Description In Pursuance Of Books Tangled
Paradise wasn't supposed to suck.Not the state of being, but a resort in the Caribbean.
Jena, Dakota, Skye, and Owen are all there for different reasons, but at Paradise their lives become tangled together in ways none of them can predict. Paradise will change them all.
It will change Jena, whose first brush with romance takes her that much closer to having a life, and not just reading about those infinitely cooler and more exciting.
It will change Dakota, who needs the devastating truth about his past to make him realize that he doesn't have to be a jerk just because people think he's one.
It will change Skye, a heartbreakingly beautiful actress, who must come to terms with the fact that for once she has to stop playing a role or face the consequences.
And it will change Owen, who has never risked anything before and who will take the leap from his online life to a real one all because of a girl he met at Paradise. . . .
From confused to confident and back again, one thing's certain: Four months after it all begins, none of them will ever be the same.

It's been a couple of years since I picked up a Carolyn Mackler novel. I started with the wonderful Vegan Virgin Valentine and enjoyed it so much I followed it up with her Printz Honor-winning The Earth My Butt and Other Big Round Things, which I also thought was an entertaining and thought-provoking read. And while Mara from Vegan Virgin Valentine is my favorite of her protagonists, I particularly enjoyed Virginia's journey to self-possession in The Earth My Butt and Other Big Round Things,I think it's hard to expect too much with a book that's told from four different perspectives. Granted, Mackler does a good job with voice, and trying to differentiate her characters mostly by the manner they spoke in, but she gave so little time for each person that I felt cheated. Skye's story was especially abrupt, and I braced myself for the worst (which would hit another climax in the story), but everything turned out to be peachy-keen (I still don't know if this is a good or bad thing).
I'm no stranger to Macklers books, having read all of them, I have to say that this didn't quite manage to top "The Earth, My Butt, and other Big Round Things" Which I adore and still flip through to this day, despite having read it hundreds of times over from the age of 15 onwards. Tangled is the story of 4 teenagers with very different personalities who touch each others lives in some way over the course of one summer. The book is told in 4 monthly segments, with each character telling their

I still remember the day I spontaneously bought my first Carolyn Mackler: I browsed through the musty shelves of a second-hand shop on Charing Cross Road, London, somewhat disappointed that most of what they had to offer were Penguin Classics (I had read a lot of those in an earlier reading phase of my life), coffee-table-sized volumes about gardening stuff and sticky, fly-poop-infested psycho-thrillers. In pre-internet times a trip to an English second-hand-shop used to be like Christmas Eve,
Real Rating: 0 starsI'm surprised I actually finished this book, considering the amount of times I threw it across the room in pure disgust, because the fact is:THIS BOOK IS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER READ, AND I WOULD NEVER WISH IT UPON MY WORST ENEMY.I'D SURE THEY'D RATHER BE RUN OVER BY A MONSTER TRUCK.SO IF YOU'RE THINKING OF READING IT? MOVE ON.THERE ARE BETTER THINGS TO SPEND YOUR TIME ON IN LIFE THAN THIS POOR EXCUSE FOR A BOOK.
There are some books that, once I see the cover, I know I need to read it. I see the cover or the title and I just know that I'm going to love it.This was one of those books.People are always talking about Carolyn Mackler and how she is one of the greatest YA authors on the market. Now, after reading this, I understand why.This was the first Carolyn Mackler book I have read. It is not going to be the last.Tangled is about four people and how one week changes all of their lives. The book follows
Summary: Four teens visit Paradise, a resort in the Caribbean, and their lives become tangled together after they meet.
