Points of Departure

Review: Points of Departure - Emily O'Beirne - June 2016

As a fan of travel and backpacking type novels as I personally have always wanted to give it a go and I have done an OE sort of trip around America which I loved and am headed back there next year, I have loved reading about them and one of my favourite places to read about is Europe as that is on my bucket list to visit - one day. In this book we meet five friends who are all connected by one female in particular - Kit. Kit was supposed to come on holiday with them as it's their last trip of freedom before university but of course , things have gone south for Kit once again and she has had to bail. Kit was going to be the glue of the trip for the girls. Now the girls must team up together and work in harmony in order to have an amazing trip away. We have Liza - who is trying her best to come out of the closet and sees this trip as a chance to find her true self , Mai - who is finally free of her strict parents and sees this trip as a freedom ride to drink, party and sleep with whomever she wants to, Tam - Kit's cousin has been busy looking after her dad and their farm after he was diagnosed of Cancer - this trip is for Tam to go out and spread her wings and do something for her as we read Tam's adventures in the culinary sector throughout her trip and Olivia - who needs this trip to figure out who she is and what she wants to do with her life after bombing her exams and stuffing up her three-five year plan in life.  Points of Departure was not just a travel romance tale but a story of friendships and discovering who you truly are away from the pressures of family, life and your future . The other thing which is awesome about travelling in groups is that it is always a way to which you can make friendships who will stay with you forever and become lifelong buddies.

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...
