Review: The Day Before Lisa Schroeder

The Day BeforeThe Day Before

 Ebook, 320 pages 
Published June 28th 2011 by Simon Pulse 
Got it from the Author (thank you Lisa)
Goodreads Synopsis:
Amber’s life is spinning out of control. All she wants is to turn up the volume on her iPod until all of the demands of family and friends fade away. So she sneaks off to the beach to spend a day by herself.Then Amber meets Cade. Their attraction is instant, and Amber can tell he’s also looking for an escape. Together they decide to share a perfect day: no pasts, no fears, no regrets.
The more time that Amber spends with Cade, the more she’s drawn to him. And the more she’s troubled by his darkness. Because Cade’s not just living in the now—he’s living each moment like it’s his last.


Review.

I love Lisa Schroeder's I Heart You, You Haunt Me Reviewed Here,
When i found out that The day before
was being released soon i was so excited.
The Day Before is an enticing novel. As always Lisa's books are an easy difficult read.
When I say that I mean it in the nicest way.
It is an easy read in the sense that Lisa writes it in verse which for me is the best form or writing in
the world.
It was difficult because it is so damn sad.
The novel is just plain awesome, there isnt a better way to put it.
I thought The Day Before was a brilliant coming of age story of two young adults who have
been thrown, life altering hurdles. When they met each other they were given a choice.
I feel that alot of us are given similar choices some take the easy way out some take the hard way out.
I think that this is a fantastic YA novel teens and younger adults should read this, books like this should
be studied in schools so kids realize some times the right thing to do may seam like the wrong thing to do and
the choice to do the wrong is far easier and far less hurtful then the right thing to do but we still have to do th
right thing because we know deep in out hearts it is the right thing to do.
Amber and Cade have a place in my heart and i cant wait to get a hard copy of this book when it is in Australian stores.
I said it before and i will say it again, Lisa Schroeder is a kick ass Author and its books like this that get her that title.


If the synopsis, cover, awesome review and the fact that Lisa Schroeder wrote this novel hasnt quite made you want to run out and buy this book yesterday heres and Awesome Trailer to go with it.

Review: I Heart you,you haunt me - Lisa Schroeder




In celebration of Lisa Schroeder's next release "The Day Before" which hits shelfs, and online book stores July 28h (check back before release date for The Book Mystress’s review.), I have decided to review another of Lisa’s novels “I Heart You, You Haunt Me.”



 I heart you, you haunt me – Lisa Schroeder.
·         Reading level: Young Adult
·         Paperback: 240 pages
·         Publisher: Simon Pulse; Original edition (January 8, 2008)
·         The Book Mystress Rating: Mega Yay.
·         Goodreads Summary: Girl meets boy. 

Girl loses boy. 

Girl gets boy back... 

...sort of.
 

Ava can't see him or touch him, unless she's dreaming. She can't hear his voice, except for the faint whispers in her mind. Most would think she's crazy, but she knows he's here. 

Jackson. The boy Ava thought she'd spend the rest of her life with. He's back from the dead, as proof that love truly knows no bounds


The Book Mystress’ Review:
It was simple to love this book, Lisa’s unique writing style was amazing. I have never read a complete book in a day before but I did with this one.
Ava was lost like anybody would be after losing the love of her life, but unlike some novels I have read, she did what she had to do and go over it. . . let me elaborate. A lot of books like this the main characters like to play the victim, Ava was hurting over Jackson and sure this greif made her mind play tricks on her but in the end she knew she had to move on and she did.
I live Lisa’s unique style of writing, if you have ever read one of her books you know what I mean, if you haven’t then imagine a complete story being told like you where passing notes at school, or like you were just sitting in the corner of some one’s mind looking on.  You cant really explain the style you have to try it for your selves.
I never really understood how people could fall in love at such a young age, but now i realize its not what matters. What matters is cherrishing what we have because we are never to young to lose everything.
I do recommend this book to everyone who has a heart. 

Thanks for stopping by, 
The Book Mystress, xx
