Foreign Exchange Denise Jaden Books

Jamie and Tristan are best friends. Except... Tristan's not really a good friend. Jetting off to a foreign exchange program with only the rules "do not go near my brother", Jamie is left worrying. Worrying about the strange, short emails her best friend is giving her. Worrying about the shady information that the foreign exchange brochure is giving her... And worrying about her new feelings for Tristan's brother.

Starting the book, I wasn't 100 percent sure where it was going to go. I knew from point one something was off about Tristan, and I was surprised by the end, even if I had my guesses. Denise Jaden has a great way of telling a story, and keeping you reading. I read until my eyes were crossed, then closed my eyes, readjusted, and kept going. If you want a great page turner, I highly suggest you pick this up or any one of her other books!

Foreign Exchange Denise Jaden Books Reviews

Wow! What a ride!

The story opens up to Jamie saying bye to her best friend. Tristan is going to Europe as a Foreign Exchange Student. That's what everyone believes. Their main goal is to find Tristan's dad who's going to be at a conference. Jamie is to leave on a class trip to Spain.

Everything seems to be going ok, then things start happening that question Tristan's real intentions. Then there's Sawyer, Tristan's brother whom is off limits. She doesn't want Jamie anywhere near him. But Jamie doesn't quite understand this. She drawn to Sawyer like a moth to a flame.

When they realize that something isn't right with Tristan. They use the class trip to Spain to find her.

This book had me so nervous, I couldn't wait to turn the page. Denise Jaden is an excellent writer. If you have the ability in evoke emotion of any kind. Be it crying or just your heart racing cause you're so nervous. Then that's writing is all about.....Lissa

I want to thank the author for letting me read this thrilling story and I can't wait to read more from her.
Probably my favourite thing about this book is the characters and how they interacted. I thought Denise Jaden did a good job of creating layered characters who had shades of grey to them, just like real people. Our main character is Jamie, an all around girl next door type. However Jamie has had a pretty tough life, having to look after her little brother constantly and having a mom who doesn’t make it easy on her.

The secondary characters in Foreign Exchange were also very interesting. I liked that Sawyer had hidden depths and he wasn't what people thought he was. There’s this idea we have, both in fiction and real life, that if you're a Popular Beautiful Person then you must automatically be a completely horrible person too. Of course this isn’t true, and this stereotype is completely proven false by his character. Tristan, Jamie’s best friend and Sawyer’s sister, is definitely capital-T Trouble. She’s a total control freak and is seemingly a compulsive liar, something which Jamie is just figuring out. Things are never what you think they are with Tristan, and it makes for an interesting mystery to unravel.

This book has a lot of good elements, but I think what I enjoyed most was seeing Jamie coming into her own and out of Tristan's shadow, making her own decisions and getting away from that toxic friendship. Jamie does make some pretty sketchy decisions, but I didn’t find them entirely unbelievable. I could see someone who's a little desperate and naive going along that same path. On the romance side of things, I definitely dug Jamie/Sawyer. Romance isn’t the primary focus of the story, but it does make up a nice part of it. I liked seeing these two truly get to know one another.

Overall I definitely liked this book. I didn’t completely fall into the story, but it did provide an enjoyable reading experience, and I’d recommend it.
I love books that take place in other countries so I was really looking forward to reading Foreign Exchange by Denise Jaden.

The international travel didn’t start until later in the book, close to the halfway mark. But it still worked for me because there had to be some time for the romance to slowly develop, and for the mystery aspect of it to piece together. I found myself totally sucked into the story and wondering where the mystery aspect of it would go.

Jamie was a pretty great character. She felt pretty real to me and I loved how she cared for her severely disabled brother. I saw her frustration with her mom and brother so well but also felt how much she loved them. And her best friend Tristan. Right away I knew Tristan had to have kept some serious secrets from her, but the mystery is, what is she doing in Europe and is she safe? Jamie and her Tristans brother, Sawyer, are brought closer together with Tristan gone. They can now communicate without Tristan getting jealous. That bit right there just made me not like Tristan at all. I wanted Jamie to discover that Tristan was a total crazy b*tch. But like always, there’s more to the story.

I liked how things developed pretty slowly. But at the same time it somehow felt fast. These two have known each other for years but I had to remind myself of that because they really never were able to talk or hang out. So when things started happening it almost felt weird. But later in the book I realized some things and found that it all worked perfectly.

I will mention that I liked Sawyer just fine. But I never felt like I fully knew him. Which was weird. I felt like he was in the picture quite a lot. So I think maybe it would have benefited from having his POV in some chapters. But not a big negative.

The international travel aspect was really great. It was very fast as they are on the move the whole time with no time to really site see. But the few minutes they were able to stop and breathe and take in the sites, I really felt it.

The ending is very intense. I did plenty of inner screaming of ‘No, don’t DO that, use your brain!!!!’ but it was done well. While all decision weren’t smart, they were ones I understand a teenage girl would make. There is a very good message here that not everything is safe and especially when you go out of the country without your parents. If you tell people you put a mark on your back. It was a really great message that I think every teenage girl could use the reminder of.

I highly recommend this one! I had a very hard time putting it down!
