After Eli

One of the books that I read over break is called After Eli  By Rebecca Rupp. This book is about a guy in high school, Danny, and his brother Eli, who got killed in Iraq, when he went there as a medic and his car ran  over a roadside bomb. It's all about the problems he faces at home and the changes that happen to him because of Eli. To try to cope with everything, he keeps a book of the dead, about dead people, which if you ask me is slightly creepy, but y'know, well, whatever. He also struggles over whether he should ditch his super-popular old friends to hang out with the guy who's his actual friend, but totally an outcast. And of course, because of the fact that this is a modern book, there's this girl that he likes, Isabelle. I would recommend this book to almost anybody. It was good but it wasn't like amazing or anything. It's also a really easy read.
