Posted July 27, 2015 by Wendy in Reread, Reviews / 1 Comment

For my re-read reviews for the Re-read Challenge hosted by Kelly and Hannah, I’ll be adopting Kelly’s reread review format! When I First Read: I remember it vividly. I was in undergrad and I read it on a weekday and stayed up until 3 am finishing it! Since then I have reread it countless times. More than I can count. What I Remember: A sweeping epic romance that also made me sob uncontrollably every single time that I reread. Why I Wanted to Reread: It’s just […]

Mini Reviews (1): Audiobook edition

Posted July 22, 2015 by Wendy in Mini Reviews, Reviews / 9 Comments

This one was really interesting because I really wasn’t sure what to expect! The premise of The Naturals is that the FBI has a group of teens that are “naturals” at certain things. (To be honest, this part confused me a tad because I was like, are these abilities supernatural? Answer: no, they aren’t.) Cassie, our MC, is a natural profiler. She gets recruited and meets a cast of other teens who also have abilities such as a natural liar, natural with […]

Emmy and Oliver were best friends as kids and next door neighbors — until Oliver’s dad kidnapped him and everyone’s lives changed. Now, ten years later, he’s back. Everyone wants him to hate his dad […]

Why Did I Read? I really enjoyed the first and was interested to see what was in store for some of the other characters! My Thoughts: I was super intrigued to see how I was going to like reading from Josh’s POV. I mean, let’s be honest, he’s kind of a douche. But the thing is, he knows it and doesn’t try to make excuses for it. Also, in this one we get to see more of him and his […]

Review: Behind the Scenes by Dahlia Adler

Posted July 13, 2015 by Wendy in Reviews / 6 Comments

My Thoughts: I’ve always really enjoyed plots that involve celebs and Hollywood and this story was great! Ally is your normal teen girl except her best friend, Vanessa, is an actress and now new star of a teen show! Ally and Van couldn’t be more different but through it all they’ve been there for each other and best friends. I loved seeing how supportive they are of each other! Anyway, Ally and her family are struggling financially due to her father’s […]
