Reader Question – The book about the young married couple and his rich family didn’t approve of her…

February 21, 2021 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Bewail needs our book help! ooooh marital strife ’cause of meddling family members, and then… *oooomph* at the end of her

She asks:

Hi Maryse,

I know your wonderful friends can help me out….

Am looking for a book about two teenage lovers who got married at a very young age. I think because the girl got pregnant. The boy’s rich family of course did not want the girl for their son.

As they struggled to make it on their own, the mother in law paid the girl to disappear leaving her son and lover behind. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book that was just released about the high school girl with a rough childhood…

November 18, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Ashley is looking for this book! And it rings a bell for me, BIG TIME!! Like… as if I highlighted a bit of the blurb on one of our recent release lists… but it’s also once of my favorite themes, so I can’t pinpoint it.

She asks:

Hi Maryse!

Heeeeeelllllpppp! I saw a book a few weeks ago for pre-order and made a note to remember it. I, of course, immediately forgot.

Then I saw it again this week on Facebook and it just came out! Believe it or not, I can’t find it again.

I know it’s about a high school girl with a rough childhood – maybe a neighbor she falls in love with?? Or maybe I’m making that part up. read more

Kevin Kwan – Crazy Rich Asians Trilogy Reading Order

October 7, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

I absolutely FELL IN LOVE with this movie (in fact, here’s my review), and I’m thrilled to know that there are two more books in the trilogy that follow the same characters! I LOVE THAT!!!! There was a reason this book (and movie) was a HUGE BLOCKBUSTER HIT!!

Because… this story is. AMAZING!!!!!

Maryse: I need this to play over and over again. This movie will be one of my happy-places. I just bought it so I can re-watch it to my heart’s content! 😃

Vanessa: Maryse, it’s one of mine too! I adore the whole movie—from the storyline to the setting to the characters…it’s fabulous from beginning to end! read more

Movie Review – Crazy Rich Asians

October 6, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Crazy Rich Asians <—- WITH ALL THE BUZZ about this one, it’s been on my TBR list (AND my to be watched list) list for awhile now. I one-clicked the book by by Kevin Kwan a year or so ago, and then Amazon told me that the movie was on an amazing rental-sale (for Prime Day/Prime month 😉 ), so I dove in!!!! AND OMG IT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY!!!!!! Absolutely stunning in all senses of the word.

Maryse: I AM HITTING ALL of the awesome movies today!!! CRAZY RICH ASIANS is FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! My heart is overflowing right now. MUST WATCH – the music is AMAZING too (or must read!!) read more

Reader Question – The book about the girl from the “wrong side of the tracks” that he broke up with, and now she’s famous…

October 4, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Lori needs our book help! I love it when opposites attract, and this one sounds like it’s got tons of heartbreak gathering into a potential second chance romance! I’m dying to know it too!

She asks:

Need help finding/remembering a book.

A LONG time ago, decades probably, I read a book about a high school girl “from the wrong side of the tracks.”  She and the football star fell in love but all his friends hated her, thinking she was using him to get out of her horrible life (no mother, drunk abusive father). read more
