I've never read a "Blog-Novel" before, so you are going to have to bare with me and my inexperience, but wow...what a wild ride. With a genre so foreign to me I was uncertain as to what to expect. Yes... people write blogs (obviously) people chat online, people even create whole new lives on sites like "Second Life" but to take these elements and ultimately form them into a story had me not only a little book-shy, but astounded at the bravery it must take to step outside of the box.While I'm not going to spout prolifics and say this novel will inspire world peace, and change your life, I will say that it was shamefully intriguing. Instead of reading a book, it's more like eavesdropping in on private conversations... you know you shouldn't, you know it's wrong, but damn it if you just can't help yourself. There is nothing people (secretly) wish for more than knowing all the dark inner thoughts of the people around them, so (again) while this book will not change your life, it is liable to calm some of those secret "busy-body" fetishes you claim to know nothing about.
Jade a "fresh out of an all girls school" 17 year old... is confused. She's confused about her future, she's confused about her sexuality, and she's confused by her childhood friend who just asked her for some nude pics. In a flurry of over-thought and endless blogging Jade tries in vain to find her way. Is she really that superficial? What is she really supposed to think when he doesn't show up? And most importantly... where the crap does she find money for all of her "retail therapy?"
Just a couple things to be aware of if you plan on purchasing this book. # 1. There is an enormous amount of sex talk, so if the topic (in general) leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth, steer clear cause that is roughly 90% of this book. # 2. If you purchase it for your Kindle, be aware that sometimes the conversations look jumbled (but you will get used to it.) And # 3 there are tons of ttyl, omg, tt, bcos, lol's and irl's so if you are completely lost on text chat you will be completely lost on this book.
All in all it was an interesting read that for some reason I couldn't put down. I don't think it's for everyone, but if you are willing to "try new things" this might be just the book for you, just be sure the read the full book description before making any rash decisions.
Happy reading my fellow Bloggers and remember: we are all victims of self analyzation... it's what you do with your self criticism that counts.

I wasn't sure what to expect from a "blog novel." EyeLeash by Jess C. Scott sure opened my eyes to a new style of writing, but I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing. The novel is written in blog style, a young girl keeping a diary online and discussing private topics. Jade Ashton is a 17 year old virgin, who meets Novan, a friend from the past. Novan was once the geeky friend who crushed on Jade, but has grown into a hot songwriter/musician. Jade writes diligently in her private blog over the course of the year, and readers watch the relationship between her and Novan grow deeper and deeper. But when Novan unexpectedly drops Jade, she is left to turn to her friends for comfort and understanding. The deeply personal writing almost feels like trespassing at times, but helps understand the main character and how she is feeling. Since the novel picks up right as she begins her blog and her friendship with Novan, there is really no background story to get acquainted with. I found myself overly confused when a 17 year old girl seems to be living without parents and spends hundreds of dollars shopping but doesn't have a job. I think if there had been some background at first or even throughout the story I could have a deeper connection with Jade's character, but I just never got there. I think Scott's efforts and talents do shine through at times, because there were two sections that I could not seem to stop reading. But overall, the characters and plot lines were too confusing for me to grasp. An interesting read if someone wants to check out blog novels, but not something I'll be quick to recommend. Also, if reading sex scenes make you uncomfortable, pass on this one. The sexual language is quite strong and common throughout.
I want to thank Traveling to Teens for the chance to be a part of the Eyeleash blog tour!
So this novel is about Jade Ashton and her relationship with a guy named Nolan. They both blog, but for various reasons. Ashton blogs to kind of like vent, she's like a writer and doesn't want to step on anyone's toes or anything so she has a blog that's "unsearchable and password protected". Think of it more like a diary, I like that idea because back when I was 14 or so, I didn't know about blogs so I did it the old fashioned way. Nolan writes poetry and songs; he's such a complex character and that's one of the things I really enjoyed. The format of the novel was just abs amazing. It's literately just like someone's personal blog, things are misspelled, there's a lot of url usage, nicknames, abbreviated language one might use to text.
The characters were well developed and had their own personalities. Jade expresses herself within her blog, you can tell exactly how she feels, what she cares about, among other things. Nolan is expressed through Jade's blog snippets. He talks about pursing his career in music and about this girl who he likes but isn't sure how to tell her how he feels. It's actually quite cute; his blogs were one of my favorite parts of this novel. Jade has two other friends that are known more for their IM names, and they're quite unique. For example, one of them was, "SeXy nAuGhTy BiTcHy Me", which I thought was quite interesting. Jade struggles with her sexuality throughout the entire novel. Her friends have pretty much all have sex and then when she see's Nolan, he's an entirely different person (physically) than the last time she had seen him, so she lust for him throughout the novel. So she and her friends try to get her ready for that precise moment with quirky little facts and myths. The language is just as if it were a teenager talking, I abs loved that.
There were a couple of things that I did have a problem with. Jade is so shallow. She pretty much talks about how hot a guy is and how much she lust for him in almost every blog entry. At some points it got tiring but I guess in this society now a days, teens struggle with that. I did really like how she showed the struggle of being a "perfect teen" through Jade, with the obsession of how her body looked in naked pictures and how much she worried about getting pregnant. Overall it's a very good, talented and excellent read. I give it 4 out of 5 paws.
