Choker: A Book Review

“The Ethan of her dreams had disappeared. He was just another person who was sad. She was kind of glad, actually. Dreams disappeared when you woke up. The real thing was better anyway.”
--Elizabeth Woods





I picked this book up from the library on the sole suggestion of my friend Ariel. She raved about this book, then while at the library returning and rechecking books before going to Colorado, it sat there on the shelf. I snatched it and off I went. I do not regret this decision. I officially trust Ariel, without question, in all that is book related.

Choker is about two best friends, Cara and Zoe, who were separated when Cara, was forced to move by her parents. Several years later, Cara is in high school and feeling rather miserable. She's not popular in the slightest bit and she feels that she has no friends. She even accumulates the nickname "Choker." Then, one day, Zoe appears on Cara's bed after school. She's run away from a horrible home life and begs Cara for refuge. Cara, of course, agrees, because "What are best friends for?"

This is going to be a very short review because this book is so amazing. I have no complaints what so ever. This book also needs to be read knowing as little about the story as possible. I can't even properly tell you who I recommend this book for without ruining it! All I can say is this book is though provoking, surprising, and amazing. If you're interested in good books, Choker is certainly the book for you!
