This book sounded so interesting, I was so happy when it lived up to that expectation and brought me in farther than I expected. 

Now if you're regularly here, you know I always enjoy a book that makes me feel very deeply, whether I want to or not. This book was full of ups and downs, and will they won't theys. 

It was such a great read with all the suspense and tension, however, it did start rather slow, and took a while to start up, but it was well worth the wait, because the whole book made me wanna know what happens next, and not I'm reading the second book, in this trilogy.

(See what I did there?)

Love in the Friendzone Review

Love in the Friendzone by Molly E. Lee

The only thing worse than not being able to tell your best friend you’re head over heels in love with him? Having to smile and nod when he enlists your help to ensnare the girl of his dreams.

Braylen didn’t even want to go to Lennon Pryor’s epic graduation-night party, but when Fynn begs her to be his “wingwoman,” she can’t deny him. Talking up her BFF—how he’s magic behind a camera, with a killer sense of humour and eyelashes that frame the most gorgeous blue eyes in the history of forever—is easy. Supporting his efforts to woo someone so completely wrong for him? Not so much.

Fynn knows that grad night is his last shot before leaving for college to find true love. And thanks to Bray, he gets his chance with the beautiful Katy Evans. But over the course of the coolest party of their high school careers, he starts to see that perhaps what he really wants has been in front of him all along. Bray’s been his best friend since kindergarten, though, and he’d rather have her in his life as a friend than not at all.

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains one epic party, complete with every high-schoolers-gone-bad shenanigan, and two best friends whose sexual chemistry is off the charts...if only they’d succumb to it. 

First Thoughts

This book sounded so good I just had to read it! It sounded like such a tragic love story, one-sided love. And when I started reading, I was automatically hooked. Now you know I love books that pull you in so hard, that they make you feel like you're the character, and this is defiantly one of them. So here's my honest review of this book.

Review

This is such an emotional book, from both viewpoints, you could see what Bray thought about something or the way she felt, and then you got to see/understand what Fynn thought or why he did it. Because you get to see both viewpoints it adds another bucket full of emotion, because you can tell what their both feeling and you just want to change it.

The one problem I had was with the character development, their appearances weren't described enough for me to picture them. There were some moments when other characters talked about the hair or eyes of someone else but that was all I got. 

Overall this book is so amazing! It has the emotional rollercoaster, the swoon-worthy moments, and the scream-your-head-off-because-they're-doing-the-wrong-thing-moments. I would defiantly recommend this book.

First Thoughts

I was so excited to read this book because I enjoyed the last book so much. When I started this book I was automatically hooked (mostly because I had to finish it in 2 days) It picked up right where it left off, it didn't have you wondering what happened. So here's my honest review of this book.

Review

So first of, you need to know that this book is an emotional roller coaster. Shannon has you laughing, crying, swooning, and trying to fight the reality of something. Now I did have to finish this book in 2 days, so I was quite rushed but I tried to soak up everything I could. And I have to say it was just an all-around great read.

This book did have a couple of slow parts, but what book doesn't? I wouldn't call it a slow book. I was pleasantly surprised, this book surpassed all of my expectations, I love a book that can make you feel everything the characters are feeling. Shannon went above and beyond that, she had me thinking about the sad parts and trying to wrap my head around the whole thing, as I was there experiencing it with the characters.

Overall this book is one I would defiantly recommend, and I would totally read it again. It has all the ups and downs that don't go unnoticed with me and are greatly appreciated.

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.

My Bad Boy Neighbor Review

My Bad Boy Neighbor by Desirae Clark.

A girl, a boy, and a bet.

Good girl Astrid Ella Bailey, the Oreo-loving school nerd of Evergreen High, has anxiety issues. Like any other nerd, she preferred to bury her nose in her books all day and avoid attention like the plague. She never got into trouble, save for that one time a kid ruined a photo of her best friend… a very dear friend she just lost in a tragic accident.

