My carefully laid out plan has just hit a turbulent wave. Johnny She honestly doesn’t know who I am. I can see it in her gigantic green eyes.

Review: Confessions of a Queen B* - Book #1 The Queen B* Series - Crista McHugh - July 2015 Trawling through my kindle for something to read, I stumbled across Confessions of a Queen B* that has been sitting on my kindle since 2015 and decided I was in the mood for a YA read. This book introduces us to Alexis who is a Queen B* - not the popular Queen Bee which is held by her arch-nemesis Summer but Queen B that rhymes with witch. When Alexis and Summer were in 6th grade, the girls were best friends until Summer betrayed her and read snippets of Alexis's diary in the lunchroom. After that moment, Alexis decided to grow a thicker skin and then use her skills to expose others' secrets especially those who needed bringing down a notch or two aka the popular crowd.

The two are given a doll to look after that represents a real baby...

Review: Piranhas in Pink - Book #1 PIP Series - Nova Knightley - February 2020 When I purchased this book, it was this cover above and called Piranhas in Pink. When I went to add it to Goodreads as read, I noticed they had changed the title and covers. It is now called P is for Perfect and has a different cover. I have to admit I am sharing this one as this is what drew me to the book and I love the title more. Reading this book, also reminded me of the series Pretty Little Liars which I noticed yesterday that the author had added to her blurb that if you love Pretty Little Liars, you will love this book which is so true. Our book starts with Lennox moving to a new town after her parents divorced and her sister Piper died. We learn that Piper had Asperger’s and died due to bullying. Lennox is angry and wants revenge and joins a revenge forum. At her new school, she sought out the popular girls - the ones who were like the bullies who made her sister die. She aims to bring them down and...
