All These Things I've Done by Gabrielle Zevin

In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city's most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.'s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until her ex is accidently poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she's to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family. 
Engrossing and suspenseful, All These Things I've Done is an utterly unique, unputdownable read that blends both the familiar and the fantastic.

 Very good and creative book. I like how Anya puts her family before anything and will do anything to protect them. I’m not sure but it seems it’s going to be a series and I am looking forward to reading about what happens next.

 Anya is only sixteen and has more responsibilities than anyone could handle. Not only did her father and mother die at a young age but, now she takes care of her 13 year old sister and older brother who has down syndrome. Her parents weren’t just any old parents either, her mother was a police officer and her father was the mobster. So, because of Anya’s father reputation she is infamous in New York City. Also, this takes place in 2083 and chocolate and caffinee are illegal. Can you imagine that? A world without chocolate?? Even though chocolate is illegal in the U.S., it still isn’t in other countries. Not only is Anya’s family mobsters they have a chocolate business, which they sell to these other countries.

 In the beginning of the book Anya is dating Gabe, who is a complete jerk. All he wants from her is chocolate and sex. But, Anya trying to be the perfect Catholic girl is determined to save it until marriage. He also calls her names and treats her like crap. Finally, Anya has enough and dumps him and of course being the jerk he is, spreads false rumors about her. One day he shows up at her house asking for chocolate and she gives it to him so he'll go away. Well.. little does she know that the chocolate was poisoned and the police is blaming her. It makes it easy to blame her because of her families past. But how can she take care of her dying grandmother and two siblings while she's doing time for something she didn't even do?

 Anya has a habbit of falling for the wrong guys. But, she can't help but fall for charming Win. Who just so happens to be the new assistant D.A.'s son. Of course his father isn't happy about his son dating a girl who's family is in the mafia. It's not that he doesn't like her it's just they cause too much attention to media and it makes him look bad. How far will Win's father go to seprate them? And will Anya chose to protect her family, or her heart?

 Overall very good book. I really like Anya's personality and how interesting her family and past is.
Also, sorry guys I didn't post all last week because I was on vacation and there was no internet access. ):
