5 stars - So real for each other, they can't fake it!

Yep, I fell for Cade.  I hadn't given him much thought in Losing It so I wasn't sure how I'd like his story.  But let me tell you, this boy is golden.  Hehe. That's what Max calls him, Golden Boy.  He calls her Angry Girl.  Loved that about this book.  Cade really isn't perfect or golden, instead he is heart broken.  He loved Bliss, or he thought he did and she chose Garrett.  He let her go.  That's what he does - he lets people go.  He doesn't fight for things and he's miserable.  He can't get over her and he really doesn't want to be around once Garrett announces he's proposing. Enter the very messed up Max.  She's fighting for her music career and seems fearless.  So not what she is.  She's afraid of losing her parents support.  She's afraid of her emotions she keeps carefully behind her armor.  She's afraid of being who she is.  Cade challenges her on it.  He sees who she is and demands she be that person.  And in return, Max steals his heart.

Both of these characters were so real for me.  I could totally see the tough Max hiding from the pain in her past and desperate to hold on to the one thing that makes her sane - her music.  I could totally see the perfect (not) Cade who was just trying to distract himself from the pain in his heart.  Together, I loved them.  I screamed at them.  I wanted to shake them.  I cheered for them.

I started this book on the plane to BEA.  It was only the need to out of that plane that had me putting it down - was that a four hour flight? Really?  I read at every opportunity, sneaking in a few pages whenever I could.  I still finished it in a couple of days even if I was at BEA.  It's a one sitting kinda book, really.

Can I just say that the anit-Christ, Bethany sister-in-law to Max is...well she's the anti-Christ.  Truly she is.  What a fabulous secondary character.  I totally wanted to kill her just like Max.  Oh, and there was this one point where Max has the best holiday memory EVVERRR and I wanted to cheer.  My boy Cade did the BEST job of putting that anti-Christ in her place.  You are my hero, Cade.

Did I say that I LOVED reading from the alternating POVs? So good.  I love getting both sides of the story and will always love being inside the guys head.  Cade is a little different in that he doesn't go after what he wants.  I loved knowing what he was thinking and what changed that process for him.

I loved the "there's more to this story than you see" aspect of this book.  Yeah, you can totally see that Max is broken and she is only with Mace (seriously - that's his name) for the hot drummer thing but she hides some deep stuff that no one sees.  What's perfect is that it's Cade that breaks down those walls and sees who she is.  He sees it in her music.  Interesting that others haven't noticed what she's hide in plain sight.  Fabulous character development.

If you read and loved Losing It, then this is a must read.  If you haven't read Losing It yet, where have you been? Get on that and then this one! Seriously, Cora is that bright new star and I love her writing and her books.  She is kicking the NA scene all kinds of ways.  You will love this book - hard.  Get it.

Man oh man! I'm just so blown away! I don't know how I feelangry, happy, frustrated, anxious and hopeful?? I was hooked from the very first page to the last... and man, I wasn't expecting that twist... friggin brilliant!

This... this is why I love to read. This, right here is a great story. It's gripping... and exciting... and each page just kept on getting juicier... each page just kept on getting better and better.

It's been a long couple of months since I really gushed about a book... Sure, I've read some pretty awesome books, and I've given some of them 5-stars... but if could give this one more than that, I definitely would.

I couldn't put the book down to save my life... My heart and my head kept on saying, "Just one more chapter"and then bam! The next thing I know, it's already 3am and I've already finished it... pulled an all nighter with this one. Sure, I look like the walking dead right now, but who cares?? It was all worth it!

The blurb alone is enticing... and would definitely get you curious... and of course, anxious at the same time. I told myself to keep an open-mind.

I don't condone cheating or stepping-out in a relationship. I've been there... I've been cheated on... It's devastating not only to your mental, physical and emotional health but to your whole humanity... That being said and put out there, I'd like ya'll to reserve judgment on the all the characters in this book until the end. There is more to Charlie, Cameron and Reese...

