Don't Call Me Greta

Review: Don't Call Me Greta - Angie Stanton - April 2021



Lately this past month I have found myself in a bit of a book rut, where I try reading a book and I just can't seem to sink my teeth into it. When I was contacted to read and review Don't Call Me Greta by Angie Stanton. I was so excited as I thought this book will get me out of my reading slump as I had previously enjoyed Angie's books and secondly the whole "Stolen at Birth" is one of my top favorite book tropes out there. The book starts with Piper begging her mum to allow her to go on a campus tour and then the next thing Piper knows her whole life has been turned upside down as the cops storm her house accusing her mother of kidnapping. Piper knows this has to be a big mistake as her mother is the most cautious person and has never stolen anything let alone what they are accusing her of - stealing a baby. As the book goes along, we are presented with a situation that reminded me of the MTV Show Finding Carter where Piper discovers her whole life is a lie and that she should have been growing up as Greta Grout, not Piper Ann Winslow. Piper doesn't want her life to change and so she decides to go on the run with her brother Zach's best friend Finn and escape the idea of going to live with her "birth family". Of course, all things must come to an end. What will happen when Piper is delivered to her "biological family" - will they be open to her or will she find it like living in prison as she dreams of being reunited with Zach and the mum who raised her aka her kidnapper? Find out in this heartbreaking but powerful novel that will tug at your heartstrings as we feel for Piper/Greta having to navigate not only one family but two and starting all over in a life that should have been hers but doesn't feel right?

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
