A month and some days later I finally make another post. I've been apologizing for not posting a lot lately. I'M SORRY! High School has been a lost busier than I thought it would be and I haven't gotten a lot of time to read in. And the books I have read, I don't have too much to say about them. So instead of writing a bunch of short and boring reviews, I decided to recommend some of my favorite contemporary romances to y'all. This is in no specific order, just the first ones I saw on my shelf. If you haven't read any of these, I highly recommend them all. They're amazing and make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 
The first book / series I'm going to tell you about is the Hundred Oaks books by Miranda Kenneally. I read the first book in this series this... March? and absolutely fell in love with the writing, plot and characters and I just had to get the next books. This series isn't exactly a series, they're more companion novels but I suggest you read them in order because they are in chronological order and you'll be horribly spoiled if you skip a book. So don't! 
The first book in this series is called Catching Jordan and the romance/characters in this book is definitely my favorite out of all of them but they are all spectacular. I've reviewed all of them, so after this post, feel free to check out my reviews. :) Here's the synopsis of Catching Jordan: 
​ONE OF THE BOYS

What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn't just surrounded by hot guys, though-she leads them as the captain and quarterback of her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys and that's just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university.

But everything she's ever worked for is threatened when Ty Green moves to her school. Not only is he an amazing QB, but he's also amazingly hot. And for the first time, Jordan's feeling vulnerable. Can she keep her head in the game while her heart's on the line?

I actually just reread this book tonight and it is still as amazing as it was the first time I read it. The next book is called Stealing Parker and it's just as fun as the first book. Miranda has an excellent writing style and I really love how the books make me laugh and my heart squeeze from the sheer adorability. Also, with contemporaries, the endings don't usually surprise you, but the endings for these books might ;)

The next book I'm going to recommend is called To All the Boys I've Loved Before and it's by the fantastical author, Jenny Han. There is a sequel to this book- P.S. I Still Love You and it is just as quirky and fun as the first. I've reviewed both these books on my blog, too, so check them out if you're interested! 
The thing I love the most about both these books is how realistic everything feels. Lara Jean's feelings are easily relatable and you can really feel for her. These books are as I said before quirky and fun reads and they sure are hilarious and adorable also. If you have the chance, I'd say you should really give these books a chance. You won't regret it. 
Summery:
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of these letters after all.

I still really love the Anna and the French Kiss Series by Stephanie Perkins. And I still highly recommend them. And yes, I did review them so check it out if you want to. Actually I think it's just one. Yeah, the ending is no surprise in these books but the ride and journey to the end is what makes the end just so great. I absolutely love the relationships in these books and you really feel an attachment to these well written characters. After reading Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door and Isla and the Happily Ever After, your heart will ache for a romance like theirs. Now, like the Catching Jordan books/ Hundred Oaks series, these books are technically companion novels, but if you read them out of order, you'll be spoiled SO DON'T DO IT. 
Synopsis: 
Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris--until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful, Étienne has it all...including a serious girlfriend. 

But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss?

I really love Kasie West's books. These are my two favorites of her works. (does that sentence make sense? Yeah? No? Okay) These two books contain no spoilers for the others so you can read either one before the other. Both are fantastical so I suggest you read both and then Kasie West's other three books because all of them are just amazing. 
Oh and yes, I did review both these books on this very blog so...
On the Fence:

For sixteen-year-old Charlotte Reynolds, aka Charlie, being raised by a single dad and three older brothers has its perks. She can outrun, outscore, and outwit every boy she knows—including her longtime neighbor and honorary fourth brother, Braden. But when it comes to being a girl, Charlie doesn't know the first thing about anything. So when she starts working at chichi boutique to pay off a speeding ticket, she finds herself in a strange new world of makeup, lacy skirts, and BeDazzlers. Even stranger, she's spending time with a boy who has never seen her tear it up in a pickup game.

To cope with the stress of faking her way through this new reality, Charlie seeks late-night refuge in her backyard, talking out her problems with Braden by the fence that separates them. But their Fence Chats can't solve Charlie's biggest problem: she's falling for Braden. Hard. She knows what it means to go for the win, but if spilling her secret means losing him for good, the stakes just got too high.

Fill-in Boyfriend: 
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.

