Across the Universe by Beth Revis

A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder. Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.
Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone-one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship-tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn't do something soon, her parents will be next.
Now Amy must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there's only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming.

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris—until she meets Étienne St. Claire: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.
As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss Anna—and readers—have long awaited?

So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the New York Times bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?

Kisses for Lula by Samantha Mackintosh

Lula Bird is about to turn 16, never been kissed, all because she's jinxed... (Well... Apparently)
 It's five days until Lula turns 16, and she is determined to be kissed. But trouble is brewing all around her.

The Possibility of a stalker, going on a dream date, a horrible crime that leaves the town angry and the fact that her dad is sneaking out of the house late at night, with a woman's handbag to meet a mystery woman named Freya doesn't help either.
With a list of candidates, can Lula lift the curse and stop the crime?


I recommend this book for girls aged 12 - 15.

It is a fabulous book with humorous one liners that will be rolling in your head for a long time.

The beautiful cover is only a teaser for what's inside, will theft, catastrophes, make-overs and creeps stop Lula from getting her kiss?
Well, you'll just have to read it and find out!

The zany characters are believable and have a comical style like the characters from the series Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison.

This book is a definite read for this July.
