Narrative Concering Books Bliss (Crestview Academy #1)

Lauren Myracle brings her keen understanding of teen dynamics to a hypnotic horror story of twisted friendship.

When Bliss’s hippie parents leave the commune and dump her at the home of her aloof grandmother in a tiny Atlanta neighborhood, it’s like being set down on an alien planet. The only guide naïve Bliss has to her new environment is what she’s seen on The Andy Griffith Show. But Mayberry is poor preparation for Crestview Academy, an elite school where the tensions of the present and the dark secrets of the past threaten to simmer into violence. Openhearted, naïve Bliss is happy to be friends with anyone. That’s not the way it has ever worked at Crestview, and soon Bliss is at the center of a struggle for power between three girls—two living and one long dead.

Evaluation Epithetical Books Bliss (Crestview Academy #1)

This book had a lot going on, so much that while it was a well written story, too much is crammed in, and much is forgotten, leading to an unsatisfactory conclusion.The author sets up an incredibly creepy tone from the beginning. The chapters are divided alternately by excerpts from a creepy diary, quotations from 'The Andy Griffith Show' and folk songs as well as the trial of Charles Manson and his Family for multiple murders.But the tone wasn't enough to hold this book together. Plot threads



Meh... it was ok. 2.5-3 stars maybe. ***Actually NO- looking back it was MAYBE 2 stars if Im feeling generous. Dont waste your time. Very cool premise, very lackluster book. And if you are a cat person- REALLY JUST DONT! I dont know if youve ever been in a situation where you cant quite see how bad it is while youre in it, but once youre removed, you can look back on things much more clearly. Thats kind of how I feel about this book. Im actually quite disappointed in myself for getting lulled

Bliss in the Morning Dew has hippie parents and when they ditch her at her grandmothers house on their way to Canada she is forced to survive in a world that is completely alien to her.After living on a commune for years, Bliss expects high school to be like The Andy Griffith Show and is looking forward to starting frienships with people her age. Her grandmother enrolls her at Crestview Academy, an elite school that used to be a convent, which makes her both nervous and excited.Much to Bliss

What I really liked about this book was how the story started out - set in late the 1960s, 14 year old Bliss has lived with her hippie parents on a commune or some other alternative living situation for her whole life. Her parents decide to go to Canada so that her dad can avoid the draft and they drop her off with her well to do Southern grandmother who promptly enrolls Bliss in a private prep school. Talk about culture shock! I loved the historical details - tidbits about TV, clothes, customs,

It must be said Ive never been much of a Lauren Myracle fan. The Internet Girls series (trilogy?) may be revolutionary to some, but it bugs me on a conceptual level. I did try to read the first book and couldnt get past the first page. Then I tried one of her full length novels, Rhymes With Witches, and while the premise intrigued me, the novel felt like a countdown to self-implode by the last page. Which, I mean, it did. The resolution left me pretty devoid of emotion.(Trust me, theres a point

Holy shit...Everything's. Oops, I mean everyone's crazy. 4 stars for unpredictability.
