One of the Girls

Review: One of the Girls - Lucy Clarke - June 2022

One of the Girls by Lucy Clarke had captured my attention as it was supposed to be the hen's party of a lifetime and the best week away for a group of six friends. This Greek holiday though will set life in motion and end in tragedy and change not one but all of the girls' lives as secrets and lies are revealed and unearthed on this hen's week. Lexi never thought she would ever get married, until she met Ed. Her best friend Bree has never liked Ed and for good reason but she loves Lexi, so will go along with the wedding. Along for the hen's party is Bree's girlfriend Fen, Robyn - an old school friend of Bree's and Lexi's, Eleanor - Ed's sister, and then Ana - Lexi's new friend. Each of the girls though has secrets that they want hidden and will find this the weekend, all will be revealed. For Bree - she will finally get the forgiveness she has yearned for since leaving her job as a nurse, Fen - will get payback for that tragic night seven years ago in Greece, Robyn - will finally rediscover her true self and find love, and Eleanor - will finally learn the truth about her husband's death and get her revenge, Ana - will finally get her revenge on the guy who ruined her life and Luca's dad and Lexi - will have to choose of a lifetime to save those she loves dearly, even if it may cost her. This book had a similar feel to the book/ TV series Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. If you enjoyed Liane's book, then you will feel right at home with Lucy Clarke's One of the Girls and it may also leave you dreaming of your own idyllic holiday in Greece- which is on my bucket list.

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
