Lily needs our book help and this one sounds like allllllllll sorts of romance turmoil and trouble!!! 😀

She asks:

Hey,

I am searching for a book.

The story starts with the girl attending her mother’s funeral. Then she goes to live with her half-brother (who was given up for adoption) and his best friend. The best friend is a chemistry teacher at the school she enrolls.

And they kinda start falling for each other.

Book Review – Frayed by Layne Deemer

By 3 Comments

Frayed <— GAH!! I just read an amazing book that I was SO into from start to finish. This was a debut novel? GET. OUT. I can’t even believe it. FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. R. Renee came to us screaming “YOU” vibes and boy was she right!!!! But it’s not at ALL the same story. I promise. Though that feel is JUST right.

AND what’s best of all? We BUDDY READ it!!! Group read of freak-outs & reactions!! LOL!

R. Renee: Guys!! This is Layne’s debut psych thriller. Some of you know her from the GR PFM challenge group. I started it this morning and I can’t put it down!! I went in blind so I have no idea what’s coming but at 16% it’s giving me serious YOU vibes! read more

Kitty Thomas – Pleasure House Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

Queen of super-dark reads (and I mean these can get DARK!!), and a new book in this series just went LIVE!!! 😀 P.S. This is the author of my beloved dark-favorite “Comfort Food” (although it’s not part of this series).

Anna: I read Guilty Pleasures by Kitty Thomas about a year ago. I remember it wasn’t quite as dark as I’d expected, but there were definitely some interesting twists and turns. It is one of those books that I still remember a lot about even a year later, and for someone like me who reads a million books and has a shifty memory that is probably saying something 🙂 read more
