All of the Rogers


Review: All of the Rogers - Erin Lockwood - September 2017


For most of Kerri's life, she has been dedicated to dancing and becoming the best and becoming what her Mother wanted to be but missed out on the opportunity. The thing is Kerri doesn't want to be a dancer and injures herself on purpose to stuff up her audition for Julliard. The plan works, and for her senior year, Kerri has a chance to become a normal teenager. With the help of her best friends, she starts to do everything a rebellious teenager does like heading to parties and hooking up with boys - one in particular Roger. Roger has been Kerri's crush for a while now, and the pair starts dating. Thing is though that Roger has some home and personal problems and the relationship starts to become unbalanced. During the book, we can see that Roger heavily relies on Kerri to make him happy. Kerri is getting ready to go to college, and every time she tries to break up with Roger, she finds herself sucked back into his life.  What will happen when Kerri heads off to college and finds herself meeting new people, and she discovers she no longer needs Roger? How will Roger take the news? This book does touch on some edgy issues and features mental health and suicide. After reading this, it did get me thinking as this week featured World Suicide Day on the 10th September. It also gives readers the thought of how far would you go to save someone before you find yourself being pulled down too? All of the Rogers is a coming of age story that touches everyone who has ever had a family or romantic co-dependent relationship.

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
