Book talk - Review of 'New Girl' by Paige Harbison

This ebook was kindly provided to me by Netgalley for HarlequinTeen .) Check out the blurb here . Warning: New Girl includes disturbing & mature scenes.

Book talk - Review of Isla and the happily ever after by S. Perkins.

Published August 14th 2014 by Dutton We rate it: 4.5 stars out of 5 It comes to no surprise that Stephanie once again managed to knock our fluffy socks off. I mean, we all expected it, didn't we?! I most certainly did.  I know Steph has had a bunch of worries about writing Isla, seeing as it is the last and final book in the series and, naturally, those are always the toughest ones to complete, but I knew from the start that she'd have nothing to worry about. I was 100% sure she'd ace it, and, well, here we are.  I think out of the 3, Isla was the book with the most ups and downs and overall had the most emotionally consuming plot. Josh & Isla's story really tugged at my heartstrings and I found it most difficult to detach myself from the heartbreak.  Isla and the happily ever after is one of those stories that act as some sort of mad teleportation device. Before you know it, you're tumbling right back into your own teenager years w...

THE TOP TEN MOMENTS OF... The Art of Letting Go / SPECIAL

Top Ten for Artistic Nonsense So, Today we've got the honour to present  Anna's Top Ten  favourites  from  her recently published eBook ' The Art of Letting Go '   So sit back and enjoy! This is going to be my favourite post to write…and that’s because I am going to reveal my top ten favourite bits in The Art of Letting Go. My ten favourite sections to read but also my favourite bits to write. The Fresher’s Ball – For me the Fresher’s Ball is where the story kicks off in earnest. I love the fact that Lilah looks stunning in my imagination but has no idea herself. The bit when Ben jumps off the stage to chase her is my go-to for warm fuzzy feelings. That’s got to be every girls dream to have a guy jump off a stage for her.  Lilah walking across campus in puddles of drool – I love the visual image of Lilah walking in puddles of drool. Have you ever tried to walk anywhere and stare at a hot guy at the same time? It is a very importan...
