Want To Go Private?
Day One of the Whispering Minds YA Giveaway
I've loved and hated this book since the moment I read it. Loved because Sarah Darer Littman is an amazing author whose characters pop off the page in an unforgettable way. And hated because those characters pop off the page so realistically that it breaks my heart. They truly are unforgettable.
I yelled at the stupidity of Abby's vulnerability the first third of the book, sobbed my way through the second third and sniffled pitifully to the end. Want to Go Private? is a grim reminder that not everyone is who they appear to be..
From the back cover: "When Abby meets Luke online, she can't believe her luck. He's nice. He's funny. He thinks she's pretty.... Abby knows she's not supposed to chat with random guys online. But Luke's not a stranger."
And here, my friends is where Want to Go Private? intersects with Whispering Minds in a terrifying way. Both Abby and Gemi get sucked into a world of falsehoods by the very cyber friends they trust.
If this sounds cautionary, it is. I am a firm believer that anybody who is a girl, loves a girl or knows a girl should read Want to Go Private? I also believe that those who care for the elderly or the mentally or physically vulnerable should read it. In this day and age where an avatar can be anyone and pretty words can ring true to those yearning for more, everyone should understand just how easy it is to become a victim.
And so I give you Want to Go Private?.
Literally.

Ohh my goodness, a Splintered prize pack. Jittery with excitement over here!
Oops, neglected to fit my favorite beverage in there. I'm gonna go with coffee. The jitters aren't all from excitement...
LOL, Kelly. I was never a coffee drinker until a few years ago. It tops my list now, as well.
Splintered is such a great novel!
Chai tea latte. Delish!
Chai tea is my favorite. Vanilla or pumpkin to be exact. Thanks for sharing!
Chai is awesome, but green tea will always be my favorite!
Boring, but I think my favorite beverage is just juice.
