ASB Book of the Week

PostSecretis an amazing book to browse through.  Imagine the secret you’ve never, ever told anyone.  It’s bottled up inside you.  Perhaps you’d like to release it.  Frank Warren gave many individuals this chance.  He left blank pre-stamped postcards all over–like 10,000 of them–telling the person who picked it up to share a secret and send it to the self-adressed destination.  People haven’t just written down their secrets; many artfully constructed a visual representation of their secret.  This book shares many of the postcards.  This blog, PostSecret continues showing new received postcards.  This edgy book brings out the secret in all of us.

This is the book for those who love the media styled story.  There isn’t a table of contents to this book but rather a table of email addresses.  This list in the beginning of the book tells the reader who will be writing.  And the style of writing varies!  There are actual old style letters sent through snail mail.  Of course there are email messages.  There’s im chatting.  At the end there’s even a playlist. 

Now to the story…Chloe is a senior getting ready to go off to college.  Throughout her entire senior year, she has a written love affair with Julian.  They date, but through letters, emails, chats etc.  They’re trying to figure out how to see each other and when.  They’re also trying to figure out the big question: where to go to college?
