Today TAB member The Bestie, aka Ky, reviews two new books. One came out in January 2016 and the other comes out on Febraury 23rd.

It’s All Your Fault by Paul Rudnik

Publisher’s Description:

My name is Caitlin and up until forty-eight hours ago I had never:

Tasted alcohol, kissed a boy, sang in public at the top of my lungs, kidnapped anyone or—WHAT? STOLEN A CONVERTIBLE?

Now I’m in jail and I have no idea what I’m going to tell:

The police, my parents, the mayor, all of those camera crews and everyone on Twitter.

I have just noticed that:

My nose is pierced and I have—WAIT? IS THAT A TATTOO?

I blame one person for this entire insane weekend:

My famous cousin.

Who is also my former best friend.

Who I have HATED for the past four years.

Who I miss like crazy. NO I DON’T!!!!

IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT, HELLER HARRIGAN!!!! (Scholastic, January 2016)

Ky’s Thoughts:

I’m absolutely intrigued by this book. Not only is it hilarious, but Paul Rudnick did a fantastic job of getting the true meaning of family seeped throughout the pages. I highly recommend this book for anybody feeling down because there is a laugh waiting behind every page. There is truly nothing that the author needs to fix, it’s definitely spot on!

Kill the Boy Band by Goldy Moldavsky

Publisher’s Book Description:

From debut author Goldy Moldavsky, the story of four superfan friends whose devotion to their favorite boy band has darkly comical and murderous results.

Okay, so just know from the start that it wasn’t supposed to go like this. All we wanted was to get near The Ruperts, our favorite boy band.

We didn’t mean to kidnap one of the guys. It kind of, sort of happened that way. But now he’s tied up in our hotel room. And the worst part of all, it’s Rupert P. All four members of The Ruperts might have the same first name, but they couldn’t be more different. And Rupert P. is the biggest flop out of the whole group.

We didn’t mean to hold hostage a member of The Ruperts, I swear. At least, I didn’t. We are fans. Okay, superfans who spend all of our free time tweeting about the boys and updating our fan tumblrs. But so what, that’s what you do when you love a group so much it hurts.

How did it get this far? Who knows. I mean midterms are coming up. I really do not have time to go to hell. (Scholastic Point, February 23, 2016)

Ky’s Thoughts:

Kill The Boy Band is a book filled with crazy twist and turns, betrayal, and murder!?!? Though you might think the title tells it all, you’ll be suprised to find out that the title is just the beginning of the story.  This book had my mind racing and i could hardly put it down.