Bad boy Kai Asher, her high school’s head playboy, is trouble incarnate. Intense, rough, and sexy, he’s the one who makes all the girls swoon. One flirtatious wink and their heart’s bend like clay dough. Oh, the shame when they all break like fragile china.

A bet is made, tempers flare up, and punches are thrown. 

And when the good girl crashes into the bad boy — quite literally, screeching tires and smoking hoods included — the school went wild with intrigue. Astrid was thrown into the spotlight, and extra attention is never good for an almost antisocial nerd.

What was the bet? And why did Kai suddenly appear — in all his half-naked glory — at Astrid’s next door window one day? Can she resist his insane sexual innuendos, or will she lose her sanity? Or what’s left of it, anyway. 

First Thoughts

I was looking through kindle unlimited books when this one caught my eye. It sounded intriguing, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a waste of time, and the book annoyed me soo much, and you're about to find out why. Here is my honest review of this book.

Review

The good thing about this book is that the writing style isn't one of the things that bothered me. The plot was also good, but other than that I don't know what else was good.

The characters in this book were a little underdeveloped, sometimes you didn't understand why they did the things they did. 

SPOILER ALERT: The bet was obviously about her, how did she not figure it out sooner, how did her friend not figure it out sooner, and seriously she runs away from her problems?? Why? Without even talking to her boyfriend and asking if he was in on it, she just ups and runs away. 

There was also a lot of sexist comments and really cliche stuff, that alone made me want to stop reading and forget about it, but for some reason, I continued. I should've stopped. 

I wanted so bad to like this book because it sounded do good, but it just wasn't. It was so predictable and had a terrible ending, if you were planning on reading this, please don't. 

Rating

If you do read this book, it is suitable for YA readers 12 and up.

Bailey and the Bad Boy Review

Bailey and the Bad Boy By R. Linda.

It’s the last day of school, and everyone is excited for the big summer leading up to our senior year. I was too… until my heart was ripped out of my chest.

As if getting dumped wasn’t bad enough, I’m forced to endure the humiliation of witnessing my ex-boyfriend flaunt his new girl — who also happens to be my now ex-best friend — all over town. Double whammy.

Now I’m the pathetic ex-girlfriend left gutted, heartbroken, and nose deep in a bucket of ice cream. I’m doomed to spend the summer sulking over a guy who thought I was predictable and bad in bed. 

So, when I get an offer guaranteeing me some well-deserved payback, of course, I’m going to take it. Besides, the plan is simple. Pretend like I’m dating Ryder, the town’s popular bad boy, and make my ex wallow in a pit of jealousy and regret. It’s perfect.

I mean… what could possibly go wrong?

First Thoughts

When I first saw this book in my BookBub Bargains, I was intrigued. I had read a book similar to this one, called "The Fill-In Boyfriend" and highly enjoyed it. So after I read the summary, I decided the plot sounded captivating, so I got it. I finished this book in 2 days, because I could hardly ever put it down. So this is my honest review.

Review

  The thing I love most is that the author doesn't waste time on this book. She gets right into it and doesn't waste time with the backstory. If you like a book that has backstories on the main characters then this book might not be for you, but I suggest trying it out just in case because the plot is so captivating you might forget about it.

Sometimes you might even forget what you're supposed to be doing, because this book pulls you in all the way, and doesn't let you go until the very end.

However, sometimes the transitions aren't as smooth as they could be. Which may throw you off a little bit, but the book gets back on track in no time. 

This book is written in a way that makes you feel like you're the main character and sometimes has you silently yelling at her to do, or say something.

As you read, reality slowly fades away, and you feel like you're living the life of Bailey. Which wouldn't be so bad if you got to be in a "fake" relationship with Ryder. 

Overall this book has the ability to pull you in for the whole ride, and enough swoon-worthy scenes to make you miss them when the book ends. Come to be captivated in the relationship of Bailey and Ryder.

Rating

This book is great for YA readers who enjoy the ups, downs, and complications of a relationship