Gaaaah! This book made me tear up. I didn't want to, but it was written so vividly... I felt the heartbreak, the longing, the disappointment, the regret, the passion... I felt the resentment... the stregth and I felt the love... I felt everything.

Reading this reminded me of those pretty epic modern love-triangles I came across through-out the years... there was Cathy, Ben and Arsen from Mia Asher; there was Kellan, Kiera and Denny from S.C. Stephens; then there was Emily, Gavin and Dillon from Gail McHugh... and of course, who could forget Dahlia, River and Ben from Kim Karr?? Everyone loves to read a good drama...

This is by far Ms. Steiner's best work as of date, and I cant wait to get some answers to my questions and read the conclusion to this epic love story.

I think I fell in love with this book! The entire story stole my heart from beginning to end! It shows that love can win in any circumstances! This is the BEST contemporary's I have read this year. The characters are easy to connect with and we all go through this stage. I loved the plot, characters, the romance between Sam and Jase. I was very excited to read this book when I first saw the cover because it really one of my top favorite covers that I could stare at all day. My Life Next Door was dramatic with its ups and downs and left me wanting more of Sam & Jase's story. This is the perfect summer read! Its a definite re-read!

Throughout the entire novel which is told from Samantha's 's point of view, which was really well written. I loved how she described this summer and to even finally meet her HOT next door neighbor Jase and his big family which consists of altogether 8 children + 2 parents. I loved their family dynamic because sometimes it would sound like my family but with 4 less kids. From the first moment we meet Jase Garrett is the falling in love moment because he is handsome and would do anything with Samantha. It was adorable reading about them and the progress of their relationship throughout the entire book with their ups and downs. Jase is down to earth, friendly, protective, loves animals and sexy in his own way! The Garrett family is one everyone can connect with because many families now a days have big families. I loved all the children! George was soo cute!!

Sam is very independent and doesn't rely on her mother for anything in the book, until near the end. I found Sam mother to be stuck up and her initial reaction of when the Garrett's first move in 10 years ago still is there. Compared to Sam who used to look out her window and want to be a part of the craziness. Compared to her family which consists of her sister Tracy and her mom. We also see Samantha's moms boyfriend Clay who also is in the novel. It was up to date with all the events that were going on during the summer it takes place and the scene was perfect to imagine. I was on the edge during some of the book and it was worth it because it is a AWESOME book!!  Huntley Fitzpatrick is one talented writer who knows how to create a memorable book for young adults because this one is the perfect read.

The plot was great, it was never boring and I loved how Huntley shows that beginning of Samantha's and Jase relationship, there isn't the insta-love, it developed at a normal pace which every couple does grow through. It was romantic how Jase and Samantha fell in love. Their relationship allows us to see also the changes that come along the way once Samantha meets Jase, he has opened up the world to her. As the obstacles come into place Samantha and Jase's relationship is tested at the hardest times. It was emotional at times but I was rooting for these two to come together. These two are soo cute!! As rating the novel there is not many swearing and there is a little sexuality (not graphic) and some other things that teenagers do on weekends.

I love the writing! Huntley is by far up on the list of favorite writers, she is soo sweet and friendly, I would love to meet her. My Life Next Door is brilliant and I know its one book that I will re-read over and over again!! I am looking forward to Huntley's future books. I recommend this book to anyone!! I was very happy with the end. Characters were amazing and the plot was very well developed! With this book you can read it in one day. Perfect summer read and you will also love this book! Be sure to buy this one!!

WHAT. EVEN. WAS. THIS. BOOK????

I am taken aback by how much I loved it. During this Gallagher Girls binge reading I have been updating some of my friends in group texts and I didn't have any time to update them during this book, because I was too busy crying over EVERYTHING.

The friendships, plot, characters, family dynamics--everything gets bigger and better and I JUST COULDN'T GET ENOUGH. It was amazing and I am very eager to get to the final book.

