Perks of Being a Wallflower



Dear Friend,
     I'm writing to you because Charlie writes to you and so does she, your friend. Charlie said that he writes letters to you because you would listen and understand, also because, "You didn't try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have." I want you to know that Charlie has problems, and that he is special. Charlie wants the best for everyone, although that doesn't always mean he wants the best for himself. He also recently started high school. Charlie is in a group of friends, but they are seniors and I'll worry about him when they graduate. They all seem really nice and a good fit with Charlie. He also has become friends with his english teacher and he seems to have always done well in English so I bet he'll be challenged. I think that Charlie has been doing better than before, now that he has friends in high school. I really hope that Charlie stays this happy, even though he still has his ups and downs.
                                                                                                                           Love Always,
                                                                                                                           Lexie

Ketchup Clouds

Ketchup Clouds is about a girl who falls for two boys. The girl, Zoe later finds out that they are brothers. A lot happens, between her and the two brothers and one of the brothers ends up dead.
Zoe feels guilty over it so she writes letters (after the whole thing has happened) to a convited murderer who is on Death Row. Zoe tries to write out all that has happened because she hasn't been able to tell anyone, and the only other person who shares her guilt is in South Africa. Zoe talks about what happened, and how she's dealing with it now.

I rated Ketchup Clouds four stars. ✯✯✯✯

I rated the book four stars because I liked how the story was told by Zoe witing letters to a convicted murderer. I didn't like how we never got to see what the murderer, Mr. Harris, was thinking. Although at the very end of the book there was a unsent letter Aaron (one of the brothers) wrote to Zoe which I thought was a good way to end the book. Overall I really did love the book and liked how the author wrote it, in Zoe's perspective through her letters.

A person who might like this book would be someone who likes to read romance, mystery, justice, or even murder books. Someone who likes books with love triangles would also like this book.
