Review: Present Perfect - Book #1 Perfect Series - Alison G. Bailey - August 2013

Have you ever had that best friend who happens to be a guy and had a friendship so strong you didn't want to risk doing anything that could ruin it , but in the process of that you pushed that friend away and it hurt so bad. For Amanda Kelly, that best friend was Noah. As they got older, her feelings for him changed into more and scared that if she told him it would ruin everything and no longer be the perfect world that she has striven for to achieve all her life, she never told him. As the story goes on we read the back and forth banter between Noah and Amanda. We read as when others come back into their lives - they start dating and their friendship is pulled apart , to the point where they no longer communicate. Can Noah eventually be able to show Amanda that they are the perfect ones for each other and that they will be able to work as a relationship without their friendship falling apart ?
What I loved about this book is that it shows the reader, that no matter what your present life is like that in order to be happy and live a wonderful life, you have to let things go with the flow as too much trying to make things perfect will hinder your future path and end up ruining things and turning things to worst case scenario.
Present Perfect is the "present perfect" read for all those teen girls who have tried to control and navigate their lives to the "T" and to let them know that sometimes it is alright to "hang loose and ride the waves of life".

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...
