Want to Go Private by Sarah Derer Littman
Pub. Date: August 2011
Summary: When Abby meets Luke online, she can’t believe her luck. He’s nice. He’s
funny. He listens to her and he thinks she’s pretty. He even gets
jealous of other guys, which is adorable. Without Luke, Abby’s not sure
how she’d make it through her first year of high school. Everyone,
including her mom and her best friend, Faith, tells Abby that if she
just made more of an effort, she’d be having fun instead of dreading
each and every day as if it’s a prison sentence. But there’s nothing fun
about being the lowest link in the social food chain. Abby knows she’s
not supposed to chat with random guys online. But Luke isn’t random, and
he isn’t a stranger. Best of all, he really loves her. So what if she
never goes out with her friends anymore and her grades are slipping? All
she needs is Luke. Luke is her secret, and she’s his — it’s perfect
that way. So when Luke suggests that they meet each other in person,
Abby agrees. And then she’s gone. Missing. Without a trace. And everyone
is left to put together the pieces. If they don’t, they’ll never see
Abby again.

Why I chose Want to Go Private: This one sounds gripping and scary. I haven't read a novel with a plot quite like this one, so I'm definitely intrigued. Even the title sounds eerie and fitting. Make sure to leave links, and happy reading!
