Review: Best Friends Forever - Jennifer Weiner - 2010
Are you wanting a novel that almost falls from the normal Chick Lit category and into a mystery ? Jennifer Weiner has fantastically crafted Chick Lit with a hint of mystery in her new novel "Best Friends Forever". The novel starts the night of a 20+yr high school reunion with the characters Valerie and Dan Swansea. Val was a Cheerleader in high school and the girl who Dan Swansea humiliated with lies and rumours. Now years later, she is getting her revenge but all does not go to plan and it all goes to custard - the scene involves a naked Dan and Blood . With nowhere else to turn, Val returns to the home of her childhood friend Addie asking for help.  The two were best friends as young ones and thought that they would be friends forever until in high school when Valerie betrayed Addie and turned her back for the popular crowd instead of her loyal friend.
Can Addie forgive Val for the incident that broke their friendship and when it is discovered that Dan Swansea is in fact missing , the cops get involved and we soon read as Addie and Val do a Thelma and Louise across to Key West as they try and find Dan themselves and evade the law at the same time. Will this road trip be what they need to re-discover themselves and clear the air about what really happened those many moons ago ? Will Addie and Val be able to reclaim the title of Best Friends Forever ?
Find out in Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner.

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.

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
