Alex, Approximately

Product Information

As a teacher of 6th graders, I think it's fair to say that for every truly naive kid out there, there's at least a few who know more than the adults think they do. Jenn Bennett is an award-winning author of young adult books, including: ALEX, APPROXIMATELY; STARRY EYES; and SERIOUS MOONLIGHT. If you enjoy books with strong character development and growth, you will very likely connect on a deep level to Bailey and her story. All I wanted was a contemporary with some chat logs and old movie discussion, and I was CHEATED ON BOTH FRONTS.

So let’s talk about why this book is garbàge, using the Caraval review structure I only whip out when books got a whole lotta sh*t goin' on.

Each member of the Roth family is uniquely eccentric, yet you can see how much they all love each other through their interactions.Jenn Bennett is the author of over a dozen books, including the young adult titles Alex, Approximately; Serious Moonlight; Starry Eyes; and The Lady Rogue.

Seventeen-year-old Bailey and eighteen-year-old Porter share a deep animosity for each other as coworkers at the Cove, a kitschy museum in Coronado Cove, California. I wanted it from Jenn Bennett's name and my undying love for her other YA book, The Anatomical Shape of a Heart. star while you are saying that we should put it in trash because you don't want to give even one star.