Another great two contemporary books are My Life with the Walter Boys and ​The Heartbreakers by Ali Novak. Both of these books were first published on Wattpad but there's a difference between the online version of the books and the published version, so I recommend you read both. Though, if you can't, it's okay to just read one of them. Both books are super fun to read. You'll find yourself laughing a bunch while reading them and having your heart ache for the gorgeous guys these stories contain. 
​PS: I have reviews on these books too
My Life With the Walter Boys: 
My Life with the Walter Boys centers on the prim, proper, and always perfect Jackie Howard. When her world is turned upside down by tragedy, Jackie must learn to cut loose and be part of a family again.

Jackie does not like surprises. Chaos is the enemy! The best way to get her successful, busy parents to notice her is to be perfect. The perfect look, the perfect grades-the perfect daughter. And then...

Surprise #1: Jackie's family dies in a freak car accident.

Surprise #2: Jackie has to move cross-country to live with the Walters-her new guardians.

Surprise #3: The Walters have twelve sons. (Well, eleven, but Parker acts like a boy anyway)

Now Jackie must trade in her Type A personality and New York City apartment for a Colorado ranch and all the wild Walter boys who come with it. Jackie is surrounded by the enemy-loud, dirty, annoying boys who have no concept of personal space. Okay, several of the oldest guys are flat-out gorgeous. But still annoying. She's not stuck-up or boring-no matter what they say. But proving it is another matter. How can she fit in and move on when she needs to keep her parents' memory alive by living up to the promise of perfect
The Heartbreakers:
"When I met Oliver Perry, I had no clue he was the lead singer for The Heartbreakers. And he had no idea that I was the only girl in the world who hated his music."
Stella will do anything for her sick sister, Cara—even stand in line for an autographed Heartbreakers CD...for four hours. She's totally winning best birthday gift this year. At least she met a cute boy with soft brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes while getting her caffeine fix. Too bad she'll never see him again.
Except, Stella's life has suddenly turned into a cheesy love song. Because Starbucks Boy is Oliver Perry – lead singer for the Heartbreakers. And even after she calls his music crap, Oliver still gives Stella his phone number. And whispers quotes from her favorite Disney movie in her ear. OMG, what is her life?
But how can Stella even think about being with Oliver — dating and laughing and pulling pranks with the band — when her sister could be dying of cancer? 
Ali Novak wrote her debut novel My Life with the Walter Boys when she was just 15 years old, and has since penned her next book, The Heartbreakers. First a hit on the online community Wattpad, her second novel has over 38 million reads and is loved by readers around the world.

And my last contemporary romance to recommend y'all is Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg. It's a great book and I really enjoyed reading it. I do believe it's my most recent favorite romance and I really regret taking so long to read it. The friendship between Levi and Macallan in this books is #goals but would their romantic relationship be similar? Read the book to find out. Oh, by the way, I do have a review on this spectacular book, too. 
Summery: 
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?

Please! Read these books so I have someone to talk to about them! Actually just read them because they're great books and I think you'd really enjoy them. Have any good contemporaries I didn't talk about? Feel free to leave comments on some of your favorite romances :) 

I'm going to start this post off by profoundly apologizing for not posting in over a month. The month of April has (had?) been a seriously busy month for me (I'm now a year older, just saying). I've had to stay up late doing homework so by the time I was done, all I wanted to do was sleep. I haven't had much time to read, so a book review has not been posted. Also, as you may know I have a rule about only reading one book at a time, so if I started one I have to finish it before starting another. Well, a month ago I started Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers and was not impressed by the first 150 pages or so. So... I may have been avoiding reading it for a while, also. Hopefully I'll motivate myself to pick it up again soon. 
Surprisingly enough, this post was not made to vehemently apologize for not posting in ages. I decided that since I haven't read anything in and while and haven't ordered any new books (I'm working on it) I'm going to make a book tag post! I've been wanting to make one for a while now bt haven't been able to get around to it because a. I had a book to read b. I had a book review to write c. I had homework or d. I had other things to do. But at the moment, I don't have any of those so I was like, I haven't posted in forever so why not make a book tag post? So normally book tags are created on BookTube and made in videos. But 1. videos take forever to edit and post and 2. I'm not too good at talking to a camera. I'm much better blogging, so why not just make a tag in blog form? It gets the same point across. 
Anyway, the Social Media Book Tag is a tag comparing books to some popular social media sites such as Instagram and Twitter. I'll link all my social media sites along with the book that goes with them. Feel free to follow/friend me on any one of them :). 
Alright, enough of the chit chat (chit type?) Let's get started on this book tag. 

