Being Sixteen

By Allyson Braithwaite Condie (aka. Ally Condie)

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book!!! It was so personal for me!!!! (Does Ally really know me??? How did she get into my head??? and, am I still 16???)

Would I recommend it??? A yeah, to everyone!!! It is one of those books that reminds you that you are NOT alone!!! This really was an amazing book! (even if you are 16 + like me...)

The night of my sixteenth birthday, I didn’t even bother to make a wish when I blew out the candles on the cake. It was my sixteenth birthday, after all. My wishes had already come true. When you turn sixteen, you can start dating. And driving. And living. I counted the candles on my cake as the flames flickered in the summer breeze. I heard the cheers of my friends and family, and as I tasted cake and summer and the promise of good times to come, I thought, This is going to be a good year. Maybe the best year of my life. I had no idea.
