Other than the fact that this book only took me less than 5 hours to read, I didn't like it very much. For one thing, the characters and the romance story line were terribly cliche. The main male, Cooper, is that hot boy that all girls lust after, and he just so happens to 'fall in love' with the...
Lauren Barnholdt has a thing for befores and afters. And I love them!! (And I have yet to decide if I will give this four or five stars)At first I kept thinking Noah and Hannah kissed, that that was what happened during that night. I was shocked and sort of freaked out when I learned what really ...
I have to admit, I couldn't stand this book. Both the main characters Kelsey and Isaac annoyed me to my limits. I actually pushed myself to finish this book and honestly I found the plot line, characters and setting very bland. Kelsey's attitude and Isaac's cockiness made this book even harder to...
I did quite like this book. That characters were realistic, which was nice.But it felt very cliche. It had teen parties and drugs and alcohol and boy problems.I didn't like Cooper at all, even though he liked her all along and all that rubbish. I wouldn't have gotten back together with him like E...
I really enjoyed this book. I felt that it was fast paced, that it went straight to the point of what was happening. Basically what the book is about is a girl named Hannah has just broken up with her boyfriend on the last day of their junior year. So Hannah is a wreck, then 3 days later her bes...
Why do decent plots get wasted on horrible books? Why do I continue to subject myself to awkward writing? Why does goodreads give basic books good ratings???Once again I was very disappointed in a Lauren Barnholdt book. The title sounds somewhat promising, the cover not so bad, but the book? The ...
Shannon Card está en el último año de instituto, a punto de graduarse con unas notas excelentes, especialmente en matemáticas, y ya ha sido aceptada por la universidad de sus sueños: Wellesley. Sin embargo, la situación económica de sus padres no es óptima y pagar la matrícula del primer curso pa...
I discovered this because I was on a Barnholdt roll. I reread Two-Way Street a few nights ago and I missed it so much that I read Right of Way and then The Thing About the Truth and then I was on Lauren's website then I saw the download link to this! (Or I think that was on her facebook) Anyway. ...
I'm sorry to see this series come to an end. Again, they are more like chapters (maybe it's a serial novel a la Dickens or Stephen King?) than books, but they are super cute, and cheap on the Nook, unfortunately I didn't figure out til after the second one that you can buy them all together, but...
It's more of a 1.5 star actually...A glimpse, a moment, that's how it feels. Like a back story in the middle of a good book, a chapter even.You can't really blame it, the shortness of the story is its weakness, not being able to explore or build enough to make an impression. It couldn't have made...

I highly reccomend this book, however you should read the book that c...
this book is about a girl named Samantha whose in love with one of her best friends Sam also does a business that you must put a dollar and a note in her locker and she will pass it on to the person. but, when an arrival secret passing group comes they take away her crush her secrets then when sh...
While this wouldn't have gotten a five star rating from me personally, I'm bumping it up to five because my nine year old daughter, (who's actually in the target audience) loves this book. It's one of her favorites.And I can see why she enjoyed it. It's very cute and fun, and the mystery is well ...
Mom says karma always comes around to get you, and I guess it's true. Because last summer I was a total liar, and now, right in the middle of Mr. Pritchard's third-period math class, my whole world is about to come crashing down. That's because while Devon was living with her grandmother for the...
I’m crying about everything. About Derrick, about Beckett, about myself. About this dumb wasted trip that I spent so much time looking forward to. About how stupid I was to listen to anything Beckett had to say, about how wrong I could be about my feelings. I was going to have sex with Derrick! I...
Perfect, sparkly, beautiful shoes! Just like Dorothy from this one movie I know called The Wizard of Oz. Only that girl Dorothy’s shoes are red. And mine are going to be pink, pink, pink! “Oh,” the saleslady says when she sees me. “You again.” She does not look too happy t...
I knew that as soon as I did it. It’s just that she’d been sitting there looking so adorable, trying to open that damn package of crackers. How could opening a package of crackers look cute? It made no sense. But it was more than that. Not only is she cute, but let’s face it, she is also hot. And...
I reach up and touch my necklace, making sure it‘s still there. It is, but the chain must have weakened, because the necklace breaks in my hand, and the charm falls onto the pavement. Aiden leaps for it, picking it up and handing it to me wordlessly. ―Thanks.‖ I wrap my hand around the white ston...
The early light of morning is seeping through the windshield, illuminating her face. When she woke up this morning, she spent some time in the bathroom using the pancake makeup, and her face looks a lot better. ―No,‖ I say, sick of al the time we‘ve wasted stopping for things. ―We‘re going to fin...
Now that this whole thing is so close to being done with, I’m starting to get paranoid that maybe something is going to go wrong. No, I tell myself. It’s going to be fine. Just relax. “So are you going to tell me what the hell is going on?” Adrianna asks. Her hands are tig...
My mom is asleep in her room, and when I checked on her, she stirred a bit, but then rolled over and nodded right back off, her breathing heavy and deep. I’m not sure what kind of spell Reed put on her, but she seems to be okay, at least physically. She’ll probably sleep for a few more hours. The...
My mind‘s racing with all kinds of different thoughts, and none of them are good. Why the hell did she lie to me about going to lunch with Adrianna after the game? I‘m sure when I ask her, she‘ll probably have all kinds of excuses. But they won‘t real y be excuses. They‘ll be lies. Natalia is a l...
Amber asks the next afternoon. It’s Friday, the day of my game, and we’re in my room. She’s sitting on my bed, painting her nails blue to match mine. Hello, blue nail polish is never a good idea, I know, but tonight’s the one exception, since it’s one of the school colors. I wanted to do half-blu...
My dad makes us some delicious breakfast sausages on the grill. And my mom makes us all scrambled eggs. And we sit around the picnic table and eat those eggs and spicy sausages right up! “I think,” I tell Addie, “that we should put orange sauce on our eggs!” And I make some up before my mom can s...
Lancaster looks at me and then Brody, changing two lockers down from me. “What the hell’s up with you two?” Lancaster asks, pulling on his Burberry Polo shirt. “Was I that drunk on Friday night that I totally missed you guys hating each other?” I want to tell him that this has been going on for w...
It really isn’t. I mean, let’s face it. I have a chance of failing anyway, and Brandon really doesn’t deserve to fail. In fact, it feels kind of noble, standing up and sacrificing myself for the cause. It’s like I’m in the last scene of a movie, where I’ve done something to prevent an injustice, ...
She just poofs right up while we are having free art in room four. “Where have you been?” I ask her. “I have been very worried about you, like maybe Mr. Tuttle took you away!” “What do you mean, where have I been?” Antonio asks. “I have been right h...
I’m in full-on damage-control mode now, and I need to make up with them. I mean, what the hell was I thinking, blowing them off for some guy? It’s completely humiliating and totally against every girl code in the book. I almost threw away my friendships, my future, everything for some guy I didn’...
Then I slide myself backwards through the window, legs first. It‘s a tight squeeze, and I start to fall , catching myself at the last second. But I‘m in. ―Graceful,‖ Raine says sarcastically y. ―Shut up,‖ I say, brushing myself off. I‘m careful not to make eye contact with her, just in case she g...