I did guess some things beforehand though [i.e. that the necklace was the key, that this song was maybe used for a hypnosis (especially after Catherine started humming it in the caves); I had guessed earlier in book 2 that Dr. Steve was the bad guy and lmao he truly showed his colours in this book. I MEAN??? NO ONE WHO LETS AND WANTS THEMSELVES TO BE CALLED DR. STEVE CAN BE DECENT, RIGHT? Also, I guessed about Preston's dad, because it was just to "convenient"] but idk all of these things didn't take away from the book, it was actually hella lot fun to get confirmation about some of my theories.

One more thing: WHY HAVEN'T THESE BOOKS BEEN MADE INTO MOVIES YET??????

I absolutely fell in love with this story. I was sucked into the story from page one and read it straight through. I can't believe I inhaled it so fast, but the story is just so captivating, the writing so awesome, that I was transported into the story living it right along with Isa. Isa is a beautiful inside and out girl who is coming into her own, beginning to discover herself and has such strength and determination to have held up as well as she has under her family circumstances. I also adore her totally cool Gran and her even cooler, free-spirited cousin. I really would like to throw a few punches at Lynn and her evil prodigy. I think her father is a coward and kind of a douche and I really want to know what is up with that. I absolutely LOVE Kai and will be very impatiently awaiting the next book in the series, The Year of Falling in Love. Really? Just the title feels like a cliffhanger to me. ARGH!! Plus with the actual info that Kai holds at the very end has me wondering, wondering. Please write fast Jessica!, And thank you for writing this amazing story. I was generously given a complimentary copy of this book for an honest review.

I absolutely fell in love with this book!!! I couldn't read fast enough to find out how it ended...yet I wanted to read slowly for it not to be over. So thankful to have found this author!!!

Jess & Scott were each other's first love. When the two went their separate ways they never found the all consuming love that they shared together.  They both married other people and had children. They both are divorced and now single. They run into each other at a brunch where they are supposed to meet their child's fianc's parents...her son, his daughter. The connection that the two had all those years ago was still there as strong as ever. Will the two of them risk a second chance? Will there children support their relationship? Will fate step in and end the possibility for happiness before it even has a chance to try?
Don't miss out on this book!!! It was fantastic!!

What an amazing book I went through every emotion during this read my heart broke for both characters because of all that they went through . I loved Barb and Viper they were such a great couple had off the charts chemistry even though the h fought it with a good reason I still wanted to forgive him for her but it was understandable why and when she agrees to go out to dinner with him I was super giddy . When we find out the pain that the h went through I felt like crying it was truly gut wrenching. Barb is such a cool leading lady she's no pushover , funny, beautiful ,and confident . Now Viper was super hot and swoon worthy I literally wanted to jump his bones he tries so hard for the h to forgive him . I'm such a huge fan of this author I can't wait to read more from .

5+ FREAKING FANTASTIC STARS!!!!

OH MY GAWD! OH MY GAWD! OH MY GAWD!!!
I just finished reading what I have to say is my favorite of the year! It's also going on my all time favorites list! Somebody please tell me where K.A. Linde has been all my life? I heard people call her the queen of angst, but I had no idea! No idea! I'm fangirling over her right now! I starting reading this book on a whim last night around 9 and read almost non stop until 5 am because I could not stop reading.

I've read plenty of bad boy/ good girl stories before, but not like this! Grant is a bad boy lead singer of a band who does whatever and whoever he wants and Aribel is a very good girl dedicated to studying and follow her plan for life. What I loved most is the way that they came together seemed realistic and not like every other book I've read. There are moments where I was laughing. Their banter was so funny.

"If I won't see you here, what makes you think I would drive to New York City to see you?"
"Because it's the city that never sleeps, and neither will you."

Grant also has plenty of swoon worthy moments.

"Are you going to sing for me?"
"Tonight"
"You're singing for the whole lodge tonight."
"I'll only be thinking about you."

SWOON!

