The Queen B* Stikes Back Review

The Queen B* Strikes Back by Crista McHugh

Alexis Wyndham isn’t quite sure what to think about her “friendship” with the star quarterback, Brett Pederson.

Sure, he has more intelligence than the entire football team combined. Not to mention that fact he’s a great kisser. 

When he asks her to help him with his college admission essays, she isn’t sure if he’s doing it to spend more time with her or if he’s just using her for her brains. 

But after her nemesis, Summer Hoyt makes it clear she’s not finished chasing after Brett, Alexis begins to realize how hard she’s fallen for Brett. Now the war is on, and the head cheerleader will find out why she should never take on a Queen B*.

First Thoughts

When I finished reading the first book, I knew I had to read the rest of the series. When you first start reading this book, it instantly grabs your attention. Within the first chapter, there is an awkward part that makes you feel like you're right in the middle of it, it's awesome! So here's my honest review of this book.

Review

So this book as I said grabs your attention from the very beginning, which means it doesn't have a slow start! It starts off with some witty banter on Brett's side aimed at Alexis. All throughout the book, you are screaming at Alexis to just take a chance, but part of the fun is settling down an seeing thing from her perspective.

There are also parts of the book where Alexis lets her walls down, and it makes you so happy, but as quickly as they were down they're back up. At that point is where you lose hope for Brett and Alexis, but if you just keep your hope you won't be disappointed, or will you? You'll have to read to find out.

Overall this book is one of the best I've read in a while. I would definitely recommend this book/series to my friends.

The Heartbreak Cure Review

The Heartbreak Cure by Amanda Ashby

How to get over a heartbreak:

Step one: Eat your body weight in brownies.

Step two: Throw yourself into your dreams of becoming a famous writer.

Step three: Beg your (hottie) ex-neighbour to act as your fake boyfriend.

Step four: Skip step three unless you’re ready for some serious fallout.

After being dumped and humiliated over the summer, Cat Turner does what any sane girl would do. She asks bad boy Alex Locke to be her fake boyfriend and show the world (and her editor at the school newspaper) that she's fine. Problem is, the more time she spends with Alex, the more she risks getting her heart broken. For real this time.

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains a swoony bad boy who will melt your heart, brownies, and witty banter. One, two, or all three might prove addictive…

First Thoughts

I was looking for a new book to read, and my mom suggested I looked at the Entangled Teen Crush website. They have so many interesting books on there, and this one caught my eye. It's basically like all the other books I read, and the story is just the same, it's not one I'll remember in a couple of months. So here's my honest review of this book.

Review

So let's start with the writing style, it was actually written pretty well in making you believe/imagine you are the main character, and sometimes it had me just skimming through the page because it was full of useless information. The characters, they kind of annoyed me, with how they sometimes acted or what they sometimes said. 

Now there could've been more swoon-worthy moments, and they could've been executed better, but that's just my opinion. 
SPOILER ALERT: Is anyone gonna talk about the fact that they're "best friends" who don't even really talk, and then they get together. I mean come on that's gonna be so awkward when/if they break up.

 Overall this book is well written, even though the characters do some annoying things it's a good read. But I wouldn't read it again.

All The Broken Pieces Review

All The Broken Pieces by Cindi Madsen

What if your life wasn’t your own?

Liv comes out of a coma with no memory of her past and two distinct, warring voices inside her head. Nothing, not even her reflection, seems familiar. 

As she stumbles through her junior year, the voices get louder, insisting she pleases the popular group while simultaneously despising them. 

But when Liv starts hanging around with Spencer, whose own mysterious past also has him on the fringe, life feels complete for the first time in, well, as long as she can remember.

Liv knows the details of the car accident that put her in the coma, but as the voices invade her dreams, and her dreams start feeling like memories, she and Spencer seek out answers. 

Yet the deeper they dig, the fewer things make sense. Can Liv rebuild the pieces of her broken past, when it means questioning not just who she is, but what she is?

First Thoughts

When I first started reading this I was so confused, but as it continued I started to understand it more. This is the kind of book you have to take everything in with, for example, you have to analyze the cover of the book, you have to make assumptions while you read it, and you have to really think about what you already know and what you're learning. So here's my honest review of this book.

