Girls Who Lie Together

#VBT - Girls Who Lie Together - Jessa Russo - August 2022

To start with, this book I went and grabbed as I love the cover and it sounded like a fun read and it grabbed my attention with the tagline that read Grease meets Mean Girls. For me, this book was all Grease and yes it did have a mean girl queen bee vibe but was not Mean Girls movie style for me. If Regina George had been a bisexual and had feelings for Cady and then continued to cheat with Eric and Cady, then yes go ahead and compare to Mean Girls. This book starts with the summer break and Ren after wrecking her stepfather's car has been sentenced to community service in the form of building houses with her stepfather's old friend. When she arrives, she learns that her stepfather's friend's niece has also come to stay with them and help build houses and do chores just like Ren. Brit is the pageant type - blonde barbie doll whereas Ren strikes me as an Emo chick personality. As the summer goes along, we learn that Ren is a lesbian and we can see hints of possibly Brit being interested. The summer comes to an end too quickly and the girls return to their normal lives. That is until Ren starts a new school and is surprised to see Brit is the Queen B and rhymes with Witch. This isn't the Brit she fell in love with over the summer. This is where the book took a Grease feel for me as we have our Danny and Sandy moments with Ren and Brit. I am not one for cheating really, so this part annoyed me as Brit is dating not only her boyfriend but starts seeing Ren in the dark. What happens though when the two worlds collide and they can no longer keep it a secret? Find out in this angsty YA f/f / m/f novel "Girls Who Lie Together by Jessa Russo.

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