A favorite book that is short... hmm... I like a lot of short books. Also I what I consider short is what others consider long... The first thing that pops into my head after the words 'favorite short book' at the moment is *drum roll* Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally 

This is so hard! I have so many books with GORGEOUS covers! But out of my favorite books... I'd have to say my favorite book covers are the SHADOWHUNTER CHRONICLES (by Cassandra Clare, you know, the books I make references to in like every one of my reviews) (AND LIKE ONE OF MY FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE SERIES)

Wait- what? You're saying I have to chose one? Ugh. Okay I choose. Clockwork Princess. And City of Heavenly Fire. And Clockwork Angel. And- OKAY those three are my top three favorite covers of this series, I'll stop there, okay? But I can't limit it any more. CASSIE WHY ART THOU COVERS SO GORGEOUSLY BEAUTIFUL?! 
Synopsis for City of Bones: 
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...  

Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end



Synopsis for Clockwork Angel: 
Magic is dangerous; but love is more dangerous still. 

In a time when Shadowhunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.

The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London's dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadowhunters; including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. 

Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them.... 

That depends, would it be turned into a craptastic movie like City of Bones or a marvelous movie like... Harry Potter? If we're going the Harry Potter Route, I have lots and lots of books I'd like to see turned into movies. Contemporaries are especially easy to turn into movies because they're cheap and can be just as good as an action movie if you write the script right. So for this question I'm going to give two (shhh I'm not cheating) a contemporary and an action) 
UGH THERE ARE SO MANY

Sadly I wasn't able to fit all my favorite books into this tag and I'm going to restrain myself from recommending my whole bookshelf to y'all. This is a hard choice but... A book I recomend to everyone is... Drum Roll?

OBSIDIAN BY JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT 
This book was simply fantastic. The plot of the series is great, it doesn't make aliens cheesy or embarrassing rot read about and it invigoratingly new and refreshing. It's an easy read that you'll get through in one sitting if you can. The action is spot on, as is the romance and the dialogue is down right hilarious. If you haven't read this book yet, I don't know what you've been up to but this book is seriously good stuff guys. I'll love y'all forever if you read it (and like it)
Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring… until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something… unexpected happens. 

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon’s touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I’m getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades. 

If I don’t kill him first, that is.

THIS BOOK WAS SO FLIPPING GOOD! 10/10 stars and if you've read my other reviews, you'd know an 8/10 stars is good so 10/10 is amazingly awesomely astonishingly absolutely perfect. So you may be wondering how in the world I'm posting a review on a book that's not even out yet, here's the thing, Barnes and Noble seemed to have put it out early so I HAVE IT!! :D YAY!! I literally walked past it like 9 times before I saw it and I almost screamed of excitement in the bookstore- no joke. Like all of Stephanie's books, this book is an adorable romance where you KNOW what's going to happen in the end but it's not the end you want to read about, it's the journey that makes it interesting, oh by the Angel I did not just say that. Anyway this book is astoundingly amazing so if you haven't read it, go to a Barnes and Noble near you and pick it up, or just come back and read this review after you've read the book, it's the last book in Stephanie's 'series'- Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door and Isla and the Happily Ever After. If you want to read my review on Anna and Lola click on the 'Stephanie Perkins' Category. I LOVED these books, they were so perfect, amazing for a book mourning period even though I just wanted to read Isla. These books are definitely my favorite romance books I've read. 
Here's the synopsis for Anna, Lola and Isla. -- They're much better than their synopsis's I swear on the Angel Raziel. 
Anna (Book 1)-

Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris--until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming,beautiful, Étienne has it all...including a serious girlfriend. 

But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss?

Lola (Book 2)- 

Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion...she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit--more sparkly, more fun, more wild--the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.

When Cricket--a gifted inventor--steps out from his twin sister’s shadow and back into Lola’s life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.

Isla (Book 3)-

From the glittering streets of Manhattan to the moonlit rooftops of Paris, falling in love is easy for hopeless dreamer Isla and introspective artist Josh. But as they begin their senior year in France, Isla and Josh are quickly forced to confront the heartbreaking reality that happily-ever-afters aren’t always forever.

Their romantic journey is skillfully intertwined with those of beloved couples Anna and Étienne and Lola and Cricket, whose paths are destined to collide in a sweeping finale certain to please fans old and new.

