Review: Isla and the Happily E..

In 2010 a very good friend of mine said one thing to me that essentially changed my life. She said, ‘read Anna and the French Kiss’. Having only dabbled in reading in the past and slightly getting more into it I agreed and nothing has been the same. I have read that one book 8 times, its companion Lola and the Boy Next Door twice and most recently Isla and the Happily Ever After. Isla was a book that I have been anticipating for years, half scared it would let down, half scared it would be amazing and leave me […]

Review: Lola and the Boy Next ..

I have no idea how I managed to never review this book, But I’m fixing that…NOW! What can I say about Lola Nolan? What can I say about Lola and the Boy Next Door?

And simply put, it was magnificent! That’s really all I can use to describe this amazingly emotional book about loss, and being the one left behind. Hold Still is the story of Caitlin, a high school junior, […]

Review: Just One Year – ..

Let me start by saying how excited I was when a friend got an advanced copy of this and let me borrow it before she even read it. She is totally awesome. I’ve been dying to read this book since I finished Just One Day back in January and it didn’t disappoint…for the most part. Although I didn’t love it as much as Just One Day, I really enjoyed Willem’s story which turned out to be a year of growth and changes. Just One Year is the companion to Just One Day. I say companion because although it has the […]
