Wait...You Haven't Read This?!

Susane Colasanti has written some great novels, such as: When It Happens, Waiting for You,  Something Like Fate.  Her books are about characters that the reader can relate to and by the end of the book, feels like they are good friends.

Her latest novel, Keep Holding On is just another in a line of great reads.  This is the story of Noelle, a girl having a rough time at school.  Her home life isn't great.  She lives in constant fear that people will find out about it.  She's also dating a guy she really isn't that into.  Who is she really into?  Julian Porter.  Oh yeah.  But does he even know she's alive?  Doubtful.  No wait, make that definitely not.  Noelle tries to keep her head down and stay off the radar.

But then Julian starts talking to her and Noelle is even more nervous and stressed out.  Should she give Julian a chance and risk a broken heart or should she stay in a dead end relationship with Matt? 

This isn't just a story about love, though.  There is also a lot of bullying that happens and the story follows how Noelle and her friends react to and deal with bullying when it goes too far.

If you've read Sarah Dessen or Elizabeth Scott, or other Susane Colasanti books, you will definitely want to pick this one up.
