I was told so many good things about this book and my expectations were extra high, maybe that's why I couldn't like it as much as I probably would if I haven't heard anything about it. The plot seems amazing, like one of this stories that you want to experience by yourself. I caught myself think...
I fell in love with the book. It's been a while since I read a cathartic book. I didn't realize I was on the last page until I saw the writers' names. I literally ran around the house trying to contain all the feelings both during and after reading. Oh how I wish they would release a second book....
I can't tell you how horrible this book is because I couldn't get past the first couple of chapters. Imagine: finger down the throat.Why do authors so often feel the need to give a main character red hair and make them 'beautiful' as well? Where I live most kids in high school naturally have brow...

I was standing in the middle of the local library when it dawned on me: I was taking the Boy Band to the orthodontist for a quick fix and I'd left my e-reader at home. And the book I was currently reading. tI was about to be cursed with year-old magazines or the endless, wordless showings of some...
The follow up novel to the fun and spunky "Gingerbread" is even better than expected and it succeeds in drawing the reader deeper into the colorful world of teen Cyd Charisse. I would strongly suggest reading the first book to get the full effect of the depth the author has created, after all kno...
Xander was about to leave for a whole new life in the military. His old life was better. Swimming. Surfing. Me. The only way to survive his new life would be to change with him. I’d go away with him and escape boring school, my tyrant father, the ch...
I ask him. “What?” He really doesn’t know. “The kiss. Why did you kiss me like that? In front of everybody.” It’s not that we haven’t kissed in public before. We’ve been kissing and making out a lot (to a degree), and sometimes other people are in the vicinity. If I had my way, I’d clear out Cent...
