Seeking Jake Ryan (Dear Molly #1)

Review: Seeking Jake Ryan - Book #1 Dear Molly Series - Jessica Bucher and MF Lorson - March 2020


Sloane is about to start her senior year and is excited as she can finally take Media Studies. For years, Sloane has wanted to take this class as she grew up on the good ol' movies especially those set in the 1980s and directed by John Hughes amongst others. Even her name comes from a character her parents loved in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  One of Sloane's favorite movies is Sixteen Candles and this year she has finally met someone who for her resembles Jake Ryan.  Since her mother died, Sloane decides to write to another redheaded icon - Molly Ringwald and all about her new upcoming year and more specifically meeting her Jake Ryan. Sloane's Jake Ryan is none other than Gabe. Gabe has just moved back from being abroad in Europe as his family is broke. Gabe's friends and family though are expecting pre-Europe Gabe but he has changed and now instead of wanting to date the popular cheerleader, he wants someone genuine and in Seeking Jake Ryan, that person is Sloane.  Can Gabe prove to Sloane that he isn't a superficial jerk but someone who cares about her? I did love the ending of this book as of course in the 80s movie, the hero always does some great big gesture to show his love and in Seeking Jake Ryan we have a lovely Sixteen Candles ending.
I am now looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series and now they have also made me want to rewatch some 80s flicks.

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
