Story Time with Lena

I have absolutely no ideas for posts recently, but because I finished reading a book recently I decided to take the opportunity and write about it.



I'd say that The Life Shop is one of the books that you pick from the library because your parents force you to read more that you don't expect to be any good. Without spoiling much, the book is about a teenage girl who has a disabled brother and a best friend that wants to run a restaurant. She lives quite a happy life but this company kicks in with a catalogue from which you can buy anything but you give your personality away. It sounds really cliché and dull but I enjoyed it and I wonder a little why it never got as big as Charlie Bean books for instance. The story line is clichéd, and I hated the way it progressed but the atmosphere and the way the scene was set literally made me stay up till midnight just to finish that chapter.  If you're looking for something to fill up on your book challenge or other, then I advise you to read this book instead of forcing yourself to read the Twilight series.
