No, no, NO. This was supposed to be a Triple Win for me.There are two Sloane Jacobs. One of them is an ice-skater... The other one plays hockey...They are unhappy with their lives and when they meet, decide to do a Parent Trap/The Pauper and The Prince thing.Starts OK, but when they meet, they have ...
I feel like I was more excited about this one in the abstract than I actually was in terms of the book. Partly this is because I didn’t connect well with the characters, and didn’t feel super invested in the plot despite the marching band on a cruise ship setup. I did finish it, for whatever that’s ...
Note: I received this book for free from Publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I was not paid to write this. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I truly wanted to love The Trouble with Destiny by Lauren ...
This review was originally posted on Bookish Things & MoreQuickie ReviewI really enjoyed The Trouble with Destiny. It's fun, awkward, and shows that you don't have to have control over every little thing.The control aspect is what Liza, our main character, has trouble with most. She is trying to ma...
If I would have to describe The Trouble With Destiny in one sentence it would be: A easy, entertaining cute & fluffy that's predictable in all the best ways. Predictable is THE word for the story line. It's extremely predictable. It goes from A to B to C. None of the twists will surprise anyon...
I liked the story line of the book, but I hate the main character Julia. She's seems very weak and boy crazy for a 17 year old. I don't like it when girls freak out because a guy talks to her. I understand the need to write a nerdy girl character with low self esteem. But I feel like Julia's cha...
I don't think any book that is so steeped in sports can get any more charming than Being Sloane Jacobs! After I closed that book, I was just sitting there with a silly grin on my face. No kidding. I wanted to hug the book to sleep. It was that adorable. And yet I totally got into the sports parts. T...
"It's not MTB. It's better."ASDFGHJKL!! THIS BOOK UGHHHH! It's so easy to fall in love with this book! Most of the time, I feel like I'm Julia. Probably because I'm a sucker for reading and daydreaming about my perfect guy and all those fairytale-esque standards that I tend to be blinded by what's i...
This book was just cute. It is The Parent Trap cute. Lindsay Lohan-before-she-became-a-coke-addict cute. There is not much substance to the story or its characters, it is generic, it is inoffensive, but damned if I didn't have a huge grin on my face as I was reading it. It is a feel-good book. If y...
This review and others are posted at Inspiring Insomnia.One of the most important aspects of a dual narrative novel should be creating and maintaining unique voices for the narrators. Being Sloane Jacobs failed by this count, and it made it even harder to enjoy this lightweight story. It may as wel...
