Kathy needs our book help! I don’t have a ton of bully-book experience (other than how much I enjoyed “The Paper Princess“), but I don’t think that’s the one she’s looking for.

She asks:

Hi Maryse

…looking for help finding a book I can’t remember title or author.

It was about 2 brothers, high school age who kind of bully their neighbor girl who’s also high school age. They annoy her by having pool parties because their mom I believe is a nurse and works nights. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The forbidden love book about the teens that fell in love and their parents wiped their memories…

By 5 Comments

Jennifer has this reader question for us! Oooooh sounds like a star-crossed lovers and a little Romero & Julietish but with powers (or maybe vampires?). 😉

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

Love your blog.

I am stuck, I read a series a long time ago about a young group of kids with power (think some vampires).

There were different families that people were born from and the main character was a girl. She fell in the love with a guy but they couldn’t be together so the parents wiped their memories but they fell in love again. read more

Renee needed our book help, and I was able to guess it right off, but I thought I’d post it since I loved this book and maybe you will too?

She asked:

What’s the book where the girl gets into trouble and gets sentenced to South Africa to work in an orphanage?

Falls in love with a guy who works there.

Any ideas?!

Renee: Maryse yes! Thank you! It’s been driving me crazy! read more
