Review : Exposure - Therese Fowler

-

Every now and again I get a book to review which is hard to place into a category, today's book I have placed in Teen/YA Fiction but it is the ideal read for the later YA Audience and early Adult readers.  It is a dramatic novel , one that in ways will tear you apart and get you thinking .

Review: Exposure - Therese Fowler - 2011
They say that Love is a madness , it can get us feeling all sorts and to the point where if it is forbidden-the urge to hide it from the world , though of course as we are about to learn in Exposure by Therese Fowler and as we hear in reality - hiding love is not the way to go about things as it always seems to come back and bite you on the bottom and the consequences can range from a little thing to a gigantic thing which will tear lives apart.
In Therese Fowler's novel Exposure , it was just that a tale of Forbidden Love between Amelia and Anthony.  Amelia's father Harlan is strict and forbides her to date but of course that doesn't stop Amelia as we discover in the novel that her and Anthony have been carrying on a secret romance for a while now and the only other person who knows the secret is Anthony's mother and a teacher at their local high school Kim Winter. As they say computers and cellphones can become dangerous things as parent's don't know what go on , it is a case of this as Harlan discovers naked photos of Anthony on his daughter's computer. Outraged at this , Harlan calls in favours from his mates and connections in the Law world and Anthony ends up arrested. What follows next will be a case of Amelia trying to proclaim Anthony's innoncence , a look at her cellphone and computer records as the words "sexting" are brought up in the novel and a forbidden love affair spiralled out of control as Anthony is charged for a crime he didn't commit - the only thing he is guilty of is sharing his love and heart with Amelia. Read as the backlash of the community hit hard on Anthony and his mother Kim . Can Amelia prove his innocence or will she act innocently and take her father's side.
Exposure is like a Romeo and Juliet tale in the modern world of technology - computers and cellphones.
Exposure is the perfect read for those who love Jodi Picoult's , Diane Chamberlain's , Kristin Hannah's and Barbara Delinskey's novels.

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...
