Representaion As Books Yearbook (Yearbook Trilogy #1)
It was the first day of school at Lakeview High, and everyone was afraid of something. Michaela Choi was afraid that Ethan Back was never going to ask her out on a date. Andrea Beck was afraid that someone would find her weak spot, the chink in her armor. She was afraid of knowing what it was herself. Principal Downing was afraid she was going to die. Julie Reid was afraid that no one would notice her. She was also afraid that someone would. And there was a deeper, unnamed fear inside her that she couldn't escape - a fear that she was nothing and no one . . . Yearbook is a captivating story about relationships and heartaches and fears and ideas and doubts and testimonies and everything that a teenage mind and a backpack can contain. But most important, Yearbook is a novel about how everyone has something to offer and something to learn.Rating Epithetical Books Yearbook (Yearbook Trilogy #1)

This Book is really coolAs first novels go, this work fell in the realm of adequate. Some of the characters held a great deal of depth, while others barely semm 2-D. I want to give the writer props, however, for difficulty in writing styles. Spanning the space of a school year, the reader finds him/herself in the head of a different person each chapter. An attempt to write in so many styles to truly set each character apart is never easy. The author uses journal entries, 1st person narratives, and a poem.The author
This was my first book by Condie that I read. I was surprised and impressed, thinking here is an LDS author writing fiction to an LDS audience, and she can write! Hooray! So many LDS YA books have weak plot lines and characters, or also are poorly edited. Not this book! Not this author!
If you put my high school experience in a book... this would be it
I really enjoyed this book. There were so many different characters and they all fit into each others life like little puzzles pieces. I think that is how life is. We never know who is going to be a part of our puzzle and often times when we meet people and they share ideas or their testimony with us, it becomes a missing piece to our puzzle. I felt like the stories were all very different and I liked how the book ended. The quote below is one of my favorites. Jonathan's granparents had this
3.5 Stars I actually really enjoyed this book. It was a realistic, easy-read that contained so many great messages.I loved reading the different points of view of everyone and seeing how they all connected. However, the big time gaps and the tell-not-show style prohibited it from flowing as well as it could have.The story itself didn't have a lot of "oomph", as you could say, but the themes of the novel make up for it. I bumped up my rating from 3 to 3.5 stars solely because of the last chapter
When a new school year starts at Lakeview High, everyone, from students to teachers to Principal Downing herself, come in with their own set of worries, fears, and insecurities. It isn't until their worlds start colliding that they notice how similar they are. Even, the most perfect-looking people, who seem like they have it all together, can be actually falling apart inside. Michaela, Ethan, Dave, Andrea, Grandmother Anne, Avery, Julie, Tyler, the Mr. Thomas', and Principal Downing all learn
