My Life in Black and White
Lexi has always been stunning. Her butter-colored hair and perfect features have helped her attract friends, a boyfriend, and the attention of a modeling scout. But everything changes the night Lexi's face goes through a windshield. Now she's not sure what's worse: the scars she'll have to live with forever, or what she saw going on between her best friend and her boyfriend right before the accident. With the help of her trombone-playing, defiantly uncool older sister and a guy at school recovering from his own recent trauma, Lexi learns she's much more than just a pretty face.
My Life In Black and White by Natasha Friend, tackles big issues throughout her novel for all teens. This chosen novel was a thrilling dramatic realistic fiction book which portrays young readers towards self-discovery. The true meaning of this novel is to find self-worth and physical attractiveness within yourself. As many know finding self-worth and the true beauty within the person you are can seem nearly impossible for teenagers. The main character, Alexa demonstrates self-discovery and
Such an uplifting book. I knew from the start I was going to enjoy every second of it. Now I want to read the rest of Friend's work. Well deserved 4 stars.
My Life in Black and White is a perfect example of a well-meaning, bad book. Lexi Mayer has always been beautiful, and even though it's very obvious, Lexi refuses to admit that her best friend Taylor has always been jealous of her. One night, at a party, Taylor betrays Lexi, things spiral out of control, and Lexi ends up in a car accident that "ruins" her flawless face.I can't believe the author of one of my favorite teen novels, For Keeps, wrote My Life in Black and White. Not one person in
This book was not what I was expecting. My sister was the one who recommended it to me. About half way through I was about ready to give up. It was pretty depressing. The main character, Lexi, was so full of self-pity and all of her friends were so fake. However, my sister reassured me that the ending was really good. And it was. The message was really neat. Beauty isn't everything. Eventually Lexi comes to understand this and moves forward.
This is the sort of book that reminds me that I really must expand my reading horizons, that I shouldn't always go directly to paranormal/ fantasy reads, that every now and again I should veer off and pick up a contemporary read. While there was many things that I enjoyed about this book, a unique and gripping storyline, a storyline that plays on the emotions of its readers and the likes of, my most favourite part was Lexi herself. I find that in the vast majority of books I read the main
The premise of the story sounded interesting, young girl whose life gets thrown upside down because of an accident, and the plot itself lived up to what I was expecting. There were, at times, where I felt bad for Alexa, or Lex, because of the pain and suffereing she was going through. That's all that I felt for her though. Other than that, I did not like her at all. The author was definitely going for a character who was not the most likable at the beginning, who you get to see change throughout