If I were to order these books from favorite to least favorite it'd go like this

1. Anna and the French Kiss
2. Isla and the Happily Ever After
3. Lola and the Boy Next Door

Not that Lola is a bad book but I just liked Isla SLIGHTLY better and I just loved Anna and the French Kiss completely from the first time I read it. So if you haven't read this series go pick up Anna and Lola in the bookstore now (and Isla if you can find it)- the new covers because the old ones are hideous- and read them in time for Isla which is coming out in 5 days! Anyway if you haven't read Isla you'd better leave now and come back after you have because I don't want to be responsible for you being spoiled! 

SPOILERS FOR ISLA AND THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER BELOW


So first off, it's Eye-la not Izla as I thought when I read Anna and the French Kiss. Second, yay I was right her love interest is Josh. I shipped them together before I even started the book. And then I read the first few pages. And then I totally fell in love with them as a couple. 
Stephanie's books are the perfect combination of funny, cliche, cute and adorable. When I say cliche I mean it in the adorably cute manor. Like for funny- Isla had flicked a pen into Josh's head, I was laughing so hard at that. 
I loved Kurt and Isla's on going joke thing like assrabbit, assweed, etc. I found it humorous. Please excuse me for saying stuff like adorable, aww, cute and lol continuously in this review, I just can't help the feels.
Isla is such an adorably awkward character in the beginning, very shy and meek, to scared to actually talk to Josh but Josh brings out a more.... brave side in her. I knew that Josh thought that Isla and Kurt were dating which is why I'm glad they cleared that problem away from like page 30. 
I thought Kurt might like Isla because he really didn't like Josh and he wouldn't come back to the tree house after he found out Josh had been in it, but apparently he just felt like Josh was stealing Isla from him, which I understand. 
We didn't really hear too much about Josh in Anna because Anna was more concentrated on St. Clair, we just knew he was an artist, had been going out wish Rashmi, was a year younger and screamed when he saw thin mints. (Pretty much) but we get to know him much better in this book, which I liked. So my book says it has cameos with Anna, St. Clair, Lola and Cricket, uh actually they only personally show up once which disappointed me because I was waiting a while to see them and we only see them once! :( But that once was good enough, we'll get to that later though. 
It was interesting to see that this was happening between Josh and Isla at the same time as Lola and the Boy Next Door takes place, I laughed when Josh got that text from Etienne about actually getting a job. Before I forget to mention it- I love Etienne and Josh's friendship and their on going joke about being in love with each other (Don't tell Anna but I bought one for you too or something like that) 
By the Angel, I thought that Josh and Isla's date was so cute, their first date is the one I'm talking about if you couldn't figure out. Their first kiss was on page 87 and I was drowning in the feels, and a second later Josh's chin slams into Isla's nose and it starts bleeding, then I was dying of laughter. 
Is it wrong that I find it adorable that they have the same favorite dessert? (Creme brûlée) I found this whole book adorable, to be honest, I wouldn't say Josh is swoon worthy in a Jace Herondale/Daemon Black way but he's an adorable (there I keep saying it! Sorry!) guy who loves romance which I love him for. I also love that he loves (Oh dear Raziel I am going to be saying 'love' a lot too, apologies) art and is good at it, I appreciate art. 
They said the 3 word, 9 letter saying on page 146, and no it was not I hate you, lol. And then Kurt comes in and ruins the moment, I was laughing so hard at that, he can join the walking in at the wrong time club along with Alec and Leon. 
When Isla and Josh were talking about college and Kurt was being a jerk about it I literally whacked myself really hard in the head with the book, which hurt because it's a hardcover. 
I think we all knew that Isla and Josh were going to get caught, I just didn't actually think he'd get kicked out of the school, it was rather depressing when he got kicked out, don't you think? "Let's start with it." AWWWW Josh W. is such a cutie. I don't get why, well, I do get why, Isla freaked out Josh saying he didn't have a girlfriend, but it was obvious he was just saying it for the reporters, I mean, if I can figure it out, so can she and it took her a while to. 
When he gave her his comic I was just in a state of aww, but then she got all jealous of him and Rashmi and I was tempted to hit myself in the head with the book again because she's being really stupid it's the past, Isla, your his future. She got jealous of the past, even though she knew him and Rashmi had been together for a long time. I was kind of disappointed Rashmi didn't meet up with them all though, she, Mer and Anna seemed pretty close at the end of Anna and the French Kiss, I would've liked to see her again. 
These books are so realistically embarrassing you can't help but feel embarrassed when Isla is talking to Josh about the 'rabbits' or Anna is getting all lovely with St. Clair- excuse me- Etienne. 
I was probably almost as distraught as Josh and Isla were when they broke up, but not as distraught because I knew they'd get back together, Steph couldn't just leave the book with them separated it's not her style, which is one of the many reasons why I love her books so much. Though, I'll admit when Josh didn't come to the cafe I was upset but kinda expecting it. 
I had mixed feelings about Hattie, but I ended up liking her in the end of the book, as you probably know why. When Josh called her and said he was with some friends I was flipping out because that could only mean one thing- THIS IS THE MOMENT I'D BEEN WAITING FOR ANNA LOLA CRICKET ETIENNE ARE ALL HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!- Yeah then I also got a ton load of the feels too because well, JOSH WAS IN PARIS! I was on a blissful high when they were all at the pizzeria, too bad it ended so soon, but then 
ETIENNE PROPOSED TO ANNA ON POINT ZERO A VITAL POINT IN ANNA AND HIS'S RELATIONSHIP!! I was DYING literally of the feels there, okay maybe not literally but that was where I got the most feels in the book, I'm not even kidding I screamed in excitement. It was too bad that part was pretty much the last we saw of them besides their brief appearance on TV. I want more or them Steph! But that was really good, I won't lie, I was not expecting that I knew Anna and Etienne were forever but I didn't think I'd get to see them engaged so THANK YOU STEPH! 
Aw but then Josh gave her the last part of his comic and told her to call him when she finished reading it, and while she was reading it I was still getting over the AnnaxEtienne feels but I still thought it was adorable but Josh was WAITING OUTSIDE IN THE COLD FOR HER TO BE DONE afwnoifropbfjeguvefhihvfuwfbkfvfwiwh too cute. Their romance was just such an adorable relationship that you can't help but fall in love with, just like all of Stephanie's books, I seriously recommend it if you ignored my warnings and read this even though you haven't read these books. Anyway I'll see you guys next time :) 
(My book talk video should be up soon ;) 

