Format:Paperback
Lauren's life seems almost perfect at first. She's got a perfect boyfriend, Dave. She's not struggling with school. She's got an awesome best friend, Katie. She doesn't really fight with her father. Her life is good. Safe, but good.
She's not happy, though. Lauren doesn't know why, but her life doesn't seem like all it's cracked up to be. Neither does her relationship with Dave, who may be just a little bit too perfect. She finds a chance to make herself happy when Evan Kirkland comes to town, but is she ready to let go and take the plunge? Is Lauren ready to leave her safe, boring life behind for the passion and happiness that she sees with Evan? She's not sure. She has, after all, struggled not to be like her mother, who let herself run away to pursue what she wanted even though it meant leaving her husband and young daughter behind. But does being who she, Lauren, wants to be have to mean sacrificing her happiness just to make the choice everyone else seems to think is right?
BLOOM is a beautiful, powerful love story, a wonderful coming-of-age story, and most of all just an amazing novel told in Lauren's fresh, funny, and distinctive voice. Lauren is a strong, likeable character, and she is not the only three-dimensional character in the story--they are all fantastic. Fantastic is also a good word to describe BLOOM itself. Elizabeth Scott is a wonderful writer, and this brilliant novel makes me very excited to see what this author will write next!

Lauren see's herself as an ordinary girl, so she doesn't quite understand why the most sweetest, most kindest, most hottest guy in school is completely in love with her. She also can't quite understand why she isn't completely in love with him. Then Evan comes along (again) and he's so un-perfect but for some reason so 'right'. Baically, she has to choose.
I absaloutely loved this book. It was so sweet, I read it after I'd had a crappy day and it kinda cheered me up in a way. If you're into all that gooey stuff get this book. At first I had to admit I was a little wary after I read that Dave the perfect boyfriend was a Christian and not into sex before marriage, I could just see the story making him out to be some kind of freak because of his beliefs which I happen to share but it didn't. yay :) I also appreciated the fact the characters were deep and insightful not plastic and just utterly predicatble I could relate.
Get this book!

I really enjoyed reading Bloom. Elizabeth Scott is a fantastic writer and managed to create some very complex and layered characters. Read more

Bloom is a teenage novel
I was quite intrigued when I saw this...Even though the story is nice and sweet and a typical teenage dilemma, there was no wow factor for myself... Read more
