The Good One: Part One (The Happy Endings Resort Series Book 41)



Review: The Good One - Part One - Book #41 Happy Endings Resort Series - Jennifer Sivec - April 2018
Growing up, Olivia and her sister Molly didn't have the best life. They grew up in a trailer park with their mother who was an alcoholic and abuser.  Molly was her savior and always took the brunt of the abuse. The novel then jumps to Olivia at college and meeting her boyfriend, Danny. The pair eventually married, and it looks like Olivia has finally met the man of her dreams and has someone to care for her. That is until Olivia falls pregnant and her memories of her past and her mother's life start to flare up. She starts doubting herself and falling into a depressive state as she is too wrapped up in her mind believing that she is genetically made like her mother. During the book, Olivia is going to a therapist in which we have a constant reflection to Olivia's past and the memory that haunts her the most - the death of her sister Molly.  This was a quick read, and if you are in the mood for something edgy and dark, then The Good One is the book for you.

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.

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...
