepen does an excellent job in portraying these aspects of other people's life, and I really enjoy that about her novels.

Rate: 8/10

Comment: "Life gets hard.  Complicated. Has it's surprises and this novel portrays ton of emotions."

Favourite Quote: " People always make it sound like God is a man.  But we've got no proof of that."

Keeping it short and sweet, just like me.

The Pear Shape

Okay, so people are bigger on the bottom and smaller up top.  This is called the pear shape.  (Example on the side.) Some people find it hard to dress being this shape so I'm giving some Do Not's. No wearing things that draw attention to your hips and thighs.  Things like print skirts or even cargo pants.  However no one should ever wear cargo pants. No light colours on the bottoms.  Or prints. Tops that look really sloppy. DON'T WEAR SPAGHETTI STRAPS No thin materials for tops No think material for your bottoms Ankle length dresses Tight pants or pencil pants Hip length suit Harem Pants No large pockets No puffy skirt Stay away from detail on the butt No skinny jeans Nothing high waisted clothing Try not to buy jackets that end at the waist they bring attention to your waist NO FLASHY BELTS Keeping things short and sweet just like me!
