Review: Welcome to Beantown - Elle Vanzadt and P.Marie
Review: Welcome to Beantown - Book #1 Boston Belles Series - Elle Vanzandt and P.Marie - 2016
As I am a fan of college
fiction and friendship stories as soon as I saw this book Welcome to Beantown,
I knew I had to read it. In it, we meet
three girls who are all ready for adventure and headed off to college. Each
girl comes from a very different background but will find themselves drawn to
one another and become great and amazing friends Despite their personalities being all very individual. We have Gianna, who is Italian Boston and comes across
a bit like the Rizzoli family from Rizzoli and Isles, that Italian meets
American family. There is just Gianna, her mom,
brother, and Nana living under the one
roof. Sloane is a country girl and has come across the map to Boston to study
with the encouragement from her older sisters. She has a close-knit family
situation with Mum, Dad, and two sisters
all working on the family ranch. Then we have Alexis whose father is a Senator
and her mother is a Socialite/Trophy Wife. Her parent's due to their busy
schedules tend to neglect her. Welcome to Beantown follows the girls first year
at college as we read through their family interactions, watch their
friendships grow, relationships flourish
in both positive and negative ways. It wasn't till the very last few lines in
this book that I discovered it wouldn't be
standalone as it ended on a major cliffhanger which had my heart
pounding and it has set the premise that book #2 will be a romantic suspense
type tale. I think it is also important to let readers know that despite
all the happiness of friendship and families in this book, it does have a dark
side as one of the girls ends up in an abusive and controlling relationship and
it could be a trigger point for some
readers. I am now looking forward to reading Book #2 and finding out and hoping
with crossed fingers that things will turn out for the best and not the worst
as the cliffhanger hints at. If you love
friendship stories and Edgy New Adult College fiction, then Welcome to Beantown
is the read for you.
