Review: Practice Cake - Dayla Moon

Looking for a nice light-hearted novel , one that shows us that sometimes what we believe is the best thing for us ,doesn't always turn out that way ?
Review: Practice Cake - Dalya Moon - October 2011
Meet Maddie Bird , one day a Checkout Operator asking customers "paper or plastic?" and the next day working as a Bakery Assistant at Angelo's. What started off as a new career move ended up being a whole lot of firsts for Maddie.  The first is Drew , her co-worker - he is hot, handsome and can bake . Even though Maddie has a boyfriend already called Parker , she can't help but feel drawn to Drew and starts to wonder whether it is possible to have a love triangle like they do in the movies - think Edward, Bella and Jacob or Peeta, Katniss and Gale.  We read as Maddie struggles to come up with the right decisions regarding her love life with advice coming from her best friend Dave (who's a girl). The next first is another major that could change Maddie's life as the Bakery becomes part of a reality TV show , Can Maddie handle the public pressure or will Maddie start to turn into a Jane from Lauren Conrad's "LA Candy" series ? The major twist at the end of the story is though as we see Drew and Maddie leaving the airport to fly to Australia together , will Maddie leave with her so-called Prince Charming or will she discover last-minute what the real "Drew" is like ?
A fun , light-hearted story about life after High School and the perils of Growing Up and that sometimes making the right decision for yourself can be the hardest choice ever.

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
