I went away to college, I went to community college and I telecommuted through online classes. Each was a very different thing, but going away and living in a dorm was truly THE college experience all the movies portray.~Jennifer~http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-19562668695385411852010-09-11T15:41:47.972-04:002010-09-11T15:41:47.972-04:00*le sigh* Although I enjoyed my college experience...*le sigh* Although I enjoyed my college experience tremendously, I do wish I had lived in a dorm of sorts.christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16749333368560606659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-75579299107766250102010-08-30T08:22:18.768-04:002010-08-30T08:22:18.768-04:00@LLM - Thanks!@Missie - Right?

I think it can really help to make a book feel fresh and the I like the way the different ways of communicating information really bring the reader into the story. It's like updating the way older novels sometimes used letters and diary entries.<br><br>@Natalie - I didn't expect to love it either. The YA I read is usually seated more in the paranormal and general YA fiction doesn't usually resonate with me. I thin it was the way college life was portrayed. It fit my own experiences so well that it felt like I lived it myself, but on a less scandalous level. I deeply related to it and I think books that effect me enough that I relate them to my own life are beyond awesome.<br><br>@The Readings of a Busy Mom - I hope it's available to you soon!<br><br>@Kittie Howard - Oh, fantastic. I did end up feeling very enthusiastic about The Ivy and I'm glad that came across well.<br><br>@Emidy - I've seen mixed reactions. Some people say that the way college life was portrayed was unrealistic and Callie was acting dumb a lot of the time. Maybe it was just the school I went to, but the drinking, drugs, and hookups were very realistic to me and most of the girls I was friend with in college (myself included) often did very dumb things during that time. I think adult's reactions to this book will have a lot to do with what their own college experiences were like.<br><br>@Jillian - How frustrating to have a copy yet not be really able to read and enjoy it. I hope you get a paper copy soon!~Jennifer~http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-48452923641645084852010-08-27T01:34:01.877-04:002010-08-27T01:34:01.877-04:00This one looks really good!
