The Lonely Hearts Club

The Lonely Hearts Club
Elizabeth Eulberg

I actually won this book in a contest. I have to say I couldn't put it down. It was fun and made me feel total girl power. It's about a girl who finds out her love is cheating on her and she decides to swear off boys for the rest of the year. Of course this catches on with other girls around the school and soon the whole female population wants in on the club. Some are not in it for the right reasons and they eventually get kicked out. But during swearing off of men completely sure enough a guy who is nothing but great starts falling for the main character and leader of the club, what's she to do. It's a great easy, fun, fast read and it will put a smile on you're face.

The Secret Life of Prince Charming

The Secret Life of Prince Charming
by Deb Caletti

I started to read this book, got maybe halfway through and I just couldn't finish it because I couldn't get into it at all. So I gave up and I never give up, but I did. It's about a girl who's whole life all the women will tell her how unreal love is, total cynics. The cover suggests that it's going to be a good YA romantic comedy type book, but it's not. It's all word too much description, I'm the type of reader where I need a lot of conversation and more interaction. If you disagree please let me know and I'll try and re read the book but for this time around I just couldn't do it.

Waiting for You

Waiting For You
by Susane Colasanti

This book is about a girl who is constantly waiting for something to happen, for someone to find her, for someone to just be with. It starts out with her coming back to school after being severely depressed and going through therapy, then she somehow catches the eye of a really cute guy that she's been crushing on. This scenario almost seems a little too unlikely, like she just had a little bit too much luck so it was unbelievable. Meanwhile throughout the whole book is a neighbor boy who used to be close with her, then wasn't, but now is again. It was obvious where the book was going even who the Mystery DJ was in the end. Overall okay read but really predictable and at the same time unbelievable.

Love and Peaches

Love and Peaches

by Jodi Lynn Anderson

I finally found the a copy of the last book in the series. It was a sweet book, a littler bitter sweet ending I guess. All three girls by the end of the book find their way in life, the way they were meant to live it. Leeda and Murphy come back to town to work at the Darlington Peach Orchard only to find out the place is falling apart and will probably be the last year. Birdie comes back from Mexico after freaking out about her boyfriend's proposal. All the same great characters are there with their great personalities and even a new character who you just can't help to like. It was a great quick read, sad it's over but glad it ended the way it did.

Love You, Hate You, MIss You

Love You, Hate You, Miss You
by Elizabeth Scott

OK so this is the last book by her that I'm reading, just cause i can't get my hands on any of her other books yet he he. So this book is about a girl named Amy who is tall, awkward and doesn't know how to deal with life anymore now that she's killed her best friend Julia. At least that's how she sees it, after going through therapy and passing days without her best friend, and let's not forget no alcohol she realizes slowly that things weren't as good as she thought they were. It's a really good book that shows how someone deals with grief and repercussions of their actions, the recurring theme in the book is that we make our own choices which i wholeheartedly agree with. Just because you follow someone you are still choosing to do so. Another great book by Elizabeth Scott.

Something Maybe

Something Maybe

by Elizabeth Scott

So I'm a big fan of this author now, her books I just can't seem to put down. This book was great and really bought a new crush into my life. This book is about a girl named Hannah who's parents (not together) pretty much make a living being online (whether naked or just with a bunch of bimbos) and her trying to just be normal. She's completely in love with Josh who she thinks is ultra sensitive, political, considerate etc. But on the other hand there is Finn who is annoying easy to talk to but she's not interested in at all, at least that's what she thinks. throughout the book you just want to jump Finn's bones, the things he does and she doesn't even notice. It's just really great I loved their interaction and wanted more. Major literary crush on Finn over here :-)
