Ilustration Supposing Books Leftovers

A devastating novel of desperation and revenge from one of today's most compelling new voices in fiction. In this follow-up to her heartbreaking debut, Such a Pretty Girl, Laura Wiess once again spins a shattering tale of the tragedies that befall young women who are considered society's Leftovers.

Blair and Ardith are best friends who have committed an unforgivable act in the name of love and justice. But in order to understand what could drive two young women to such extreme measures, first you'll have to understand why. You'll have to listen as they describe parents who are alternately absent and smothering, classmates who mock and shun anyone different, and young men who are allowed to hurt and dominate without consequence. You will have to learn what it's like to be a teenage girl who locks her bedroom door at night, who has been written off by the adults around her as damaged goods. A girl who has no one to trust except the one person she's forbidden to see. You'll have to understand what it's really like to be forgotten and abandoned in America today.

Notice Epithetical Books Leftovers

This story really allows you to see two different and completely heart breaking situations that children could go through. You have one character, Blair, that gets ignored and is basically treated as a doll, meaning she gets paraded around when needed. Then another character, Ardith, that is living without any kind of support, a life where she has to lock her door at night to protect her virginity. I find it hard to believe she wasn't raped sooner in life, just based on the crazy stuff the

I read this book in one day. I couldnt put it down. So much going on in this story to digest.

I have no idea what people saw in this book. I'm being nice by giving it 2 stars. The writing was strange - I want to read a book, not be talked AT. "You did this and your mom came home, blah blah blah" - The perspective of the book was weird. Answers were given in the dialogue when a question wasn't even asked and you just had to figure it out yourself. It was odd. It took me FOREVER to read this book because I kept reading other books in between, just because I didn't care enough to finish

When Greta told me I needed to read this, I jumped at it. As per usual I am so SO SO glad I did. But lets get something straight. When Greta tells me to read something, I do it, and then I usually feel a little dirty afterwards. *waggles eyebrows* If ya know what I mean. This book also left me feeling a bit dirty, butNOT NOT NOTin the way that you think. I feel worn raw by the sheer truth in all this. Laura Wiess takes us on a journey into the lifes of teenagers Blair and Ardith. She takes you

Two girls, Blair and Ardith, are two best friends. Both of them have been neglected by their parents in different ways. Blair's mother is a defensive attorney, is completely self centered, and focused only on becoming a judge. Her father has lost all interest in being a family and is having an affair. Ardith's parents have yet to grow up. They hold parties for their 17 year old son, provide alcohol and cigarettes to minors. Ardith doesn't feel safe in her own home because of her older brother's

The Novel, 'Leftovers' is an interesting book with a unique point of view. It was published in August of 2008 by author Laura Weiss. She has already proven herself as a writer with a unique style. She isn't wary of topics that are controversial or not widely talked about. The novel is definitely a fiction novel directed at youths. The characters are very well developed and especially the two main characters from which the story was told. I think that someone who found themselves in these types

'So are you still rooting for us, Officer Dave, or has the manifestation of our anger shifted us from sympathetic victims to heartless predators? Are you going to be one of those people who, no matter what happens, blames the girls?' this book is lyrical and visceral and beautiful and ugly all at the same time. It may or may not own my soul now.
