All Boy

                                                Review: All Boy - Mia Kerick - June 2019

I have to be honest and say I wasn't sure what this book was about when I started reading it as I had agreed to do the tour as the cover looked amazing - yes, I am a cover crusher and judge the occasional book by its cover. All Boy started with the main character Callie attending a new college which is created with the idea for those needing to spend another year at high school before going off to "college". It is a place where you can find yourself and discover your strengths. For Callie, she was humiliated and embarrassed by her ex-boyfriend and needed a fresh start. Callie though an athlete has a big butt and is teased for it. In a way, she reminded me of myself as I have been told that for a white girl - I have a black girl's booty which basically means I have a big bum. Genetics - right, can't live with them, can't live without them. During one of her classes, she meets a guy named Jayden Morrisey. He has captured her attention, though quiet and shy - Callie finds herself falling hard for him. The thing though is that Jayden has a dark secret and if it got out, then he believes Callie wouldn't love him for him. What will happen when Jayden's secret is revealed and Callie feels betrayed and hurt? Can she win back Jayden's love and is he willing for Callie to love him for him or is he stuck in the in-between.  All Boy was an interesting read and I wondered what I would have done if I was in Callie's position and if I would have been as strong and accepting as her in the end. All Boy features a transgender character and their journey from female to male and trying to be accepted by family and friends.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
