Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge

Blog Tour: Please Don't Tell by Laura Tims

Review: I have been waiting for this book for over three years. I kid you not. Three years ago I met an unknown Laura Tims at the Baltimore Book Festival where she told me about her book and I wanted it. I wanted it bad. But I had to wait. And wait. All I had to go on was a title - PLEASE DON'T TELL and it made me want it more. Please don't tell what ? What is the secret? But then - this year - it finally fell into my hands and it was GLORIOUS. Everything I had waited for. Tense, thrilling and full of imaginative characters and revenge and mystery. PLEASE DON'T TELL kept me up until late at night, wondering and guessing. This is a dark book. It's dark and delicious and I loved sinking into every second of it. I knew when I met Laura that she had a lot of promise, but her debut cements her as an author to watch throughout the coming years. ABOUT PLEASE DON'T TELL: Joy killed Adam Gordon—at least, that’s what she thinks. The night of the party is hazy at best. But

Blog Tour: Spark by Holly Schindler

Review: Sweet and poignant and oftentimes witty, SPARK is a like it's namesake - an ember of an idea that quickly blooms into an inferno that captures the readers' attention and heart. Holly Schindler is an amazing author with a wealth of talent. SPARK made me wish I could go back in time and revisit my high school theatre - almost all of my friends were involved in theatre and our biannual productions, but I never engaged. Now I really wish I had - Quin made me nostalgic for something I never experienced. Part mystery, part contemporary, and completely original, SPARK is a book that will resonate with a lot of readers of all ages. It's a beautiful story with sparkling characters and glittering backdrops that paint a vibrant canvas for the reader to enjoy.  ABOUT SPARK : The local Avery Theater was just a run-down building to Quin—until her mother told her the tragic love story of Nick and Emma that played out on the theater’s stage all those years ago. Quin is convinced it

Blog Tour: Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes

Review: GIRL AGAINST THE UNIVERSE is about a girl, Maguire, figuring out her life and place in the universe that has dealt her a lot of leveling blows. Seems somber and morose, but with Paula Stokes' wit and genius, Maguire becomes a sarcastic and genuine character that worked her way into my heart by the second chapter. The relationship between Maguire and Jordy was definitely the best part for me - and not just because I am a diehard romantic. I love the way Stokes let it build and crescendo naturally. It never felt forced or fake, and when there were problems - significant problems - they didn't just smile and accept it. Multiple times they walked away and had to come back and work things out. While, yes, there is a romance (and a great one at that) in GATU, it's more about Maguire finding herself and learning about herself; what she can change and can't change. Watching Maguire as she set goals for herself and worked through her issues always gave me a sense of hope

Blog Tour: A Totally Awkward Love Story

Hey all! I am so excited to welcome the dynamic duo behind A TOTALLY AWKWARD LOVE STORY, Tom & Lucy, to the blog so they can share their favorite books! TOM: 1. Just William - Richmal Crompton . This was the first book that made me realize how much fun reading can be. It's a series about a mischievous English schoolboy, William Brown, in the 1930s and 1940s, who loves nothing more than coming up with crazy plans and having fun with his friends. I read these books when I was probably 10 or 11, and saw William as a proper hero - he was always very anti-establishment; always in trouble with teachers and his parents, and I remember wanting to be just like him! 2. The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 and 3/4 - Sue Townsend . This is basically the Bible of awkward teenage comedy. It's a "diary" written by a pretentious, unlucky-in-love, socially awkward British teenager called Adrian Mole. Serious laugh-out-loud comic writing. Reading this for the first time made me

Blog Tour: Ask Me How I Got Here by Christine Heppermann

  Review: Christine Heppermann's sophomore release is just as strong and striking as her debut. But where her debut was a series of poems, ASK ME HOW I GOT HERE is a full novel, but told in verse. Heppermann excels at verse - she's a master of capturing raw honesty with beautiful verses that keep a reader completely engaged and hooked on her every word.  I will admit that it makes getting into the book a bit more difficult, and understanding Addie is a bit harder, but once you fall into the cadence and rhythm of the book, it's a beautiful and powerful story. ABOUT ASK ME HOW I GOT HERE: Addie has always known what she was running toward. In cross-country, in life, in love. Until she and her boyfriend—her sensitive, good-guy boyfriend—are careless one night and she ends up pregnant. Addie makes the difficult choice to have an abortion. And after that—even though she knows it was the right decision for her—nothing is the same anymore. She doesn’t want anyone besides her pa
