The Best Kept Secret

Review: The Best Kept Secret - Wendi Nunnery - June 2015

If you enjoy high school novels , then this is the read for you as we meet Emma who is entering in with her best friends to tenth grade. When she recieves news that her best friend Andy just had sex behind the bleachers , at this point her heart breaks in two and makes me think of the reaction that Rosie had when her best friend Alex broke the news in the movie Love, Rosie. It seems that everyone is out having sex and that leaves Emma the virgin still.  As the year goes on, secrets become the in-thing and soon Emma feels like she doesn't even know her friends and what is happening in their lives now.  Emma is then asked to the school prom by the most popular guy in their school Deegan Burke and when Emma thinks that having this new status will change her life and be that "wow" moment, she will discover that being on top isn't as glamourous as it seems when you are actually in the "crowd". Soon secrets will start unravelling her perfect life she has created and Emma will discover that the people she thought she knew and loved , cared for - she really doesn't know them at all. The Best Kept Secret is a great teen angst novel where you will discover who your "real true" friends are and often the results will surprise you.  Like most teen angst novels, The Best Kept Secret will send you on an emotional roller-coaster of a ride.

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...
