Hate Notes (Lakeview Prep #1)

Review: Hate Notes - Book #1 Lakeview Prep Series - Gracie Graham - June 2021



I had been looking forward to reading this book as I love the theme of Cyrano De Bergerac with the fake persona writing to someone and then that person slowly falling in love with the identity you have created, also I love high school novels. In Hate Notes, we meet Penelope Ewe aka P Ewe, and Topher Elliott. Penelope has been the subject of bullying from the school Royals which has Topher at their helm as back in 6th grade he started calling Penelope - P-U due to her name and Skunk Girl. With her scholarship hanging on the balance and being revoked due to budget cuts, Penelope must sign-up as a tutor to help pay towards her tuition as she strikes a deal with the principal. Turns out her worst nightmare is on the list of students - Topher Elliott. While screaming in the bathroom, she finds Topher's number scrawled on the wall and she texts him a "hate note". The scene jumps to Topher now trying to convince not only Penelope but also his mysterious texter Julie that he has changed and not this jerk that everyone thinks he is. As the book goes along, we read as Topher is sick of the popularity facade he is living and he is also falling for Julie who happens to be Penelope. What will happen when Topher discovers that the girl, he thinks he is in love with doesn't actually exist and now he has given his arch-enemy -the ammunition she needs to destroy not only him but also his family? Hate Notes was a fun cutesy Enemies to Lovers YA read with a cover to die for and is a perfect read if you are wanting a light-hearted relaxing YA read. I am now looking forward to the release of Book #2 Fake Notes.

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
