The Girl in Seat 24B


Review: The Girl in Seat 24B - Jennifer Peel - November 2014

Once upon a time Carly and Michael lived a very romantic life, and their story touched a lot of people as they met on a red-eye flight, and Michael knew she was the girl for him, so much he started a blog called The Girl in Seat 24B as Michael was a journalist and Carly - a photographer. The pair married and had two lovely children, and all seemed to be going well until Michael started to pull away and spend longer at work. One day out of the blue, Michael announces to Carly that he is leaving them - it's me, not you scenario. Carly is blindsided and hurt, and on top of that - how is she going to explain it to her children? As the time goes along, Carly discovers she is pregnant again, but this time it doesn't look like Michael will be around. I admired Carly in this book as she did what any real mother would do - she tried to hold her head high, keep her children in good spirits and to realize she may end up a single mother she restarted her photography and created herself a  nice little business. During this time, she also sought out divorce advice. Will Michael finally step up and take responsibility or will Carly be preparing a new life and no longer being The Girl in Seat 24B? I admired the character of Carly Bishop in this novel and hated Michael as he was a selfish jerk who only cared about his happiness - it seemed like he was doing the age-old mid-life crisis that most men seem to go through during their 40's-50's.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
