What a fun book! It was definitely not a disappointment. Though I thought Penny thinking all boys were horrible was a little immature and rather sexist, it made for a great book. I seriously recommend  this book to anyone looking for a light cute read. This book was fantastic. It was a gunny, heart touching story about finding yourself and friendship. This story is definitely one you'll fall in love with. I could tell from the beginning that Ryan Bauer is the love interest. Him being completely cliche gave it away. Him being cliche isn't bad, though, why? because I love cliches. 
When Penny discusses her friendship with Diane very early in the book, I really felt for her. I've lost my fair share of friends due to someone else or separation. It really does hurt. I'm glad her and Diane were able to make up. (Wait- is hat a spoiler? SORRY!) 
I'm really glad there is a second book. I need more cuteness from these characters! Just like Better off Friends, the characters were very real as well as their relationships with each other. I really enjoyed this whole book and finished it in one sitting. Penny is a sweet girl who's very open but makes her fair share of mistakes. Ryan is hot, athletic, sweet, and funny. Pretty much everything you'd ever want in a guy. I'm giving this book a 8/10 stars. One of my favorites and one that I'd definitely be willing to reread as soon as I get the time. 
I personally know next to nothing about the Beatles and still enjoyed this book immensely so all you Beatles fans out there? You'd really enjoy this book because it has many references to the Beatles. 
Sorry for all the short reviews I've been posting, I have a lot to write today! 
Synopsis: 
Love is all you need... or is it? Penny's about to find out in this wonderful debut.

Penny is sick of boys and sick of dating. So she vows: no more. It's a personal choice. . .and, of course, soon everyone wants to know about it. And a few other girls are inspired. A movement is born: The Lonely Hearts Club (named after the band from Sgt. Pepper). Penny is suddenly known for her nondating ways . . . which is too bad, because there's this certain boy she can't help but like. . . .

Here is another book I've avoided reading for a while. I don't really regret not reading it, but I'm glad I did read this book. Seph, the main character I found really annoying at times and at times the story did get a bit dull, but all in all it was a pretty good book. Not one that I'll be rereading anytime soon, though. Also, I will make no promises on when I'll read the Dragon Heir. I have it in my possession but feel no strong need or want to read it. Seph and a girl build up a relationship in this book. I personally thought that the relationship was very rushed and the girl, too was annoying. I guess her and Seph were meant for each other. Ha. It also felt like their relationship was rather random. Like halfway through the book the author was just like oh no! I forgot a romance, let's make a random girl up who'll fit well with Seph.  I totally forgot the names from people in the Warrior Heir. Never the less, I got really excited when they were mentioned and even more excited when they came into the story. Though, I was disappointed in Seph because of the way he treated the Warrior Heir people. For those of you who've read this book, you'll understand this. There's this one thing that Seph knows he's been lied to about and really wants to know what it actually is. Seph is a clueless dumb butt because it was obvious to anyone with one eye what the answer to his question is. In fact, there wasn't much in this book that surprised me. All the things that seemed like they were supposed to be shocking plot twists I already saw coming miles away. That was a bit annoying but at the same time satisfying. It's good to know I haven't gotten rusty at reading into foreshadowing and hints the authors leave. 
I'm giving The Wizard Heir 6.5/10 stars. It didn't quite reach the 7 star point, but towards the end it got a little more interesting. A little. If you found the Warrior Heir mildly interesting I'd recommend this story. It gets interesting enough towards the end. 

Synopsis: 
Sixteen-year-old Seph McCauley has spent the past three years getting kicked out of one exclusive private school after another. And it's not his attitude that's the problem: it's the trail of magical accidents - lately, disasters - that follow in his wake. Seph is a wizard, orphaned and untrained, and his powers are escalating out of control.

After causing a tragic fire at an after-hours party, Seph is sent to the Havens, a secluded boys' school on the coast of Maine. Gregory Leicester, the headmaster, promises to train Seph in magic and initiate him into his mysterious order of wizards. But Seph's enthusiasm dampens when he learns that training comes at a steep cost, and that Leicester plans to use his students' powers to serve his own mysterious agenda.