I loved every moment of this book. It did not slow down one time. I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. It's that amazing! I cannot believe I haven't heard more about this book. I know one thing I'm telling all my friends! Do yourself a favor and devour this book like I did!

I fell in love with this book from page one. It captures you and doesn't let you go. I am reading book 2 ASAP!!!!

Wow, i  mean seriously wow, i have just finished this book and i am just speachless... My brain cant quite cpme up with a way to describe how utterly amazing this book is, its the best book i have read this year if not longer, my heart is still pounding from the experience of reading this!
The first thing i need to say about this book is that it is not what i thought it was going to be, not in the slightest. Reading from the start i was hooked but it went to many different directions that surprised and shocked me every time but kept me smiling at the change of pace and direction, i like to be kept guessing and this book certainly delivered, right up until the end. The storyline in this book is so creative and imaginative, i am in awe of the imagination that this comes from so its now my mission to read ALL of Lindsey Louck's book, especially if they effect me like this one did, there comes a time when you read a book and when it finishes you cant get it out of your mind, scenes are still replaying in your mind and you just know that they will for a long time to come, well this is one of those... i don't want to leave the amazing world that is contruction in this book. It is filled with so many emotions, from all the characters and you can easily see yourself in their shoes making the same decisions. There is fear of discovery and loss of something that you don't realise how much you want until its nearly too late, the heart pounding feeling of discovery of another kind, care and love for those around you.... i could talk about this book all frickin day and still be able to say so much about it but i don't want to give anything away in this adrenaline rushing book.
Absidy...OMG i love her so so much! She is such a brave strong woman, one that we could all take something from. She always does things with the biggest of hearts and every decision she makes, she does what she believes is right to keep those she loves safe. She grows so much throughout this book and you live it with her, making you feel like you kow who she really is inside, her aims, her loves, the things that mean so much to her and the struggle she has had to live with her whole life and the fact she is still standing and fighting for what she believes in! I definately have a soft spot for Mace, he has also been through so much in his life, having the mental and physical scars to prove it but he also keeps on fighting every day to be the man that he wants to be not the man his experiences have made him, he loves freely with his whole heart when he gives it and will always do what he believes is right. These two characters are just two out of many in this book but they are all as well thought out and as passionate as these two, the love the author has put into these characters and this storyline comes across in every sentence.
I am so glad that i  voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book and found this author, i cannot express how much of a must read this book is, this is a book you must have in your library, its outstanding!!!

I fell in love with this book!!!

 OMG I loved Interference by Mignon Mykel and I feel it deserves 5+ stars! The book is about hockey star Caleb Prescott and new college graduate Sydney Meadows. Caleb and Sydney meet when Sydney's intern job asks her to be a casting assistant for a new reality dating tv show in which they would like Caleb to be the star. When Caleb first lays eyes on Sydney he knows she different from any other women he's ever met, when he first talks to her in person he knows he needs more. When Sydney first lays eye on Caleb she is instantly attracted to him but thinks that she isn't good enough for him. When Caleb agrees to be on the show he makes sure that Sydney is right there with him on this crazy reality dating show. While he is fighting off wandering hands from the crazy and aggressive women on the show he is also trying to convince Sydney that she is everything he has ever wanted. The production team doesn't make it easy for Caleb and Sydney and start messing with them.

 I can not express how much I loved this book. It is definitely one of my top choices for the year. I loved Caleb's character in this book, he was not your typical arrogant cocky pro athlete but a very sweet caring man. The author did an amazing job with the story and the writing of this book. The writing flows well and there are a few grammatical errors but nothing major. The story is written in first person through both Sydney's and Caleb's points of view. I hope that the author don't stop the series here but continues with all the Prescott siblings. I highly recommend this book to anyone over the age of 18 due to sexual content.

This book was soooo good!!!  I could not put it down!!!  So many different thoughts and emotions concerning a subject I knew little about were stirred up while reading this. It's been a while since I've touted a book to my friends as a must read,  but I have with this one.
