Reading Response #5

I’ve been reading Bitter End by Jennifer Brown. I haven’t read much of it, only a couple chapters, but what I’ve read so far has really drew me in and kept me interested.
The amount that I have read has already given me a vision of each character and their personalities. What I’ve come to read is that Alex, which is the main character, had a death in her family which happened t be her mom. Her mom was running from something and was on the way to Colorado. On the way she got in a car wreck and wrapped her car around a tree. Alex was a small child, and wasn’t really sure what was going on.
Alex has had two best friends for almost her entire life. And after her mom died, they all decided that they were going to go on a trip to Colorado, but for Alex’s friends, it was a “senior trip” but for Alex it was a way to find out what her mom was chasing after, or to find what she was running from.
Alex is a rally good student, and when she is tutoring, a new boy comes in and she has to tutor him. He is a charming sports star and a smooth talker. She automatically connected to him. Well, they talked and you could tell by the way that the author was writing that she liked this boy and she was crushing on him. He seems nice, but who knows how the story is going to go on.
The author did a really good job helping the readers grasp the concept of the story and their own way to connect to the situation going on, without having to read past the second chapter.
