THIS IS WHAT HAPPY LOOKS LIKE by Jennifer E. Smith

April 22, 2014

With a page count of 416, I expected way more out of This is What Happy Looks Like. I’m convinced that even with 300 pages, the story would’ve had adequate room to breathe. In fact, I expect a whole lot more depth out of a thicker book, especially when it’s Contemporary. There’s little world building…

ANGUS, THONGS AND FULL-FRONTAL SNOGGING by Louise Rennison

April 5, 2014

There were a lot of things about this book that I didn’t particularly like but to be fair, I did smirk and laugh a lot. Georgia was hilarious, if a little neurotic. She obsessed about some of the weirdest things and there were only so many times I could gloss over a character flippantly saying…

CATCHING JORDAN by Miranda Kenneally

March 31, 2014

CATCHING JORDAN (Hundread Oaks #1) by Miranda KenneallyCatching Jordan was one of those books I had more fun looking forward to than actually reading. For one, books about sports often get me very excited. For another, the protagonist is a girl on a guys’ team! How can this not turn out to be a great book? Simple: when the sports action itself is lacking in the book.

THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT by Jennifer E. Smith

March 10, 2014

Alright, this is going to be one of my shortest reviews, I think. Even though there weren’t very many surprises left in the book with the blurb that has been included with the book, I can’t deny the cuteness factor of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. In fact, this is one of…

GAME ON (The Academy #1) by Monica Seles & James LaRosa

March 8, 2014

When I picked up Game On, I did so because I recognized the author’s name. Monica Seles. Anyone who grew up in a household that almost always had tennis running on TV would’ve recognized her name. If not for the former Word number 1’s 9 Grand Slam titles, then for the 1993 stabbing. Naturally I…
