Review: Penelope - Rebecca Harrington - August 2012
Are you sick of reading books about where the college students head off to College and are perfect and fall in love with hunky guys and all is merry with them as they skip along their ways ? Then you need to read Penelope which stars Penelope, a normal Plain Jane type of girl who is somewhat of a loner and doesn't know exactly what she wants from her life. Penelope follows well... Penelope through her freshman year of college at Harvard where she meets her roommates, gets hit on by several guys including her TA Jason , experiences friendships and several fleeting moments of hook-ups and dancing . We follow Penelope as she tries to find a clique from Chorus to the Literary Magazine to starring in a theatre production as a Guard. From Parties to Ice-Cream Socials to Classes to Exams and Harvard-Yale Football games. Penelope has it all. This is the book that really shows the college experience from a 'normal' person's point of view.

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