And here, my friends, is another book I avoided reading and ended up regretting doing so. Hex Hall was a very fun read. I really enjoyed it. I think I might've liked it better than Rebel Belle, though since I haven't read Rebel Belle in a while, I can't actually say whether or not that statement is really true. This book was a fun and light read, meaning that I was interested but could put to down and go to sleep without too much trouble. Well, for the most part of the book I could. Towards the end I'm not sure if I would've been able to put it down. For all y'all thinking that this is a rip off of Harry Potter. It is not. It's hardly like Harry Potter at all. 
Sophie Mercer was a funny character. I felt a lot of second hand embarrassment from her, but it's okay. She's a protagonist that I like, which is good. She has a very determined personality and isn't willing to give up on her beliefs. A true rebel at heart. 
Archer is a cutie. He's funny and sweet and can weird magic well. He's definitely a keeper. Though, it took a while for me to like him since his name is Archer and for some reason I don't find that name too attractive. (Sorry Archers reading this) 
There are two big plot twists that happen in this story. The first I was not expecting and the second I was. Not entirely expecting what happened but something along the lines of it. 
I'm giving this book a 7/10 stars. It was a really fun read. Especially since I love to read about supernatural beings, as you could probably tell from the other books I've read. 

Synopsis: 
Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father—an elusive European warlock—only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters. By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tag-along ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect. 

As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.

What a perfect book. I fell absolutely in love with the book and read it from start to finish in one sitting. So much for going to bed early (I started it at 11 PM). The characters were easy to fall in love with and so were the relationships. Better off Friends is a sweet story about Macallan and Levi and their struggles in their friendship. The book starts off with the question Can girls and boys be friends? Personally, I believe that yes, people of different genders can be friends. Some of my best friends are boys so...  Anyway, I've been avoiding this book for a really long time. I bought it last fall but didn't read it until recently. I seriously regret that because there is not one part of this story that I did not absolutely love. The characters, the plot, the problems, the relationships, everything was just wonderful in this book. I want a friendship like Macallan and Levi have. Um, if any of my guy friends are reading this, sorry? 
The realism in this story is amazing and makes it even easier to become attached to because you can relate to at least one of the situations that these two are put in. Better off Friends starts off when Levi moves to town in the 7th Grade. It shows how Macallan and Levi become friends and continues on until senior year. The story is told from both Macallan and Levi's perspective with little comments back and forth between the two of them in between the chapters. It's great. Very entertaining. 
This book had me laughing out loud, feeling like I wanted to cry at times and making my heart churn for a relationship like the one Macallan and Levi have. I experienced so many different emotions while reading Better off Friends. Which is good, because that means the writer has done her job right. 
"Mom, I don't know what's going on. She's locked herself in there. I think she's crying. I swear I didn't do anything." I was laughing so hard when this happened. Any girl and most boys reading this book will understand what happened but Levi was completely clueless. 
I loved (as mentioned before) how real everything in this story felt. Both Macallan and Levi make mistakes. Sometimes big ones. It makes them human and a lot easier to understand/bond with. 
The comments between Levi and Macallan between the chapters I enjoyed immensly, I'll share two of my other favorites in the spoilers section but I think this one doesn't spoil much. I mean, obviously they get feelings for one another in this story, so I don't see this as much of a spoiler. Even though I marked three of the in between comments, the rest are just as amusing. Actually, this one isn't amusing, it's just really cute. 

On a scale of one to ten, how much of a pain was I after my injury? And please be honest. 
Do you think I would hold back on you? 
Unfortunately, no. 
On a scale of one to ten? Thirteen. 
Fair enough. 
Now I have a question for you. On a scale of one to ten, how annoyed were you that I was going to the dance with someone else? 
Infinity. 

Aww, if that isn't cute. What the heck do you find cute? 

I'm going to share two of my other favorites in the spoilers below. 

This story was definitely one to fall in love with. I highly recumbent it to any of you looking for a romance or trying to get out a book morning stage. It's a fun and cute read, yet very short. Only two hundred pages or so. Elizabeth is a fantastic writer, so much so that I had to buy another one of her books. Which I've already read and will post my review of soon. 


Synopsis: 

For Macallan and Levi, it was friends at first sight. Everyone says guys and girls can’t be just friends, but these two are. They hang out after school, share tons of inside jokes, their families are super close, and Levi even starts dating one of Macallan’s friends. They are platonic and happy that way.

Eventually they realize they’re best friends — which wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t keep getting in each other’s way. Guys won’t ask Macallan out because they think she’s with Levi, and Levi spends too much time joking around with Macallan, and maybe not enough time with his date. They can’t help but wonder . . . are they more than friends or are they better off without making it even more complicated?