Review

This book starts off very slow, for about the first four chapters. This is because it's the same three characters, having the same arguments/problems. The book doesn't really start up until she gets to school, then you get to read about all the anxiety she goes through and the challenges.

And then after that, its the same fight between the two voices in her head. Not until Spencer comes along does the book start to get interesting, because then it's a different battle she's fighting, she's fighting with Spencer and his moods. Which at times can be annoying and funny.

Overall this book has some good attributes, the relationship Spencer and Liv develop is nice, and the relationship she tries to maintain with her parents. But this book is quite slow, the thing that kept me going was I HAD to figure out if I was right about the "mystery."

The Rules of Persuasion Review

The Rules of Persuasion by Amity Hope

1) Take things slow (her rule)

2) Make it believable (his rule)

After tragedy hit her family, Meg Matthews officially crossed the line from “good girl” to “bad girl.” Motorcycle? Check. Graffiti? Check. The only thing Meg hadn’t planned on was blackmail. Too bad now a certain infuriating boy holds Meg’s future in his hands…

When Luke Prescott—star pitcher and town golden boy—catches Meg vandalizing the school, she’s given two choices: face the consequences or enter into a fake relationship with him to get his parents and his ex off his back.

But as Meg and Luke grow closer, they both realize they’ve been keeping secrets from each other. Their fake relationship might be doomed from the start—if they can’t learn to open up to the one person they never thought they’d trust.

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains late-night graffiti sessions, flirty baseball lessons, and a never-ending list of relationship rules just made to be broken.

First Thoughts

When I was on the Entangled Teen Crush website, this book caught my eye. I was so excited to read it because it looked like a book I could get lost in for a while. Unfortunately, the book starts off a bit slow but soon recovers, and has you reading day and night. This book gets you all in your feels and breaks your heart at points. Here's my honest review of this book.

Review

So yes, this book has a slow start, but because it's the back story of Meg, I'd say its necessary. After that moment of the book is over, it gets right into the drama that we all crave.

Even though the "swoony" scenes are limited and under narrated, the book still gets you in all your feels and will hold on to them through the thick and think of this book. Even though you may understand why Meg does some of the stuff she does, it doesn't stop you from asking her...

Overall this book is the one to read, for the way it captures your attention (after the slow beginning) and the way it makes you feel like you're Meg. This book has all the ups and the dreadful downs, that we may not always love but continue reading through.

Confessions of A Queen B* Review

Confessions of A Queen B* by Crista McHugh.

Alexis Wyndham is the other type of Queen B—the Queen Bitch.

After years of being the subject of ridicule, she revels in her ability to make the in-crowd cower via the exposés on her blog, The Eastline Spy. Now that she's carved out her place in the high school hierarchy, she uses her position to help the unpopular kids walking the hallways.

Saving a freshman from bullies? Check.

Swapping insults with the head cheerleader? Check.

Falling for the star quarterback? So not a part of her plan.

But when Brett offers to help her solve the mystery of who’s posting X-rated videos from the girls’ locker room, she’ll have to swallow her pride and learn to see past the high school stereotypes she’s never questioned—until now.

First Thoughts 

My mom actually found this book on Kindle Unlimited, and though I might like it. Great job again mom! When I first read the summary, it sounded awesome. When I started reading I was kind of disappointed, it was slow. and it took me a couple of days to get through the slow part because I didn't want to read slowness if that makes sense. So here's my honest opinion of this book.

Review

Ok, so yes this book starts off slow, with not much action, but if you just sit down determined to get through it, you could do it in about an hour. (depending on how fast you read) Once you get past the slow part, the book is amazing! 

You really get to know the characters and relate to them. You can really grasp the anxiety that Alexis has, even though you're sometimes screaming at her to 'go for it' you understand why she doesn't, and why she holds back.

The relationship she has with her friends, and how she even holds back from them a bit, is amazingly portrayed! Alexis is such a developed character, that you can relate to her a lot in this book, and sometimes it even feels like you ARE her as you're reading. 

Overall this book is the kind you can get lost in, very easily. On a rainy day (or any day) wrapped up in a blanket, with a hot cup of tea, or hot chocolate, this is the book you would read.

Rating

This book is suitable for YA readers over the age of 12, who relate to the anxieties and love the ups and downs of relationships
