The book North of Beautiful is really good. There's the typical control freak girl who has all the looks but with one major flaw. She has a port wine stain that she was born with, it's like a birthmark but it stretches all across her face. Terra runs into Jacob when she nearly kills him while driving, and he's the only one who never stared or said anything about her birthmark.
There are some major differences between Jacob and Terra but they seem to understand each other more than anyone else does. Jacob's more of the cool and collected go with the flow person, but with their two very different personalities, I think that they balance each other out. It gets to the piont where you start to wonder why they haven't known each other all of their lives.

Review Of Alli's blogpost
I liked Alexandria N.'s blogpost, http://book--sparks.blogspot.com/ because she put a poem that she found that she felt related to the book, or the point she was making about the book and explained it. I liked how she used something from another source other than the book itself to prove her point about the characters.I think that I can learn a lot about how I can better improve my blogpost because to be honest, I haven't had much inspiration on how to make them better.
Something alse that I really liked about Alexandria's post is how before just putting the poem on there and then explaining how it related to the book, she first told the reader the reason why she chose it and how even though she had read the book before, had found something that still spoke to her in another way. I can relate to that because more often then not, I choose to read a book and it's really good, but I see things differently than I did the first time reading it. I think more about what the characters are feeling beyond the pages and the words that the author is describing to me, and I think that as a reader it's really important to do that.
Another thing that made me choose to write about Alexandria's post was how she broke up each section of the poem and explained how it related to her point, she never lost focus on her goal and what she was trying to convey to the reader's. She spoke about how each part of the poem effected a character specifically or how that portion of the poem related to how the characters were feeling at the time.
I think that Alli is a very strong writer, and I enjoyed reading her post very much.