From romantic comedy superstar Elizabeth Eulberg comes a fresh, fun examination of a question for the ages: Can guys and girls ever really be just friends? Or are they always one fight away from not speaking again — and one kiss away from true love?



SPOILERS


This is after Macallan kissed Levi. 

Yeah. 
Still speechless, I see?
Give me a break, will you? There I was, pouring my heart out, when you attacked me. I usually refer to be taken out on a date first. At least buy a guy a slice f pizza before you take advantage of him. Especially if he's emotionally fragile. 
Yes, poor you. You were being ridiculous sand that was the only think I could think to do to shut you up. 
 I really need to start talking more. 
Are you blushing? 
Um, what were we talking about? 
How I'm the love of your life. 
Obviously. 

That was both cute and funny, which was pretty much how the whole book was. 

Just so we're remembering correctly: When you kissed me, I went home and splashed cold water on my face. When I tried to kiss you, you ran away to Ireland for the summer. 
Perhaps to the best timing on my part. 
Understatement of the the millennium. 

I don't really have much to say about this book. Its synopsis sounded more interesting than the actual book. It had potential, but sadly, failed. I think one of the bigger issues of Play with Me is that it's rushed. The book is only a hundred pages or so, usually that's around the length of a novella. Also, I didn't particularly grow attached to any of the characters. Also! The main character, Lisa I found to be annoying as heck. She's so clingy to Tony. It's like, no wonder he prefers the other girl! If they've known each other since kindergarten and he has yet to make a move, doesn't that tell you something? She's annoyingly clingy, has tendencies to act bratty, thinks she's the center of Tony's universe and feels the need to rub it in that she's a "perfect extra small" that line really pissed me off. I was going to give this book (it's so short, I'm not even sure if I can call it that) a 6/10 stars, but thinking back on it, that seems too generous. I'm going to give Play with Me 5/10 stars. It was rushed, not giving enough time to make the story very interesting or give the reader a chance to grow attached to the characters. The protagonist I disliked more than I liked and the love story wasn't very good. Sorry, Anna, but this book somewhat fell flat in my eyes. I actually only really bought it because it was free... This definitely isn't anywhere on my recommendations list. I don't plan on reading the rest of the books. Maybe if they were free but I don't feel like paying money for books that I would most likely not enjoy. Plus, I'd rather use the time I'd use reading them for more useful things such as reading better (in my eyes) books, blogging, writing or doing pretty much anything else. 


Here's the synopsis:


Ryan Hunter’s parties are legend. And tonight she’s going to be there.

Lisa Matthews anticipates the return of her best friend and only love since kindergarten kindle reversefrom soccer camp. But when Tony finally shows up, his mind is more focused on another girl. And worse, she’s a soccer player. Fighting for the attention Lisa craves, she’s just a hairbreadth away from making a very stupid decision. But when extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, she’s prepared to play ball to get her man.

The tryouts are hell, the first match ends bloody, and the morning after the selection party she wakes up in the worst place possible—in the arms of the captain of the soccer team. The hottest guy in school… Ryan Hunter. 

I loved the first book in this series. This book was not a disappointment. With cuteness and romance levels that makes the cuteness and romance charts explode I can honestly say I loved this book. It had plenty of humor in it, too. Jenny Han really did a great job on this marvelous novel. It was a very fun read. Lara Jean is a very realistic protagonist who feels things in a very human way and is very relatable. She's so sweet, I love it. Her and Peter's relationship is something to envy. Peter really is a realistic guy with real faults, but he tries which is what counts. All the people and situations in this book are realistic, like Jenny could just be recording a real person's life. I loved that. I knew that John would return in this novel and he'd be competition for Lara Jean's heart. Now, if you read my other review of To All the Boys I've Loved Before, you'd know I LOVE Peter. So, I was pretty sure that I would hate John... That was not what happened. 
John is kind of almost every girl's dream boy. He's that good guy next door who's smart and funny yet insanely good looking. Huh, these next door boys only seem to exist in novels/fiction. If you usually read my reviews then you will also know that I am a big fan of bad boys but John... I couldn't help but love him too. Even though we didn't see him for much of this book, I was actually conflicted about which boy I wanted Lara Jean to end up with. 
If you think about it, John must be a pretty awesome character because 1. you meet him very late in the book and yet I still ended up almost rooting for him 2. I knew Peter for a whole other book and yet I still felt conflicted 3. Peter is right up my alley for boys and yet I still really liked John 4. John is just amazing okay? Okay. 
The conflicts in this book felt very real. As I've said before, everything with these books feels realistic. That means a lot of second hand awkwardess, haha.  Sometimes Lara Jean was a little too clueless, like when Peter didn't seem to be happy to see her or when he didn't react to her saying something. She doesn't really realize people can mask their emotions. This series is fantastic and I'd recommend it to anyone willing to listen to things that I say. And Jenny? If you're reading this, well, first of all, I'm honored and secondly PLEASE WRITE ANOTHER BOOK WITH THESE CHARACTERS I LOVE THEM. 
I'm giving this book a 9/10 stars for sheer fantastically awesomeness. 

