Normally, I would not rave upon a book this much, but I need to tell the world how wonderfully written Marisa de los Santos novel, Belong to Me is. This book was a whirlwind of emotions. As a reader of many books, this is one of the only books I have read where I can honostly say that every ch
aracter is relatable, every emotion portrayed is felt and every idea is realistic. The characters jump off the page at you, and beg you to realize that you know that person, that you have experienced that situation, in some shape or form. You really feel what the characters feel, you can relate to the love, the uneasiness, the anger, the friendships, the saddness, all of it. I would recommend this book above all others (at this point) to anyone. It is a tale of living and loving, but also of friendships, secrets, betrayals and self-realization. I definately give it two very enthusaistic thumbs up.

Then there is Piper, the stuck-up one you dread to come face to face with, but in the end she finds her true self to be total opposite of that whom she portrays. And the list goes on. The synopsis tells about a big city women trying to make it in the suburbs, finding friends in the least expected places. You take the rollercoaster ride with each of these characters and it opens your heart and warms your spirit to see them triumph over their individual demons. You begin to cheer them on, and get that sense of gratitude and excitment when they succeed. Like I said before, it is impossible not to relate in some way or form to every character in this book, which is what makes it so unique. Never have I been so captured and caught up in a story like I have with this one.
So, do yourself a favor, go to the library or the bookstore and pick up a copy of Belong to Me by Marisa de los Santos, and find yourself caught up in the whirlwind of emotions and characters. You won't be sorry! :)
