Make Up Reading

  4.5 out of 5 stars I really love audio books and a great narrator makes the novel come alive. At first I wasn't sure how much I liked the narration but after getting to know the character of Gretchen I thought the narrator was actually perfect. This is definitely the kind of book I can see myself listening to again right after Christmas which is when the book begins. I think besides the narration my favorite aspect of this story was the fact that Gretchen was in love with romantic comedies and basically thought that was what love was really like until she finds it in real life.  This is a sweet, fun YA novel to just sit back and enjoy, I think there a little bit of something for everyone here.

5 out of 5 stars Megan McCafferty is definitely a fun read! It's the early 90's and Cassie Worthy is super excited to spend the Summer working with her boyfriend in the Mall with her boyfriend. She is finally over the Mono that kept her locked in her house for months on end so she is determined to have a blast. Well, this read like a teen comedy from that era so we know that things do not go as planned!! As Cassie deals with her teen world falling apart she begins to realize that sometimes things end for a reason and there is often something or someone better out there for you.  If you love the 90's you will love this. This is a fun, Summer must read! 

I am so glad that I picked up this series. I loved "Strange the Dreamer" but I loved this book even more. You really got a great background on the world and how many of the characters became who they are. Lazlo and Sarai are definitely one my most favorite couples ever! Their love story is just so beautiful.  What I love so much about this story is the way Laini Taylor writes villains. There are so many layers to them and you often find yourself feeling so much for them. I really don't want to ruin this for you so I will just say that this is an absolutely beautiful follow up to "Strange the Dreamer". You will not be disappointed!

Can I give this more than 5 stars?  First I want to thank Netgalley and Blink Publishing for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this novel for an honest review. This is the best book I have read so far this year! I like YA contemporary novels but my favorite style of books has been thriller so this is saying a lot considering I have read some good thrillers already this year. I am not sure if I loved this so much because it is a mash up of my favorite John Hughes Film "Pretty in Pink" and my favorite time loop movie "Groundhog Day" (okay and Happy Death Day but whatever!)or if I loved this so much because the main character agrees with me on whom Andie should end up with in "PIP" but I just adored this book. I just know that this book really got to me in the best of ways. If there was a feeling this book made me feel it. I loved the main character of Andie and I loved all of the other characters in this sweet and funny novel that is perfect for a ...