SPOILERS BELOW FOR P.S. I Still Love You

Ah, when Peter read the letter I was like YESS at the same time I felt SO much secondhand awkwardness. I totally laughed when Peter said "It's called playing hard to get." It'd been a while since I read the last book, but I easily jumped back into this series. 
It was very emotional when I found out that Peter had made those fruitcake cookies. He'd said he mom had, ha, liar. That kind of effort is what I want from a  boy. 
Anonybitch is the gossip girl of this small town. 
Haha, when Kitty talked about the TV shows she watched I laughed because that was totally me as a child. I watched a lot of things I shouldn't on TV. And just because my parent's banned me from watching shows such as Secret Life of an American Teenager and The Vampire Diaries when I was young doesn't mean I did. 
That double standard on the video really pissed me off. People, please stop being sexist. The good thing from that video? Peter got so adorably protective. The secondhand embarrassment I felt was totally worth it. Though I felt bad for him because he couldn't do anything about it. 
When Stormy said she had a grandson I was like IT IS JOHN. That was not a surprise. Was it meant to be? 
I was glad to see that Josh was still in the story and he had not completely just disappeared. He is her next door neighbor, after all. 
Then John's letter came. And it was really cute... I was still team Peter at this point. 
A major second hand awkward moment? "I don't want to have sex with you in a car." Lara Jean! Sometimes honesty and no filter is not the way to go! You guys were not about to have sex!
That game of Assassin sounds really fun. I wish I could play it with my friends but since 1. it's summer so a bunch of us live a far walk away from each other that would just mean we'd see each other less 2. I don't think they'd really want to. 
Even though I really liked John, I really didn't want Peter and Lara Jean to break up! I worked to hard for this relationship and I love it! Though, if Lara Jean really didn't trust Peter I'm not sure that was good in the relationship anyway...
I felt really bad for Peter after the break up but taking the necklace back was a really dick move. That was when we really got to know John. He's such a sweet heart. I honestly wasn't rooting for wither guy more than the other. Which is weird, because I almost always have a team I know I want to win. 
"Will you help me take out Genevieve?" 
"It would be my honor." 
*SQUEAL*
If this wasn't obvious to y'all Peter was SO jealous when they ran into each other at the nursing home. "Is this a date? Are you on a date with him?" That made me squeal, too. I don't know why jealousy turns me on so much. I'm sure if it actually happened to me it'd piss me off more than turn me on. (Though I still would be a little flattered) 
It was so cute how Kitty stood up for Lara Jean against Peter #sisterbond
I just want another book.....

Compared to my last haul this one is tiny, thank goodness. I'm going to try and keep up with these hauls since it takes a lot of time to figure out which books I haven't hauled and to type the haul if I'm say, 5 months behind. This haul is so tiny, in fact, that I'm typing it off my phone. I was going to do it off my iPad, which would be a lot easier. But noooo, blogging is not supported on the IPad yet. Um, then why does weebly even have the app available for the iPad?

Anyway, my first book for this haul is called The Heart of Betrayal by Mary E. Pearson. I'm really excited to read this because, as you may or may not recall (or if you haven't been following my blog, will not recall at all) I really enjoyed the first book in this series, The Kiss of Deception. I also just reread the first book two nights ago so I would be able to fully enjoy this book in all its glory. I have fairly high expectations for this book and it's going to be the first one I pick up. I may pick it up right after I finish this review, depending on whether or not I decide to bake.

Here's the synopsis: (DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE YET TO READ THE FIRST BOOK)

Intrigue abounds in this hotly anticipated sequel to The Kiss of Deception!

Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape. Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the Komizar's interest in Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen.

Meanwhile, nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to Lia, but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom Lia always believed to be barbarians. Now that she lives amongst them, however, she realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that will affect her country... and her own destiny.

