Review: How (Not) to Fall in Love - Lisa Brown Roberts - February 2015

Imagine growing up and having a life where everything you ever wanted, you got. A life where you never had to worry about how much money you would have at the end of the week , or how much you could spend on food in order to pay bills but survive at the same time. That was until Darcy's family went a bit crazy and they lost everything . Her Dad, founder of TRIumphant - a self-help company disappeared one day and never returned home , over the next couple of months Darcy and her mum would discover what it would be like to lose everything and have to start fresh and new. At least, they do have someone they can rely on Charlie - her Dad's younger brother whom gets in contact with Darcy. He introduces her to his friends Liz - who owns the coffee shop where Darcy gets a job and Lucas - his employer whose just a bit older than Darcy but of course she has the hots for him. Things aren't going to be in her favour though as Lucas has a girlfriend Heather who is like "model material". With everything going on in her life, including trying to track down her dad with the odd postcard she recieves and keeping her house afloat - Darcy hasn't got anytime to fall in love. In conclusion, though I do believe this title is a bit decieiving as the story isn't exactly focused on teen romances but in Darcy's search for her father and trying to keep her family from falling apart.  If you are wanting a teen novel with realistic aspects , then check out "How (Not) to fall in Love by Lisa Brown Roberts.

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...
