A Perfect Ten by Chris Higgins

I choose this book because, well even though you're not supposed to 'judge a book by its cover' I did and it seemed interesting.
The story is about a girl 'Eva' who works hard to be the girl all the other girls wish they could be: pretty, popular, smart and the queen of her gymnastics clique, the 'Jimmies'. Perfection. That's the key aim in Eva's life and she'll settle for nothing less. However that arrival of a new girl threatens her 'perfect' life and things start to unravel. She seemed to have it all, but as you read on you find out her life isn't so perfect. Her mother goes to rehab, her father is hardly around, her best friend is more interested in her brother and Eva has to fend for herself.
The book was really interesting and had a really unexpected twist at the end. I would rate this book about 8/10 and recommend it to any teen (not just a girl) who likes stories with shocking twists you don't see coming.

  2. Sounds good. Hopefully, someone else in the class will read it and maybe add a comment. Have you read any other books by this author? Maybe you could try Hostel Girl by Maurice Gee - Kiana has written a review of it if you are interested (a paper review).
