My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick | Book Review

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick | Book Review

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick was a book that caught me by surprise. I LOVED it! When I first started reading My Life Next Door, I thought it was going to be reminiscent of Judy Bloom’s Forever or similar to The Infinite Moment of Us by Lauren Myracle. But, as the story progressed, it moved past the teen romance element and into something much more intense. Fitzpatrick incorporated romance, moral dilemmas, and friendship dynamics. By around the 200-page mark, I could not put the book down. I was so engrossed in the storyline, I had to see what was going to happen.

Let it Snow" by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle | Book Review

Let it Snow" by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle | Book Review

Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle is a phenomenal book. I absolutely loved it! Each author contributed their own story and was able to intertwine the narratives to make the book feel flawless. Instead of reading three separate stories, they overlapped in many ways from tone, humor, and characters.

The Best Girl by Emma Harrison was originally published by HarperCollins in 2008. But, I just came across this particular book. The title, The Best Girl, is in reference to the fact that Farrah is going to be her brother’s best man at his wedding. Rather than be the best man, she is the best girl.

Anna and the French Kiss | Series Review

Anna and the French Kiss | Series Review

Stephanie Perkins wrote an amazing trilogy. Technically, Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door, and Isla and the Happily Ever After could be stand-alone novels, but they are exceptionally well written and superbly executed by Perkins, reserving the right (in my opinion) to be read in order. If you are like me, you need to read them from start to finish beginning with Anna and the French Kiss.

A Little Something Different | Book Review

A Little Something Different | Book Review

A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall is exactly that, something different. What separates this novel from other books on the shelf is the ability to interweave a narrative from fourteen different viewpoints in regards to one love story. The character perspectives include a waitress at a nearby restaurant, a Starbucks’ barista, a squirrel, a bench, the love interests’ roommates and friends, their creative writing professor, bus driver, and two fellow creative writing students.
