Book Review...

All the Things I've Done
by Gabrielle Zevin

I don't often break down and buy books, but I saw this book and wanted to read it right away (although our library should have it on the shelves soon). I am not sure if it was the organized crime or dystopian theme, or maybe even both that attracted me. Anyway, this story is set in a future where chocolate and caffeine are illegal. Teens turn to speakeasies (underground establishments) to get their fix. Anya is not an ordinary teen at the speakeasies. She is the daughter of a powerful mob boss that deals chocolate. However, he is now dead, so Anya is in charge of keeping the family together. This is difficult due to a murder charge, sick grandmother, and a forbidden romance with the district attorney's son. What more could you ask for in a book? I definitely suggest you check it out!!!
