While I was invested in to story, it was mainly because of the author’s writing style rather than the story itself. It felt a it hurried and rushed; one minute something is going on and the next we’re at a different scene. I felt that there was some chunks missing from the story. 

Hilary is a sweet, lovable character but at the same tome, she’s too argumentative and I found that quite off-putting cause, to me, I didn’t feel that that fit her personality at all. Grayson was harder to get invested in. Although I like the characters to have a bit of mystery, I found his was lacking in something. The characters all felt a bit flat and boring but I did like Freddy, though he acted more like a toddler at times, I did enjoy reading his character. I felt her parents were also a bit OTT when Hilary made a ‘mistake’. Really, no parents act like that in real life. They were quite mean. I mean, who doesn’t feed their child just because they did something all teenagers experience at least once? 

I did like the story concept, I thought it was quite sweet; the secrecy between Grayson and Hilary and the moments they shared together. I loved their budding relationship but the book was so rushed that, to me, it seemed too quick and hectic. 

There were some parts of the story that didn’t add up for me at all, a lot of contradictions and head-scratching moments that was hard to move past. 

I really enjoyed the ending though was super confused at where Hilary and Freddy were before the formal. I didn’t feel that scene was especially necessary. But I loved what Grayson did on stage, boy, I did not see that coming! *Chuckle*

This is the first story I’ve read from Belle Brooks and though I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wished, I do feel her writing itself has major potential, the story just needs to be less rushed and hectic. I’ll certainly be reading future books from this author, especially YA, I love YA.

~*BOOK REVIEW*~ The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver Add to #Goodreads TBR: http://bit.ly/2Jk71uL #BuyLinks: Releasing MAY 16!! Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2E6OUUZ Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/30hFzmE 3 *** This was a great step up from the last book I read from this author, but still no where near his best. I know he can produce phenomenal stories.. this isn’t one of them. Though the last quarter of the book was gripping, exciting and in a way, fun.  I liked Colter Shaw, but I didn’t like the fact that he never smiled, he was cold as hell (when he should be a bit friendlier to certain people) and little dense. Maddie’s character though, urgh, what a drab. I didn’t like her personality and she was way too strong.  But Standish made a fabulous character. Absolutely adored her work ethics and her personality. She was the best character throughout.  The storyline was a good one, though this author likes to jump from scene to scene with abs

But, nevertheless, I dived into this book with an open mind, plus I LOVE psychological thrillers, and this story is written exactly as a psychological thriller should be written. The back and forth, leaving the reader in suspense, is exactl what I love about this genre. So in other words, if you don't like the genre don't bother reading. Simple as. Back to my review... It was intense story throughout, with both a female and male POV, which was great. I liked the going back so many years then flitting back to the present. It definitely keeps us readers on our toes that's f

~*BOOK REVIEW*~ Little White Lies by Philippa East Add to Goodreads TBR: http://bit.ly/2qdiqVj Pre-order Links: RELEASING February 4, 2020! Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2r1JV44 Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2D0mBWZ 5 ***** This book has to be my second most favourite book I've ever read. It's incredibly insightful and cleverly put together. This author knows how to keep her readers hooked to every word, every page and every detail. My mind has officially been blown with this psychological thriller. And it's definitely one I recommend if you love twists and turns, cleverness and tenseness. This story has it ALL. Anne, Abigail, Jess, Lillian, Robert, Fraser, Preston, Laurie & Sam, were all FANTASTIC characters. Preston wasn't mentioned so much, but as Abigail's father, I thought to include him in the list. Laurie & Sam too, Abigail's little twin brothers because they had a small impact later in the book. Abi
