Book Title: Living la Vida Loca Author: Belinda Jones Main Characters: Carmen and Beth (narrated by Carmen) Published: May 13th 2010 by Hodden Paperback Genre: Romance, Chick lit Setting: England (London), Argentina (Buenos Aires), Spain (Sevilla), and Cuba ( Havana) Summary:   Carmen has been feeling the need to break free for Too Darn Long. So when her equally frustrated friend Beth suggests the ultimate escape – dancing their way through a series of scorchingly-hot countries – she can’t resist! There’s just one catch... they can only go on this adventure if they participate in a reality TV show, one intent on teaching them the mournful tango in Argentina, the feisty flamenco in Spain and the sassy, celebratory salsa in Cuba! As they travel from Buenos Aires to Seville and ultimately steamy Havana, each dance has a profound effect on the girls – and indeed the sexy gauchos, matadors and dirty dancers who partner them... But, when the sun goes down, do they have ...

Book title: The Perks Of Being a Wallfower Author: Stephen Chbosky Main Character: Charlie Published: February 1st 1999 Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary Summary: Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that wil...

And now is as good a time as any to say that she was beautiful. In the dark beside me she smelled of sweat and sunshine and vanilla, and on that thin mooned night i could see little more than her silhouette except for when she smoked, when the burning cherry of the cigarette washed her face in pale red light. But even in the dark, i could see her eyes - fierce emeralds. She had the kind of eyes that predis...
