Scribbler of Dreams by Mary E. Pearson

      About the book: Romeo and Juliet had the right idea. About dating the enemy that is. They were true to their hearts. Kaitlin Malone knows what it's like to date the enemy. She was raised to hate the Crutchfields, and absolutely does - until she meets Bram Crutchfield. It turns out he's a great guy, one she can talk to, share things with...even love. But when Kaitlin gives her heart to Bram, her world spins out of control. Soon the Crutchfields are her friends and she's a traitor to her own family.
      To make things worse, Bram was raised to hate the Malones, especially Kaitlin's father - who murdered Bram's dad. Bram doesn't know Kaitlin is a Malone. If he did, he'd hate her, too.
      What's a star-crossed lover to do?

      Quote of the Book: "Just thoughts, glimpses, things running through my head." -Kaitlin Malone

      My thoughts and opinion: I really like how it was a twist to Romeo and Juliet. It was like a modern day Romeo and Juliet. It was interesting that Kaitlin's character was a writer and Bram's character was an artist. I thought that gave them more depth. This book was a fairly quick read and it was pleasant as well. 
      Kaitlin was a character I could not relate to at all. For one, she was a writer. A dedicated and devoted writer who wrote almost every waking moment. I did admire her strength to keep going on and continue with her life even though her father was in jail. She transferred schools and not only that but she transferred to the school that belonged to the Crutchfields. That was a difficult thing to do yet she survived in the end. I did not like how she deceived Bram for so long. I could understand that she wanted to wait for the right moment, but sometimes you just have to make the right moment happen. Life is way too short to wait. And did she really think her secret wasn't going to come out sooner or later? It just amazes me how she thought no one would figure it out especially when she wasn't being that careful. 
      I did not like Bram as much because he turned his back on Kaitlin for the longest time and then he had a brilliant realization that he couldn't live without her. He turned really cold the moment he found out Kaitlin was a Malone even though he admitted that he loved her; I guess all of that didn't matter if her name was the enemy's name. 
      Overall, I liked the book and it was a decent read. A nice thing about the book would be the cover because the tint is cool and that locket is beautiful. The story is not that complex so it could definitely be for someone looking for a quick read.
