Review : EyeLeash : A Blog Novel by Jess C. Scott - 2009

Have you ever sat and watched a seventeen year old , ok rewind that sounds scary and creepy. Have you ever wondered what goes on in a seventeen year old's mind. Well prepare to be amazed as Jess Scott delves into the mind of seventeen year old Jade Ashton , a sassy and fashionista girl who also happens to still be a virgin which in today's society is quite rare really with the sudden uproar of teen pregnancies and girls as young as 12/13 having children when they are basically children themselves.
EyeLeash is for all those modern chickettes who are technologically with it as the story is written in the form of a blog. In her blog, for her eyes only she rants and raves about fitting in and conforming in a world filled with plastics and materialistic people , superficiality and supreme. She talks about everyday life from parents, friends and so-called friends and of course womanly issues .
When she finally meets a gorgeous guy who plays in a band - a muso Novan all her logic and common sense about guys flies out the window , which we all know happens when we meet a guy and fall in love. They start out as FWB's ( friends with benefits) which is going ever so well , when Novan gets cold feet and backs out .
EyeLeash is filled with rants, raves , IM"s (Instant Messages) , Poems and Songs.
EyeLeash reminds me of a mix between Lauren Myracle's series TTYL etc and the movie/book Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist .
EyeLeash captures self-discovery in the 2000s, and showcases the colorful, intricate drama in two youths' relentless search for themselves--and what's really in their hearts

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