Aren't the covers beautiful? SO much better than the original covers.  So these books aren't exactly a SERIES but you have to read Anna and the French Kiss first or you'll be spoiled about it in Lola and the Boy Next Door, same with Isla and the Happily Ever After. These books are funny, entertaining and just a fun read all together. 
Here's the synopsis for Anna 

Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris--until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming,beautiful, Étienne has it all...including a serious girlfriend. 

But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss?

And here is it for Lola

Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion...she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit--more sparkly, more fun, more wild--the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.

When Cricket--a gifted inventor--steps out from his twin sister’s shadow and back into Lola’s life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.

THESE BOOKS are AMAZING. Even though you know what's going to happen somehow it still makes you want to read it. The character's voices are great and I loved the characterization. They're great for if you're getting over an intense book like Requiem, Opposition, or City of Heavenly Fire.  
So GO READ THESE BOOKS THEY ARE A MUST READ. I would rate them 10/10 stars and THAT is a VERY good review coming from me. 

SPOILERS FOR ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS BELOW


So when Mer was talking to St.Clair about Ellie she kept getting short answers, I was immediately suspicious. Pretty much everyone loves St. Clair, Ellie, Mer, Anna, Amanda, etc. Speaking of Amanda, even reading her lines was so annoying for me. 
It was also evident pretty quickly that St. Clair defiantly like Anna. But he was with Ellie... Interesting fact the last two romance-y novel books by different authors that I read both had like Ellie and I ending friendships. It's rather depressing. I didn't LIKE Ellie in this book at all. Not because of Anna's jealousy but because she has all these friends back at SOAP and now that she's in college she's 'better' than them now. Like, um, no. 
I was laughing when St. Clair gave Anna the Canadian Flag, it was just too good. Aw but when St. Clair asked her if she still like Toph it was because he liked her, and when she said yes he look hurt. 
I found it funny that Anna reviews movies and takes notes after because I review books and sometimes movies and I take notes while I read the books. 
Haha, St. Clair used my favorite insult, 'Wanker' 
When St. Clair and Anna slept together it was so hilariously awkward, I was laughing quietly on the plane ride back to Iceland. 
"Well. Open your eyes." adnbwnfscpgjrlwkbn SO CUTE
It was sad how strained their friendship got for a while after Ellie got back... But then Anna slept in and she changed while St. Clair was in the room, so funny, I was practically dying of laughter at that part. 
Then he called Anna his pregnant girlfriend 😂
I get so bad for Anna when she got home and found that Bridge was dating Toph and then they were fighting, as I've said many times I HATE WATCHING FRIENDSHIPS BREAK APART. 
"I'm packing throwing stars right now." Aww that's so cute, lol. 
Matt was really sweet to Anna, too, and that earns him points because they broke up and yet he was still nice to her and all. 
I LOVED St. Clair and Anna's emails over Christmas, it was so much fun to read. But then when she got back and realized she was in love with St. Clair, she was HORRIBLE at hiding it. 
Josh screaming when he sees the Thin Mints 😂 
I knew that they were going to do something stupid when they were drunk, Anna's one of those people that when they get drunk they don't remember anything. I am astonished at the fact of Anna and St. Clair were able to fix their friendship even after all their fights about Ellie. 
