The Weight of the Sky


#VBT - The Weight of the Sky - Caroline Schley - April 2021



Chris has always had the brains as her single mother had drilled her into becoming a doctor as she ended up stopping her dream and becoming a single mother and now works as a nurse. Chris comes from a poorer neighborhood but has the brains to become something better and her friends know it which we see one of her best neighborhood friends being arrested for drugs. The book then jumps to Chris starting a new school - an elite private school called St Catherines as she has won a scholarship. When she arrives, she meets an amazing group of friends and soon is thrust into the world of popularity as her new friends are stunning, rich, and Instagram famous. As the book travels along, Chris starts to experience parties and romance while rubbing with the arms of the elite and soon she captures the attention of Caldwell. However the book takes a turn as at a party, she ends up being raped and when she tries to tell someone who she thought was her friend, she feels ostracised as people start acting as she asked for it. During the second half of the book, we read as Chris's life starts to change as she becomes withdrawn, her grades start to drop and life doesn't seem worth living. Can a new friend Perry hold the spark that Chris needs as she learns to be happy again by helping at a new volunteer center and finally speaking up about the truth?

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.

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
