Deep Green: Color me Jealous, Actually Color Me Intrigued

     One of the books I read this quarter is called Deep Green by Melody Carson. This book is about a girl named Jordan, she used to be best friends with a girl named Shawna. They had just recently contacted and were on the verge of being friends again, until Shawna breaks up with her boyfriend Timothy. Timothy expresses love for Jordan and then they start dating. This ruins Shawna and Jordan's friendship, and this is when everything falls apart. Jordan misses having a best friend so she goes out of her way to make her feel good about her self and make her feel happy. Jordan ends up cutting off time with her family and giving Shawna things that are valuable to her. Jordan just really wants Shawna to like her again. Her need to be liked gets out of hand, all the way to the point where Timothy notices and questions it. But, Shawna has a plan. A plan to get Timothy back and get Jordan out of the picture, completely put of the picture. Jordan that that Shawna was reliable so she didn't see it coming.
     I really liked this book because it had to offer readers, even if readers had a different view point on somethings.  This book mentioned about some things about God, and the things that were said in the book were vague, so you could either read a lot into it and get the religious aspect of the book, or you could completely ignore that message. The other message was more for the average American teenager reading a book about drama. That message was that jealously can make you do some crazy thing and those things can make you lose sight of what's important. I am in the middle of those two things so this book offered a lot to me and that is why I liked it so much. This book is part of a series and I can't  wait to read more.