I personally like both Rafe and Kaden so... Though I feel like Kaden might be more my type? Then again if i was listening I wouldn't feel too happy towards Kaden as he lied to her and almost killed her. Almost, he saved her life... Kinda. I'd be pretty pissed at Rafe, too. Or should I say Jaxton?

My next book is Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes. I have no idea where I first heard of this book. Probably sometime on book tube and I thought it sounded kinda interesting. Anyway, it's been on my TBR list for a while, so I finally decided to buy it. I don't really have any expectations for this book, good or bad, because I have never read a book by Morgan Rhodes and the synopsis sounds like it could go either way.

Synopsis:

In the three kingdoms of Mytica, magic has long been forgotten. And while hard-won peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest now simmers below the surface.

As the rulers of each kingdom grapple for power, the lives of their subjects are brutally transformed... and four key players, royals and rebels alike, find their fates forever intertwined. Cleo, Jonas, Lucia, and Magnus are caught in a dizzying world of treacherous betrayals, shocking murders, secret alliances, and even unforeseen love.

The only outcome that's certain is that kingdoms will fall. Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed?

It's the eve of war.... Choose your side.

Princess: Raised in pampered luxury, Cleo must now embark on a rough and treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of magic long thought extinct.

Rebel: Jonas, enraged at injustice, lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country cruelly impoverished. To his shock, he finds himself the leader of a people's revolution centuries in the making.

Sorceress: Lucia, adopted at birth into the royal family, discovers the truth about her past—and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.

Heir: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, firstborn son Magnus begins to realise that the heart can be more lethal than the sword....

Jesse's Girl by Miranda Kenneally. I'm so so so so very excited to read this book. It's the next book in Miranda's Hundred Oaks series and you may or may not be aware of the fact that I LOVE THIS SERIES. The characters and plots are realistic and you can't help but fall in love with them. Catching Jordan is the first book in this series and if you have yet to pick it up, I suggest you should because it's a very cute and fun read. I'm actually really excited to read this book because I heard there'd be a lot more of Jordan and _____ in it than there has been in the books after Catching Jordan. At first I thought the girl in this was Jordan and __'s daughter and I was freaking out because THEY CANT HAVE KIDS YET. Though, that'd be kinda fun to read about how they are as parents. No, it's ____'s sister. As you can probably tell, I have very high expectations for this book and I doubt it'll disappoint me.

Synopsis:

Everyone at Hundred Oaks High knows that career mentoring day is a joke. So when Maya Henry said she wanted to be a rock star, she never imagined she’d get to shadow *the* Jesse Scott, Nashville’s teen idol.

But spending the day with Jesse is far from a dream come true. He’s as gorgeous as his music, but seeing all that he’s accomplished is just a reminder of everything Maya’s lost: her trust, her boyfriend, their band, and any chance to play the music she craves. Not to mention that Jesse’s pushy and opinionated. He made it on his own, and he thinks Maya’s playing back up to other people’s dreams. Does she have what it takes to follow her heart—and go solo?

Spellbound by Rachel Hawkins. Jeez, it is mighty difficult to find this book in hardcover these days. Well, I did but it's the third book in the series so I need to find the second book in hardcover before reading this one. Anyway, this is the last book in the Hex Hall trilogy. A light, amusing and actiony series about a supernatural school. Before you say it, no, it is not a rip off of Harry Potter. I may actually make a rant post about how some people think everything is a ripoff.

Synopsis:

Hailed as “impossible to put down,” the Hex Hall series has both critics and teens cheering. With a winning combination of romance, action, magic and humor, this third volume will leave readers enchanted.

Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies—the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that’s what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending. But without her magic, Sophie isn’t as confident.

Sophie’s bound for one hell of a ride—can she get her powers back before it’s too late?

We Can Work It Out by Elizabeth Eulberg. I cannot wait to read this book. It is the second book to the Lonely Hearts Club- which was a great book- and I'm sure this story will be just as cute, funny, and romantic as the first.

Synopsis:

When Penny Lane started The Lonely Hearts Club, the goal was simple: to show that girls didn’t need to define themselves by how guys look at them, and didn’t have to value boyfriends over everything else. Penny thought she’d be an outcast for life…but then the club became far more popular than she ever imagined it would be.

But what happens when the girl who never thought she’d date a good guy suddenly finds herself dating a great one? She doesn’t need a boyfriend… but she wants it to work out with this particular boyfriend. And he wants it to work out with her.

