Review:Great Young Adult novel. Despite the major differences between the 2 main characters: miss cheerleader, popular USA, and gang banger, bad boy-they find similarities together that leads to an unexpected relationship. The plot of this story keeps the reader engaged in the story. I like the chemistry aspect in that the 2 main characters are partnered in a Chemistry class for a project and then there ends up being personal chemistry between them. Read more
Review:I really loved this book. My emotions were all over the place, especially when it came to Noah and his brothers. I felt the love between them and the pain Noah was going through all at the same time. Both Noah and Echo had been through some terrible things in their young lives. The connection they shared was a great thing to watch develop. The connection between Noah, Isaiah, and Beth was a special bond in its own right. I had very mixed feelings with Echos dad and their relationship. I was so r... Read more
Review:I read the first book in the Perfect Chemistry and loved it, so I was excited to read this book. So far the books in this series have been incredibly easy to fall into and read. I am instantly sucked into the story and engaged with these characters and their struggles. I always whip through these books very quickly. They are impossible to put down and very entertaining reads.
This book follows Alex’s younger brother, Carlos. Carlos is different from Alex in that he has some major att... Read more

Review:I loved the plot line and the characters! It would be great to do a follow up book along the line to describe what CIA's life is like years down the road. Does she have children, did Tomas go with her, what her new job is. I definitely recommend this book to any reader that liked the Hunger Games and Divergent since this book seems to meld both in a new and exciting plot! Read more
Review:I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I thought book 1 was just ok but this one pretty much sucked me in and now I cannot wait to get the next book. It was a little predictable but the way the story was written will keep the reader hooked to the end. Mimi is really getting on my nerves though and I would not be upset to see the last of her. The biggest mystery that I cannot figure out is if Schuyler will end up with Oliver and spurn custom just like her mother or will she end up w... Read more
Review:‘Andreas Tangen’ is the fictitious name our nameless protagonist gives to the Officer on Duty the night he finds himself cold, wet, famished, keyless (not to say clueless, and consequently without even a room to go home to) and nearing delirium. His solution? To seek room and board in the city jail whence he can contemplate the rain falling on the outside.
I only recently (July 17) read and reviewed Jack London’s MARTIN EDEN. Knut Hamsun’s semiautobiographical HUNGER could well serve a... Read more
