I feel gloomy after know that Lady Diana had broken home parents liked me. Furthermore, she got the same thing in her marriage with Prince Charles. After her separation and divorce, she cut back the number of charities. She actively supported, which had been at one time as high as 110 to a modest six, including AIDS, breast cancer, and the banning of landmines. I am proud of her dedication for human being.


I am disappointed because the book doesn’t mention the author’s name and the sources. So, I don’t know the validity of that story.

That’s an interesting book because the story tells about friendship of four freaks –at least for teenager- girls. They join in one group called ‘Bookaholic Club’. Although the title will bring our mind to boring things, but at this book, that’s actually different. It includes in fantasy genre. The characterizations are unique that made me won’t to stopped reading it.


In this story, there are four main characters. And the story use four point of views as each character. So, I have to read it carefully to understand the story from each point of view and we have to remember every events and it made me confused enough.

Title         : Just like a young girl should
Author         : Christina Koning
Publisher     : -
 Year Published     : -
Type of book     : short story
Difficulty Level     : understandable
What I like the most from the book  :
 the short story is telling us about teenagers’ love story and also friendship , some problems that often happen to  girls and boys so it suits us as youngsters as  it’s suitable for our ages.
What I like the least from the book :
There’s a part of the short story which tells the readers the process  of how a taboo,impolite,and a bad thing happened in detail,so it perhaps would inspire some readers to do exactly what the characters did. That rascal thing about having a sex is just too sensitive to be explained in a teenagers’ story.
