The Lie of Pretend Boyfriend

It started with the first day of school everyone was talking about their romantic summers, but unfortunately Jordan Starling was stuck with her family and including her bratty brother Jamey. Her friends had asked her on how her summer was and if she had met any body special like they had did. Jordan felling pressured and said that she did met somebody special, but thank god the bell rang for classes to begin. From then Jordan tried to avoid all of her friends including Jenifer. At home her mother had gotten a letter from her old friend Mrs. Elliot. She seemed to be upset so I didn't even try to bother her. The next morning Jordan snuck the picture of Ryan and took it to school so that her friends could believe that her pretend boyfriend was real. After school her Mom told her that her friend Mrs. Elliot had broken up with her husband and that she and her son Ryan was coming to live with them just until Mrs. Elliot could find a place to live on their own... as the time went by Jordan had kept lying about her And Ryan's relationship..... I thought the book was one of the greatest books I ever read, but I was not expecting Ryan's reaction at the end. Otherwise it was a very good book.

A lighter side of McDaniel

Even though this book is not the typical "cryin' and dyin'" stuff Lurlene McDaniel's readers are used to, My Secret Boyfriend is still a great read. She has created characters that are like most teenagers--self-conscious and pressured to be like everyone else. This novel is good because we see the main character get herself into a real pickle and get to watch her wiggle her way out of it. This would make a GREAT movie!

My Secret Boyfriend

This book was ok, but not quite up to Lurlene Mcdaniel's normal standards. I normally read her books that have disease; so, I was shocked to see that there was no disease. I would recommend you read this book, but I want to say if you normally read her books that have disease be forewarned there is no disease.Bye, E.J.P.