Only, things keep getting in the way. Feelings keep getting hurt. Words keep getting misunderstood.

Penny Lane worked hard to declare her independence. Now she needs to figure out what to do with it — and how to balance what she wants with what everyone else wants. In We Can Work It Out, Elizabeth Eulberg returns to the world of her first novel, The Lonely Hearts Club, and gets to the heart of how hard relationships can be… and why they are sometimes worth all the drama and comedy they create.

I enjoyed this book immensely, just like I did with a lot of Miranda's books. But one thing really pissed me off about this book. The physical book is shorter lengthwise and widthwise than the rest in the series. WHY PUBLISHERS WHY?! Do they not understand how that looks on the shelf?? Like all of Miranda's book boys, Jeremiah is ridiculously hot and really, it's hard not to fall for this boy. Annie is realistic and it's pretty easy to connect with her character. Sure, I don't have the same living situation as her and I'm definitely not going on a marathon anytime soon, but her emotions and thoughts, I could connect with those. 
I'm giving this story 8/10 stars because it was great. A sweet romance you won't be able to put down. It wasn't as great as Catching Jordan or Stealing Parker but it was a fantastic story. Sorry if this review is bad, I was enjoying the book so much I Didn't take too many notes and I read this book a long time ago. Can't wait for Jesse's Girl. Um, what else should I say besides READ THIS BOOK! ! ! (If you haven't read any of Miranda Kenneally's books 1. What have you been doing with your life? 2. Read in this order otherwise you will be spoiled Catching Jordan, Stealing Parker, Things I Can't Forget, Racing Savannah, Breathe Annie Breathe.) 
Synopsis: 
Annie hates running. No matter how far she jogs, she can’t escape the guilt that if she hadn’t broken up with Kyle, he might still be alive. So to honor his memory, she starts preparing for the marathon he intended to race.

But the training is even more grueling than Annie could have imagined. Despite her coaching, she’s at war with her body, her mind—and her heart. With every mile that athletic Jeremiah cheers her on, she grows more conflicted. She wants to run into his arms…and sprint in the opposite direction. For Annie, opening up to love again may be even more of a challenge than crossing the finish line.

"Breathe, Annie, Breathe is an emotional, heartfelt, and beautiful story about finding yourself after loss and learning to love. It gave me so many feels. Her best book yet." — Jennifer Armentrout, New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You  


If I haven't convinced you to read this series, Jennifer should. JENNIFER ARMENTROUT said this series is good. If this doesn't convince you, what will???

GUYS. Kasie West is a genius who has yet to disappoint me. If you haven't picked up one of her novels yet, what are you doing with your life?! Go read one. Now!! Kasie is always able to blend the perfect amount of hotness, brains and perfectness into guys and makes her characters easy to love and get attached to. I read this book like almost instantly after it came out. I've been waiting impatiently for it ever since I read On the Fence. 
Gia is the Queen Bee at her school. She's popular, liked by many and in charge. It wasn't as easy to relate to her as some of Kasie's other characters but I still liked her. Then there was fill in Bradley who was a keeper. I'll give you one sentence and you'll fall in love with him, here it is: He reads. Are you swooning yet? If not, he's smart? Still not swooning? Jeez, what do you look for in a guy? Unless you don't like guys... 
"Words are powerful." That quote from Gia couldn't be more true. I can't say too much about the characters and stuff because I don't want to give anything away! I'm giving this book a 9/10 stars for amazingness.  Please, please, please, if you like romance novels. Pick up this book. 

Synopsis: 

When Gia Montgomery's boyfriend, Bradley, dumps her in the parking lot of her high school prom, she has to think fast. After all, she'd been telling her friends about him for months now. This was supposed to be the night she proved he existed. So when she sees a cute guy waiting to pick up his sister, she enlists his help. The task is simple: be her fill-in boyfriend—two hours, zero commitment, a few white lies. After that, she can win back the real Bradley.

The problem is that days after prom, it's not the real Bradley she's thinking about, but the stand-in. The one whose name she doesn't even know. But tracking him down doesn't mean they're done faking a relationship. Gia owes him a favor and his sister intends to see that he collects: his ex-girlfriend's graduation party—three hours, zero commitment, a few white lies.

Just when Gia begins to wonder if she could turn her fake boyfriend into a real one, Bradley comes waltzing back into her life, exposing her lie, and threatening to destroy her friendships and her new-found relationship.
