Review: Better Off Friends ..

Basically I was beyond thrilled to get the opportunity to read this book. I’ve been a fan of Elizabeth Eulberg since I read The Lonely Hearts Club(I just reread it!) a few years back. I enjoyed her writing style and her storytelling ability. So when I saw she had a book coming out with my all-time favorite plot I was over the moon. And I’m happy to report that she lived up to my expectations. Better Off Friends was exactly what I expected to get from a Eulberg story and I’m so happy to have read it. Better Off Friends […]

Review: Don’t Even Think..

I’ve been a huge fan of Sarah Mlynowski for a really long time. I was first introduced to her with her ‘chick lit’ book Milkrun. I don’t know if it was because it took place in Boston or the age I was when I read it, but I was instantly hooked. I have since read her other ‘chick lit’ books and her YA books and reality enjoyed them. So basically I was beyond thrilled when I saw this and even more so when I got an advanced copy. Sad to say though, Don’t Even Think About It just didn’t do […]

Review: The Edge of Falling &#..

First and foremost I’m a huge, huge, huge fan of Rebecca Serle’s other novel, her debut, When You Were Mine. I seriously loved that book to pieces and have been dying for her to publish something else. So I was super super excited when I saw her next book show up on Edelweiss as an advanced copy. I immediately requested it and thanks to some help was approved fairly quickly. And thank goodness for that because the book was fantastic! It was everything that I loved about When You Were Mine but with more. Rebecca Serle has grown as an […]
