Now I have to be upfront, I do not like YA books, its a genre I avoid as much as possible, but I have a challenge to read a book from an author with the same initials as me and this feel into my lap. That being said, I really really enjoyed this book. I think it was so honest, and real, I think the ...

3.25 stars, and that's simply because of the ending. Unlike the other book I've read by the author, Perfect Chemistry, I wasn't as drawn into this. I liked certain parts more than others and the romance seemed to just appear between one chapter and the next but at the same time I kinda really like...

Opening Line: "I'd been waiting a year for this moment" I don’t generally read much YA stuff however Caleb and Maggie’s forbidden coming of age romance got to me and I found myself quite wrapped up in all their teenaged angst. I guess it was the unique story idea that first piqued my interest; tha...

Drunk driving, teenage angst and drama, but as always, with a tiny pinch of humor on the side. Simone Elkeles is one of my favorite authors after I read the Perfect Chemistry series. I had some high hopes for this one. Maggie's leg was damaged in the car accident that was caused by Caleb. Which made...

You know your Monday night is going downhill when you're stuck weeping over a cliffhanger.I mean, this is the last straw in the haystack. The last chocolate in the box. The icing on the cake. The hole in the piñata. I get that there will be cliffhangers. What I don't get is why only I ever seemed to...

4.5 starsNot the ending I would have expected...But I'm happy that there is a sequel and that I have it because if I had to wait...I don't even want to imagine what would have happened.Maggie and Caleb are cute and my heart broke a little bit throughout this read. I thought Caleb was the largest pha...
