I also felt bad for Katie. I know you said you didn&amp;#39;t. But after thinking about it after I finished the book I really did feel bad for her because of her relationship with her dad and she only had one friend. Maybe I connected with her about the older guys because I always dated older guys growing up. I wasn&amp;#39;t immature like her, I was just always &amp;quot;older&amp;quot; than my friends. I wanted to stay home while they were out on the town. I didn&amp;#39;t go to parties growing up and such. And actually had my youngest son when I was 18 and my other one when I was 21. I am still with their father- Who is 10 years older than me-so I guess Katie&amp;#39;s actions really couldn&amp;#39;t be called for since my outcome was a lot better than hers. But I still did feel sorry for her!&lt;br /&gt;Great review though. I like that you backed up why you didn&amp;#39;t like it.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570308043217778741/8560636033819727214/comments/default/5950727113167150399'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570308043217778741/8560636033819727214/comments/default/5950727113167150399'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.bellasnovella.com/2009/06/undiscovered-gyrl.html?showComment=1253644079649#c5950727113167150399' title=''/><author><name>trishalynn0708</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17822307280551930742</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='18343637917043681672'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UeZBfXfFdlE/SnYzwf_uILI/AAAAAAAAAUM/RQpCFp9Gh1I/S220/me.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.bellasnovella.com/2009/06/undiscovered-gyrl.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570308043217778741.post-8560636033819727214' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570308043217778741/posts/default/8560636033819727214' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1832229511'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570308043217778741.post-2002234639627582120</id><published>2009-07-15T17:01:07.105-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T17:01:07.105-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Undiscovered gyrl sends a message of uplifting tru...</title><content type='html'>Undiscovered gyrl sends a message of uplifting truth mixed with disturbing reality to youth and readers of all ages alike.  Katie&amp;#39;s character breeds an air of mystery alongside deeply disturbed teenage angst, a message of truth not commonly found in the typical and most despised happily ever after novel.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading the book, which I did in apporximately three elliptical sessions, caught me off gaurd at every  turn of the page and kept me captivated until the surprise ending.  Yes, I admit that i did want to know what happened to Katie, but was pleasantly satiatied in knowing that i had no idea and never would know what became of the girl undiscovered. Instead of a happy ending with Katie coming home and running into her mother&amp;#39;s arms, the novel ends the way that it should.  Nobody will know the mystery behind the mysterious teenager, a harsh yet true reality (that is unless Allison goes for round two...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, Undiscovered Gyrl sends a message of hope to those who are tired of buying into the fantasy world presented in most novels and movies and provides readers with a deep and intricate look at what the life of a real 18 year old girl could be.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570308043217778741/8560636033819727214/comments/default/2002234639627582120'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570308043217778741/8560636033819727214/comments/default/2002234639627582120'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.bellasnovella.com/2009/06/undiscovered-gyrl.html?showComment=1247695267105#c2002234639627582120' title=''/><author><name>Gena</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05757545524275763731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.bellasnovella.com/2009/06/undiscovered-gyrl.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570308043217778741.post-8560636033819727214' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3570308043217778741/posts/default/8560636033819727214' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1609817748'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570308043217778741.post-1603041974887852598</id><published>2009-07-10T19:13:48.876-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T19:13:48.876-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Katie Kampenfelt is a hero in every sense of the w...</title><content type='html'>Katie Kampenfelt is a hero in every sense of the word - - I read the book in four hours - - I just couldn&amp;#39;t put it down - - and I loved everything about Katie. And her friends. And her boyfriends. I&amp;#39;ve never read a book where I literally laughed and cried at the same time. Yes, Katie is a tortured young girl - - but you&amp;#39;ll really identify with her and you won&amp;#39;t stop laughing - - and crying. As for the end, it&amp;#39;s still with me (and I don&amp;#39;t want to give it away either). Anyhow, we&amp;#39;re having a Katie Kampenfelt Night when the book comes out and dressing like out favorite characters. I&amp;#39;m definitely going to be Katie.
