Everyone can use a great Breakfast Club reminiscent coming of age story. Which is why The Perks of Being a Wallflower is destined to be a hit.

As soon as I heard Ellen Hopkins had a new book out I scurried over to Indigo to buy it; as my favourite author, Hopkins books are the holy grail of literature. There was no way my bookshelf would be deprived of the wonder and bliss that is her complete collection of teen books. Her…
In a few hours, I’ll be waking up, getting ready, and going to school. In all likelihood, so will you. Chances are that at some point, we will each complain about school, too.

Elementary was a time when my backpack only held my lunch, and a football, and was a lightweight to carry. Elementary however…
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who hates cupcakes, especially Crave‘s cupcakes; who could? Normally, I’m a die-hard lover of the Nutty Over Chocolate (a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing, yum!), but the other day I stumbled across a post on Crave’s website which made my heart sing; for the entire month of…
