WE ARE STILL TORNADOES is a coming-of-age young adult novel that centers around two best friends, Cath and Scott. What Michael Kun and Susan Mullen did wonderfully was capturing the beauty of friendship and the importance of having that special someone to lean on when life ...
Book Review – The Wedding Sisters by Jamie Brenner
Jamie Brenner's The Wedding Sisters is a contemporary family drama centering around the rocky road to three sisters' weddings and their mother's desperation to make it all happen without a hitch. This book was really fun to read. While the plot itself is a little ...
Book Review – Wicked Heart by Leisa Rayven
Leisa Rayven knows how to write romantic chemistry between her heroes and heroines, for sure. I was buying what she was selling on that front. However, the reason given as to why Liam broke it off—and why they weren't together in the present—with Liss seemed really flimsy ...
Book Review – The Violinist of Venice by Alyssa Palombo

Book Review – Bad Romeo by Leisa Rayven
Book Review: Bad Romeo is literary book crack. When I found time to read, I couldn't put this book down. I had to see what happened to our starcrossed lovers, Ethan and Cassie. While this book had a few things that I didn't like, I still enjoyed this book and the insane ...
Book Review – Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
Book Review: If I could use one word to describe this story, it would be "adorable". Eleanor and Park fell in love on the bus listening to '80's music and reading comic books. Can it get any cuter than that? I submit that it cannot! Told in alternating points-of-view, ...
