Begin Again (Again, #1)


Review: Begin Again -Book #1 Again - Mona Kasten - October 2017


Before starting this book, I had been in a bit of a book slump the day before. I had tried three books and could not get into any of them. I remembered the following day that a friend had just read this book and she was enjoying it. I figured I would give it a go. I am glad that I did as I enjoyed it. Begin Again had a few of my favorite things from the creation of new identities to edgy issues and angst to roomies/ enemies to lovers storyline. Allie has just moved to a new college and town, she has completely re-created herself even and wants to start fresh. She is desperate for an apartment and meets Kaden White. He reluctantly agrees, and with a  few rules, the pair becomes roommates. Both have family issues which become clear later on in the book, and I wanted to strangle Allie's mother as I was like what a b____ as she lied to get Allie to come to Thanksgiving. During the book, we read as Allie and Kaden have this love/hate back and forth relationship going on. Normally these type of relationships annoy me, but it worked well for Begin Again. I also liked the group of friends; they were all quite hard-case.  Can Allie and Kaden help each other to grow and start fresh together or will their pride and secrets stand in the way of them moving forward and having a future?
Find out in this awesome book that was able to lift me from my reading slump - Begin Again by Mona Kasten, and I am looking forward to seeing what she brings out next.

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...
