The Accidental Socialite

Review: The Accidental Socialite - Stephanie Wahlstrom - April 2014

Paige Crawford wanted a change in life , so one day she decided to move from the comforts of Canada to London, UK and little did she know within a couple of days of being in London her life was going to change dramatically and drastically as well. All because of one clumsy incident , Paige finds herself sky-rocketing from being a nobody and anonymous to becoming one of the most sought after socialites in London. Everyone wants a piece of Paige from the Paparazzi which is really starting to put a damper on her life as they follow and record her every move - even the unfortunate farting during Yoga incident to showing up when she is on a date. Turns out though you get all the glamour, freebies and invites -not to mention celebrity outings and being on a first-name basis, being in the limelight isn't all it is cracked up to be as Paige will also learn what it's like to be used, hated and even judged all in the name of a story spun out of out context. 
A few lessons that The Accidental Socialite teaches readers is :
A) Always look your best as you never know who might be around
B) Fame and Fortune isn't all it is cracked up to be 
C) Never Believe everything you read in newspapers, magazines and tabloids.
 The Accidental Socialite was a fun and light-hearted read which reminded me of the film "The Princess Diaries" , "The Lizzie McGuire Movie" crossed with "Monte Carlo".

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
