Review: Thin - Book #19 Escape from Reality Series - Taylor Henderson - November 2018

I was in the mood for an edgier read and a topic that I have always enjoyed reading about is books that contain eating disorders, this could be mainly because when I was in my late tweens to early teens - I developed an eating disorder but kept mine under wraps as I never got too skinny. I was content at keeping my weight around 45kg and never wanted to go over the 50kg mark. As I have gotten older, I am now a bit heavier than I want to be and still watch how much I eat but not with the same mindset.  In Thin, by Taylor Henderson, we meet Becca Calloway whom we learned has been in the hospital trying to treat her eating disorder for the past five months as before this she attended a Wellness camp run called Escape Reality. Those who have read some of the previous Escape from Reality stories will remember the camp and some of the characters' names. During her time at the camp, she managed to fake things until she suffered a heart attack episode and now, she is stuck her and her parents are suing the camp. When Becca gets hit with a dose of reality, she realizes the only way to save the camp is for her parents to not sue and the only way she can convince her parents is to get out of here and put some weight on. Can Becca's determination be the key to her improving her eating disorder? Find out in Thin - Book #19 of the Escape from Reality series.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
