Review: Perfect Little Flaws - Jennifer Ann Shore -  June 2021


After reading and enjoyed Everywhere Always by Jennifer Ann Shore, when I saw Perfect Little Flaws pop up on Booksirens it caught my attention. Like Everywhere Always, the main female character in this book is dealing with grief but this time her older brother Jake has died whilst played a sport he loved so much and was amazing at. For the past two years, Maren has stepped away from the world of soccer and everything to do with it, which has also meant not having anything to do with her Uncle Eric who is the boys' soccer coach at her school. Her family shut down in grief and Maren faded into the background and took up photography and sought solace in her art teacher, whom we later see is a creepy older sleaze as he cared for Maren, more than he should have. She has one more year and then she can leave the grief-stricken home but what will happen when the next rising star in Soccer who is said to rival her brother's abilities Vince Novak turns up at her school. Maren hates him initially with a passion as he reminds her too much of her brother and what he stood for, but as she gets to know the true Vince Novak and his little flaws - it is soon obvious that the pair are made for each other and Vince is the one person who might just be able to help Maren out of her grief fog and stand up to her parents and reconnect with her Uncle Eric. Perfect Little Flaws was a clean YA read and I have to admit a bit of a tearjerker as I don't normally cry in books - it is VERY RARE but the last chapter of this book before the Epilogue made my eyes tear up. If you are looking for a new angsty/ clean YA author to get stuck into, then Jennifer Ann Shore should be added to your reading lists.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
