Kara's thoughts on The Girlfriend

The Girlfriend is a book about a boy in highschool named Scotty. He has a girlfriend, Lora, that he really likes, but when she goes away on vacation for a week he goes out with a new girl, Shannon. He doesn't even like her he just thought she was hott. When Lora came back Scotty expected Shannon to understand, but when he trys to tell her she gets mad and does things to him like: kill his snake, break his fingers, set his car on fire, and kill Lora's cat. Scotty feels bad lieing to Lora and everyone and wants to tell someone, but can't. He is really afraid and can't be himself. I thought this book was great and I encourage everyone to read it. It can be a little nasty (when the snake is cut in half), but other than that it is awesome.

suspense at its finest

He absolutely loves hsi grilfriend Lora and even can stand her stuck up family. But one Friday, Lora goes to Europe with her family and is not there to cheer Scottty on. Not going to the regular school dance, Scotty decides to just go home and watch a video. He sees a girl sitting next to his car with a bike who claims to have a flat tire. He offers her a ride, and out of the blue in the car, her asks her to go out to eat with him. The two have a good time, and then out of teh blue again, asks her out for the next night. After the next day, thinking he has had a fun fling, Scotty settles down and deciedes to wait for Lora. But his new friend, Shannon isn't ready to let him go, and she'll stop at nothing for him to be hers and hers alone. No matter what the cost.THE GIRLFRIEND is one of those books that has everything: football, drama, love deception, and enough delicious suspense that I gobbled it in one long, delicious gulp. Stines clever yarn creates for us a protagonist. Scotty is skillfully developed and utterly convincing and believable. This is a thriller that actually thrills, and will give you chill and make you wonder who you choose to grow close to in high school.

Awesome Book

This is the type of book you can not put down once you started reading it. I never really liked reading books but this book changed that. If you like the type of books that don't have to many characters but still is a interesting story this is the book for you. The ending in this however was not as good as I thought it would be but still really good. This book has adventure, mystery, and love mixed into one story. Once you are done reading this book you will think to yourself I sure do hope I never get a girlfriend like that!.
