Falling into Place


Review: Falling Into Place - Amy Zhang - September 2014



One of my favorite subjects to read in books is the edgy topic of YA suicide. Falling Into Place wrote this topic amazing that it wasn't sad and, to be honest, it wasn't overdone. The book tells us the story of Liz Emmerson who seemed to have a perfect life but deep down it was anything but perfect. Even her friend's lives have fallen apart with one having an abortion and the other becoming reliant on drugs. In Liz's mind, they will all be better off without her. The thing though that Liz didn't take into account was Liam - the boy who from afar has always loved Liz. Liam was the one to see the crash and called 911 and so Liz was taken to hospital. Though Liz doesn't want to fight anymore. I liked the way that this author wrote this book as everything just felt like it should have. The book jumps to various POVs"s and also moments in time Pre-accident and Post-accident.  If you love teen books like 13 Reasons Why and Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver, then you will love Falling Into Place as though the topic is hard and touchy. Everything about this book just felt right, it's hard to put into words but it is a book that will leave you with a sense of peace despite the heaviness of the story.

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
