Just In Case



Review: Just In Case - Chrissie Manby - May 2014

Clare and Rosie Marwood grew up as the type of identical twins whose mother dressed them together, but as they got older, they went down separate tracks and had completely different styles and personalities. Clare was the business type and successful one who thrived on job security and looking professional. Rosie, on the other hand, had a robust, colorful character and always loved to be the life of the party. She didn't own a single colored outfit or sensible attire. Rosie was the free-spirit and had a dress sense which resembled Boho. When their mother gets a good deal on luggage, she gets them matching luggage as it's not like they spend enough time with each other and would get them ever muddled up. Of course, though that's just what happens when Clare arrives at her conference with Rosie's bright colored outfits and Rosie turns up in Tuscany at her friend's wedding with Clare's suitcase. Now the girls must find a way to wear the other's clothes during the week. What I loved about this book is that they ended up embracing it and adding their flairs and personalities to the outfits. Just in Case also showed readers that the power of an outfit can have a positive effect on the wearer and may even spark a few romances. Just in Case was a fun, quick chick-lit novella.

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...
