Confessions of a Queen B* (The Queen B*, #1)


Review: Confessions of a Queen B* - Book #1 The Queen B* Series - Crista McHugh - July 2015

Trawling through my kindle for something to read, I stumbled across Confessions of a Queen B* that has been sitting on my kindle since 2015 and decided I was in the mood for a YA read. This book introduces us to Alexis who is a Queen B* - not the popular Queen Bee which is held by her arch-nemesis Summer but Queen B that rhymes with witch. When Alexis and Summer were in 6th grade, the girls were best friends until Summer betrayed her and read snippets of Alexis's diary in the lunchroom. After that moment, Alexis decided to grow a thicker skin and then use her skills to expose others' secrets especially those who needed bringing down a notch or two aka the popular crowd. When she is paired for a class project in Life Skills, she is partnered with Brett who happens to be Summer's current boyfriend or so everyone thinks. The two are given a doll to look after that represents a real baby and you will need to feed it, burp, and change its diaper. As Brett and Alexis spend time together, Alexis’s icy exterior starts to melt as Brett brings out the happiness in her, something she has tried so hard to hide all these years. Meanwhile, on a side note, we read as Brett joins forces with Alexis to find out who is filming in the girls' locker rooms. I liked this book but felt a bit disappointed as in the end it felt like to me that Alexis was to be a side aka secret girlfriend and the book suddenly finished in a cliffhanger but not ending. Overall, despite a few parts - I would consider this YA read to be a borderline clean teen read.

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...
