Right now I am reading a book called "Tweet Heart" and like my title suggests it is a rather large cheese fest. The book is written through blogs, emails, and tweets, which is why I chose to read it. Just a little background on the book; it is between four friends, two guys and two girls, one of the girls is hoplessly in "love" with someone not in their group but talks to the guy in their group about it who is hoplessly in "love" with her. Basically it is good 'ol fashion teen dramas, but not the pregnacy and drug type drama, just the "oh my gosh what if he doesn't like me like I like him" drama. "Dear Clueless,
Is it true that peanut butter can cure hickeys? My older sister told me that it was a surefire plan..
--All Marked Up
Dear All Marked Up,
I've had about as many hickeys as I've had shark encounters, scuffles with serial killers, Olympic gold medal performances, and vampire run-ins. Which is to say, none at all. Although I am a big fan of scarves, so I imagine that if I did find myself with a purple neck, I would go that route instead of reaching for the peanut butter.
However if you are set on the nuttier method (pun intended), I would advise doing a "test patch" like they tell you to do when you use hair dye or home-waxing kits. I'd suggest not just globbing and going. You might get a bigger but taken out if you stumble upon a particularly hungry soccer player. Or worse, your hickey giver could come back, and who knows? He or she might have a peanut allergy and explaining that one to an emergency room doctor is something I CAN'T help you with. Noo one, except maybe one of those vampires I haven't met, wants to risk being involved in a fatal neck-sucking session. And I'm guessing you are not a vampire. Or are you?
After careful consideration, I've decided on my finial answer. Wear a scarf. Or a turtleneck. Or both. You will be fashionable and discreet."
I chose to put this passage in here because it cracks me up. Claire is the person who is giving the very clueless advice, hince the name Clueless, and it is funny that she has no idea what she is talking about. The advice about getting rid of a hickey is so very high school that, that in itself made me laugh, but the passage was also very hilarious.
I am almost done with this book, which makes the fourth book that I have read for this quarter, which is insane because I don't even like to read. So far I have stuck to pretty easy reads with serious or cheesy story lines, but the next book I would like it to be more of a chapter book with an actual plot; so I am asking for suggestions. What should I read next?
