Tangled-Carolyn Mackler

       This book is about how the lives of 4 people change from ok to worse after. Jena, and Skyle are 2 girls on the trip together. They hate each other, why? well Jena thinks that Skyle is show off because she's a model and Skyle thinks that Jena is loser because she has no boyfriend. Then there's Dakota and Owen, their're brothers. They live in different places since there parents are separated Dakota thinks that being cool and getting drunk is everything and Owen is the nerdy brother that speaks poetry. This book contains many plot twists along with things that should have never happened. Four people, four stories told in four months of tragic and twists.

       One thought that left me while reading the book was why did Owen commit suicide? He had no reasons but Dakota had a lot? I mean he was having a good life. Like, he was doing so good in school. Also, his mom always cared about him and never expected more than him and his mom always encouraged him. Not to mention, he had friends. Suicide is a very harsh things to the victim's family and friends and they know it will hurt them, but why does it happen? If there is no motive, then why does it happen? Another thought that the book left me was that why is Jena so interested for a boyfriend. I mean the book taught me that love isn't everything in the world. Like, when Jena finally had boyfriend ( Dakota, I can't believe she dated that jerk!) and when bad things were starting, she should have just dumped him. Instead she just ignored everything. Like the time when he was saying how her outfits are bad or when she suspected that he was cheating on her, she should have said something. Not to mention, Dakota later on develops feeling for Skyle while dating Jena. Not to mention, he barely cared about his brother's suicide. But later on, everything combines and Dakota ends ends up going to a lot of trouble.

       One thing I noticed about Dakota is that he is very awful. He was dating 3 girls at once, which later on broke 3 people's hearts at the same time. Also, since his dad was a sheriff  he took big advance of that. He thought that he wouldn't get in trouble no matter what bad things he did. But later on, his dad arrested him even if its his own son. One thing this book taught me was that you shouldn't take advantage of the things around you. Because it will fire-back to you badly.
