Bitter End, by Jennifer Brown, is the type of book that grabs your attention and never lets go. The story follows Alex, a girl who is dealing with some big issues: normal high school life, her lifelong need to found out why her mother left her when she was a child, and her first love, Cole. Her best friends, Zach and Bethany, have been by her side her whole life, and the three of them are planning a trip to Colorado after graduation. They have been meeting every week for years, trying to decide what they will do on their trip and how they will travel there. Alex has another goal for the trip: to learn about what drove her mother to leave her family behind all those years ago. As the months go by, Alex becomes distracted by her relationship with Cole, and her friends begin to worry about her changing moods and behaviors. Alex thinks that they’re simply jealous, but they are actually seeing how controlling and demanding Cole is becoming of Alex; they want to save their friend before it’s too late. Read Bitter End to see what Alex does to cope with the increasing demands in her life—once you get started, you won’t be able to put it down.
