Favorite Book
May favorite book would have to be the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. My campus life leader Liz told me to read the book last summer and I was kinda iffy about reading it, but it turned out that it was great. Basically the book is about why God put us on the earth and how you should live your life for him. If you are not religious I do not suggest the book, although it has a very powerful message. I would take it to the pool every day and not be able to put it down.

I love the cover of the book, it deffintantly shows the character of the book. Annabel is more quiet and keeps to herself which is shown by the girl on the front. You can not see her face, and can only see half of her body.

This is it... my last reading of this book! The family was all together because of chirstmas time, Annabel and Owen are still fighting, and Emily and Annabel still havent talked to anyone about Will Cash. These chapters stary out with kirsten showing the family the documentary that she had been working on, they all loved it! Annabel decided to go to the radio station and talk to Owen about why she has been so reserved lately. It was really tough for her to tell him about the night at the party with Will Cash, but she did. He told her that she needs to tell her family and get im into trouble because that is not right. It was ten times as hard to tell her family about he night, but she got through it and a court date was set. Annabel asked Owen if he could be there with her and he promised he would be right by her side. When they got to the courtroom she looked everywhere for Owen, but could not find him. After the court was done she walked outside and there was Owen waiting for her. She noticed that he had a black eye. He explained to her that he went to a club and saw Will and his anger got the best of him and he got in a fight with him. The verdict on Will was that he had 6 years in prision. The book ended with Annabel and Owen talking about music and being happy again.
I cant believe this book is over...the ending was terrible! I like books that leave you wanting more, and this book just left me satidfied. Although its good that Will is locked up i think it needed a more drramatic ending.

Annabel and Owen are still at the club listning to the band, and Rolly is still intarigating Clarke Annabel's old friend who Rolly is "destin to be with". When Annabel returned to school she was in the bathroom and heard people talking about Will Cash and Emily (the model she used to be friends with). She heard them say that Emily is pressing charges on Will for sexual assult. Which is exactly what he did to Annabel so its not the only time that he has done it. Annabel's mom got a call from the modeling agent and she got a very well know department store's spring commercial. She still has not told her mom that she does not want to model. Owen and Annabel had their first fight over something so stupid, they are not talking or even eating lunch together anymore. It was nearing chritstmas time and Kirsten the oldest sister came home from New York to be with the family. The family went to a coffee house and all listened to Whitney read the story she had written about the family and her eating disorder. When she read the story it was almost as if the family ahd such a better sence of togertherness and it brought them together.
These chapers were not the most eventful, besides Annabel and Owens fight which wasent even that great. There are not that many pages left so im hopeing something exciting is going to happen soon! I think that annabel and Owen are going to resolve all of their issues and get back together.

These Chapters were filled with many crazy events, and if I explained them all it would take forever so im going to sum them up. Owen and Annabel went through the car was together and listned to music because according to Annabel "everything sounds better in the car wash". In the car wash they had their FIRST REAL KISS!! AHH...I was so excited and it was perfect. In these chapters Annabel also revealed why her and Sophie are no longer friends. They were at a party together over the summer and Sophies boyfriend Will Cash got drunk, and basically tried to rape Annabel. When all this was going on Sophie walked in and saw what was going on and got the total wrong idea. She never spoke to her again, that eplains all of the rude comments at school. Also, in these chapters was Annabel's fashion show, which she cold not wait for that to be over so she could meet up with Owen at a club and listen to a band. Rolly and Owen were at the club, and Rolly was in love with this girl, she turned around and it was Clarke! Rolly go made Annabel introduce them.
These chapters were the most exciting by far! I could not put the book down when Annable was explaining the part about the party. You have to keep reading to find out what happend. Also, the first kiss! are you kidding me it was great! I cant wait to finish the book.

Annabel once again woke up early to liseten on Owens radio show. After the show was finished she called into the station to tell Owen what she though of his choice of music. He inviter her to breakfast and of course she said yes. He, Owen, and Rolly, Owens radio partner, went to breakfast. Rolly and Owen go every sunday after their radio show, Rolly lost a bet he and Owen had so he has to pay for it every time. When they got to the restraunt it was freezing inside, so Owen the gentlman that he is gave Annabel his jacket to wear. They all enjoyed breakfast, when Annabel got home she realized that she still had Owen's jacket on and in the pocket was his beloved ipod that he never went anywhere without. After cooking dinner with Whitney, Annabel went over to Owens to give him his ipod back. Before she could even right the doorbell there was Owent little sister freaking out that the model Annabel was at her door. She brought her in and showed her her room and talked her ear off. Her and her friends where doing a "photo shoot", and Owen was taking the pictures for them. As the girls went to change thier outfits Owen and Annabel had their first kiss! Which was soon interupted by one of the annoying little girls. It would have been so perfect!
Owen and Annabel we so close to having the perfect kiss! They are really starting to be into eachother, the breakfast they shared, him giving her his jacket, and the photo shoot are all awesome moments they shared together. They just need to date already! They are perfect for eachother.
