Summary: Really Different (in the best way possible)
Comment: I was extremely excited to see Gingerbread at the library ... I started it last night and finished it this morning and loved it. ...Cyd Charisse is a 16 year old who's had sex, lived across the country from half her family, and just experienced life completely differently from me. But she's a great character that you grow to care about with her coffee obsession and her boyfriend Shrimp that you want things to work out with. She has some more serious issues with the dad she's never known, and the boyfriend who abandoned her when she was pregnant. Ever constant is Cyd Charisse's special perfect place where she would like to retreat to..it's interesting to see how this place changes as her life changes. All in all there is a happy way it all comes together, but I'm hoping for a sequel because I love the author's style of writing! Anyways, I might not be articulating this well, but go read it because it may be a quick read, but it also really makes you smile and think about the little things in life!

Summary: Gingerbread
Comment: Gingerbread is a novel about Family. It is based on a girl named Cyd and her futile effort to fit in while still standing out.
She hangs out with an elderly woman who reads tarrot cards and a boy nicknamed Shrimp for his small stature. Shrimp is her current boyfriend, who has been through everything with Cyd, even when her old boyfriend Justin got her pregnant and she had to go to her biological father for the money to get an abortion. After struggling with her parents (Sid and Nancy) to get along, she gets sent to her biological father's home where hopefully she will find who she is. She meets her half-siblings Danny and Lisbeth. In the beginning, Danny is the older brother Cyd has always wanted and needed and Lisbeth is not very understanding of Cyd. Later in the story, however, Lisbeth warms up to Cyd. After realizing how much Lisbeth struggled to be nice to her, Cyd decides it is long past the time when she should warm up to her mother. The book ends with Cyd admitting to her mother that she was pregnant and had an abortion, which begins a new relationship between the two.
