Jaime is out with his family, but not out to all of his friends. He is a part of the literacy magazine for the school. His friend does some story art and he puts in the magazine with out everyone consent. He is really attracted to his friend Mason, but doesn't want the fear of rejection from him.
This book was predicable , but it was nice to see a boy struggle with relationships with other out or closet kids. He also struggles with his feelings for Mason. I think that this book is great for kids struggling with the issues. It also brought up coming out in high school or later in life. This book also explored when someone else's family has to much religion.

BOOK OF LIFE buttons giveaway
THE BOOK OF LIFE is the highly-anticipated final installment of the bestselling All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness (Viking; On-sale: July 15, 2014; $28.95). The trilogy began with A Discovery of Witches which People magazine called, “A wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter or Twilight”. The sequel Shadow of Night debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and the Miami Herald called it, “Enchanting, engrossing and as impossible to put down as its predecessor...a perfect blend of fantasy, history and romance.” In total, over one million copies have been sold in the States with publications following in 38 countries, leaving legions of fans eagerly awaitingTHE BOOK OF LIFE, the satisfying conclusion to this superbly written series.
THE BOOK OF LIFE picks up right where Shadow of Night left off. After traveling through time, historian and witch Diana Bishop and vampire scientist Matthew Clairmont return to the present to continue their hunt for the magical alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, otherwise known as the Book of Life. At Matthew’s ancestral home at Sept-Tours, they reunite with the cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches—with one significant exception—ready to face old enemies. But the real threat to their future has yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for the Book of Life and its missing pages takes on even more urgency. In the trilogy’s final volume, Harkness deepens her themes of power and forbidden passion, family and caring, past deeds and their present consequences. In ancestral homes and university laboratories, using ancient knowledge and modern science, from the hills of the Auvergne to the palaces of Venice and beyond, the couple at last learn what the witches discovered so many centuries ago.

Skylar is in a town that is very different . She has powers, and she is able to view secrets. Piper is her older sister. Her family is also the founding members of Garnerville. In this town, no one gets sick.
Through out the book we different memories through the different 80's songs. Piper is also in love with her teacher. Piper is also in the reformatory. Skylar is taking pills to forget many things. She meets Foote who is a newbie to the town, and he is lucky. Skylar is attracted to him.
Through out the book , the wizard of OZ was brought up along with The Pied Piper. I won't go into detail because that would spoil the book. This book was a wild ride, and these topics though different melded together. I love that her books are crazy different. So far this author has been 2/2 for me liking her books.

This is what happens after the door shuts. Allyson & Willem both catch up and we see what happens during the day. We also see their friends. Both of their quotes from both books do come up in this book.
I was glad to see what happened with them. I wanted some closure and I got it. I was glad to see Allyson and Willem reconnect after that big year.

Kelly wilder has lost her husband , and for the first year she hasn't done much . Kelly is also in her 50's. Once the year is up , she decides to take a dance class. She still keeps in contact with her best friend Elyse. We see many memories , and she did sleep around , and have an affair with a married man. This year she makes friends with other dancers, and takes care of someone dying. This year is full of growth. She takes her time with relationships . She is also able to give back to many people since the death of her husband.
This book was okay , but I didn't like the cheating or finding out about through the memories. Kelly's life wasn't perfect , and she did make some poor choices. But she becomes a stronger independent woman.
