Synopsis:

Raised under the shadow of her popular and spoiled brother, AJ Dawson struggles to get any kind of compliment from her mother.

Her immature coach is determined to turn the team against her, her teammates are bent on losing every game, and the rest of the school population cowers in her presence.
AJ's mounting frustration could turn her into a ticking time bomb, and she knows the first step to solving her problems is to gain acceptance from her mother. Easier said than done. Her relationship with her mother goes from bad to worse when AJ's new green-haired boyfriend knocks on the door.

Sophie's Secret Review

Synopsis

After shedding 30 pounds of baby fat, Sophie Sinora has grown into a pretty, but insecure, teen in bloom. To make her life more complicated, Sophie can sometimes read minds.

Sophie's BFFs, AJ and Krysta, are also 'gifted' with paranormal abilities. Keeping their gifts secret proves difficult, as their powers are strengthening, making them feel more and more like freaks.

When Sophie falls for Jacob, she hopes he'll ask her out to the Freshman Formal. But when she's forced to cheat and lie for him, she wonders how far she'll have to go to make him like her. Add to her growing list of problems - her teacher's suicidal thoughts, a locker bully who wants to kick her butt, the hot school flirt who won't stop teasing her, her pregnant sister who boots Sophie out of her room, and the growing tension between Sophie and her best friends.

Sophie's got issues. Hopefully, she can fix them in time to save her teacher's life and her social life.

Review

When I first started reading this book, I honestly did not think I would like it but once I got through the first chapter I could not put it down. It was just slow to start at first but then it picks up and gets better. Sophie seems to have every problem thrown her way all at the same time. As you read you see Sophie go from a quiet girl to a teen who stands and fights back. I love the attitude she has by the end of the book. She becomes a fighter and that is just awesome! It does not hurt that she ends up with the cutest guy in school that every girl wants ;)