I found two spelling errors in the first line of chapter 36 it says bad instead of had and in the first line of chapter 37 it says St. Chai ins tread of St. Clair. 
When Anna and St. Clair were making out, I was just thinking what's going to happen after this?? 
I felt so bad for Anna when she got a detention for standing up for Mer. But then she finds out that St. Clair broke up with Ellie and she YELLED at him about that... #awkward. 
Then when they finally get together I was just like FINALLY and this book had one of the cutest endings I've ever read. 
I'm giving this book a 10/10 stars, perfect. I loved it. 

SPOILERS FOR LOLA AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR BELOW


I LOVED that Anna and St. Clair were in this book, it just made it all the better. I knew, as we all did, that Cricket was the real love interest here, I mean, it's called Lola and the Boy Next Door not Lola and the Punk Rock Boyfriend. I really wanted to know WHAT HAPPENED between Cricket and Lola that made Lola HATE him so much. Like why does he feel so bad, what did Cricket do? Nothing, and that's why Lola disliked him, kind of. But reading about their little relationship was adorable. Then you read about how they 'broke up' :( 
I felt so bad for Cricket when he asked her out and then Max showed up :( Okay then you read about St. Clair getting job to work for his and Anna's future and you totally forget about Cricket asking Lola out. 
"And your right pants" 😂
  What Calliope did wasn't nice, but I understand why she did it. I wouldn't want to loose my best friend to a boy/girl friend either. Cricket telling Lola he likes her for the second time aihfswvjkbwfoihv SO CUTE!!! <3
I didn't like how Lola could be so rude sometimes, like when Anna and Etienne came to see Max's show for Lola and then she just leaves immediately after. 
"I get the strangest sense he's thanking someone." Maybe he made a wish for Lola to like him. 
I had no idea what connection, besides Lola, Norah had to everyone so when I found out she was Nathan sister I was just like 'ohhhh' 
Max was so annoying, passive and angry, I just wanted Lola to dump him and get with Cricket already. Then Cricket took her home when he had that big project he needed to do advfjbvubf
Yay, when she came to visit Cricket and he kicked Jessica out for her that was cute. All of these books are 'cute'. 
So Max is becoming more and more of an arse hat as the book goes on and I don't understand why Lola didn't just dump him then and there. 
So Lola has an interesting style sense, not one that I would wear but it's cool that she can express herself through her clothes. Then Cricket comes into her room and her dad comes in so Cricket is hiding under her bed while her dad talks about him 😂
"If the person is... Lola?"
"Only if the other person is Cricket." aivnd the feels! the feels! 
then she gives him the wrench 💕
 I like how protective Calliope is over Cricket, I wish my sister was like that. 
So I was reading Anna and Lola while flying home on my kindle fire and since it's the first gen. kindle fire it won't charge in the 9 hour flight SO I'm 92% into Lola and the Boy Next Door and guess when it decides to shut town? Yeah, I was pissed about that. 
So after I'm able to charge my kindle in the two hour car ride back to the house I got to finish it :) 
I liked how she sewed Calliope's suit. It was nice of her. 
Cricket's story was so cute, but it reminded me a little too strongly of Liam in the Darkest Minds before... 
PRE DANCE WAS SO CUTEEEE
9.5/10 stars the beginning was slow and I didn't like Lola as much as I liked Anna. 
So Isla and the Happily Ever After comes out in 13 days. I don't know anything about it. I'm guessing that Isla will have a romance with Josh since they're both seniors now as SOAP but IDK. I guess we'll see.
