Review: Suddenly You - Book #4 Jane Austen Academy Series - Cecilia Gray - May 2013

One of my favourite things I like to read about is renditions of classic novels and one in particular is the renditions of Jane Austen's fiction. Suddenly You is a modern rendition of Mansfield Park and follows the main character Fanny Suto. Fanny has always wanted to be a track star and one day enter the Olympics. Her over-bearing Asian mother on the other hand wants Fanny to go off to Stanford Medical School and become a Doctor. So when Fanny is offered a scholarship to the Jane Austen Academy, her mother pushes her forward to it. Fanny has a love interest, she is in love with her best friend Tran - one of the only few Asian guys at the Academy and her Mischief and Mayhem partner in crime. When the pair after committing a bit of B&E discover that the Academy may be closing down, they have to do something so Fanny enlists the help of her friends Lizzie - Pride and Prejudice , Anne- Sense and Sensibility , Kat - Northanger Abbey and Emma - Emma along with Henry - Northanger Abbey and Josh Wickham- Pride and Prejudice to help come up with a plan to save the school. What happens though when the plan backfires and Fanny finds herself lost without a scholarship ? Will her friends still stand by her when the going gets tough and even when all is lost - will Fanny discover her true love at the Jane Austen Academy ?
Fans of Jane Austen's books and those who love the modern renditions will love "Suddenly You' by Cecilia Gray.

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
