When We Were Young (The Baxter Family, #4)

Review: When We Were Young - Book #4 The Baxter Family Series - Karen Kingsbury - October 2018

Getting back into reading Christian fiction, I find that one of the most inspirational and powerful authors is Karen Kingsbury. I find especially her Baxter family books that they tend to be able to get into those dark crevices of your heart and touch you in a way you never expected. Each book is powerful and shows that with God's love anything is possible and miracles never cease to amaze during this series. When We Were Young has a strong focus on a topic that is so vital in today's world - Social Media. Everyone is putting their lives online for fans, money. Influencer status can earn people up to six figures, just by sharing their daily lives constantly with the world. Free products can be earned, just by showing them on your feeds. For Noah and Emily Carter, they built their lives on Social media and created a brand called When We Were Young about their love, their family, and God.  In the beginning, it was great, but now six years later - the cracks are starting to show and do damage to their marriage as Noah is so invested into the social media life and his fans, he doesn't see the fact it's breaking Emily and ruining his actual life. Emily can't take it anymore and asks Noah to move out. That night, Noah's son Aiden asks God for a miracle to keep his Daddy Home and that night God will pull 'A Christmas Carol" on Noah as he will wake up and find himself in the future over three/four occasions and discover the effects of him leaving on his children's lives, so much it will end in tragic circumstances. Can Noah get back to his reality and find the reasons he fell in love with Emily and be the dad he promised to be to Aiden and Olivia before Social Media took over the Carter's lives? Find out in this Christian version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol - When We Were Young by Karen Kingsbury.

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
