Here's what TEEN READERS are saying about STAR IN THE MIDDLE!
"I thought it was an amazing book that really showed me a side of teen pregnancy I never considered before. The characters were complex and really added so many dimensions to the story that it was hard to put down! I will definitely be purchasing your other books."
--Amber
"First of all, I would like to say THANK YOU FOR WRITING STAR IN THE MIDDLE! (It) is totally amazing. The first time I read it I was not able to put it down. I stayed up all night reading it because I wanted to know how it would end. After I was done I recommended it for all my teenage girlfriends.
In my opinion, I think you should really make a movie of this book. This book does not just educate teenage girls like me, but also teaches us about life. Hopefully there will be a movie of this book!"
--Vanessa
"Star in the middle was an awesome book that I could not put down--no lie I was up till 2:30 in the morning reading it. I loved how you alternated it between Star and Wilson talking. To me it was sort of like a lifetime movie (which I love) and I do hope there is a sequel to Star in the Middle because there is no doubt in my mind that I would read it."
--Sarah H.
"I just finished your book and I absolutely loved it! It is really great. You really capture the truth of being a young adult-from actions, to language, to life in general. Star is an amazing character-the time you spend creating and shaping her really allows the reader to feel a strong bond, it is as if I personally know her, too."
--Lauren
"I really like how strong Star is through this hard time. I'm hoping to read your other books. Thanks for coming and sharing your experience."
--Lana
"I really enjoyed reading Wilson's perspective on the situation. Even though he annoyed me from the first chapter, I finally understand that not all teenage fathers abandon their kids. I loved Star's character because she is so strong. In fact, Star actually motivated me to become a stronger person in tough situations. I also like how you mentioned abortion in your novel… and I love how Wilson finally realizes that abortion doesn't even give the baby a chance to live.
…Your book kept me up reading for hours to the point where my mother is shocked at the fact I'm reading a good book."
--Sarah D.
"I really enjoyed it! I liked how you wrote it from alternating views and put many different kinds of people in the book. It kept me intrigued. I think it was definitely a page-turner. I can't wait to read your other books!"
--Catherine
"I really liked the character Todd and how he was a single father. I also really liked how you put in Wilson's point of view. I wouldn't have liked him as much if you hadn't."
--Josie
"I really enjoyed the book. It was a very easy read. I just wanted to keep turning the page. I liked how you had Wil's parents in the book. I like how baby Wil's grandma just knew it was her grandson at the center."
--Michaela
"I thought it was a great story. I couldn't put it down! I love how you got into each character's head; it made the story so much more interesting. Also, keep using descriptions!! That makes the book awesome. Can't wait to read more of your work."
--Olivia
"I thought that Star in the Middle was a great book. I couldn't put it down when I started reading it. I thought that all the descriptions were really helpful because I like knowing what the people and places look like. I also liked that you got a lot of different sides of the story in it."
--Sarah K.
"I really liked how the chapters alternated between Star and Wil's point of view. It helped me understand the book more clearly. Star in the Middle was very interesting through the very end!"
