Review: Nobody But Us - Kristin Halbrook - January 2013

Looking for an edgy teen novel ? Check out Nobody But Us by Kristin Halbrook. Nobody But Us takes us into the world of Will and Zoe. Will has been in foster care since he was little when he was neglected by his mother who was a drug user and has just turned eighteen and been kicked out of his foster home as now the State won't pay for him. Zoe is his girlfriend, she is only fifteen but has lived a hard life with an abusive drunk father who is possessive and controlling of her. Will and Zoe decide to escape life and run away together . However, as their journey goes along we read as Zoe and Will come up against some obstacles and some of them more complicated than others . What will happen though when they are alerted as runaways and the FBI come close on their heels ? This is quite a powerful novel and the ending reminded me of the movie starring Dean Cain, Luke Wilson and Drew Barrymore - "Best Men" especially with the ending of this novel. If you love reading edgy teen novels then this is a book for you.

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...
