Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway

Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway

This review was originally written for my library’s blog, you can check out it’s original posting here! When Audrey Cuttler dumps her boyfriend Evan, self-involved jerk and lead singer of a band called The Do-Gooders, she never expected him to write a song about their breakup. And she definitely never expected it to get popular. […]

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

I’m sure you’ve all heard about Open Road Summer and it’s awesomeness (a.k.a Matt Finch). Well, I am here to confirm that the rumours are true! Open Road Summer is indeed, a great summer novel with one of the swooniest love-interests. For those too lazy to read the synopsis (which always includes myself), Open Road Summer centres around Reagan […]

Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg

Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg

When I first opened up this book, I knew I would love it. I’ve read my fair share of contemporary books and I can honestly say that Better off Friends is unique and nothing like I’ve read before. Basically, Better Off Friends is easily one of my favourite reads of 2014 and possibly ever. I recommend this one to contemporary lovers […]

Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

As one of Rainbow Rowell’s avid fans, I knew I needed to read Attachments to earn fully-fledged fangirl status and I’m so glad that I did. While Attachments is an adult romance (which I do not read often), it still had the elements of Rainbow’s writing that I love so much. Lincoln works for a newspaper company, reading […]

Ask Again Later by Liz Czukas

Ask Again Later by Liz Czukas

I always start my contemporary reviews stating “you guys know how much I love contemporaries, right? So when I heard about *book title*, I knew I had to get my hands on it.” I guess this calls for a better introduction. Here goes nothing: Do you guy like books about : Prom? with two dates? […]

The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu

The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu

The Truth About Alice is unlike anything I’ve read before. Described through several point of views, The Truth About Alice is the story of Alice, a girl who everyone thinks is a slut. But is she? Well, that’s for readers to find out. I really enjoyed the unique premise of The Truth About Alice but I find myself struggling to […]

One Man Guy by Michael Barakiva

One Man Guy by Michael Barakiva

One Man Guy was a refreshing and unique contemporary read. Alek is an Armenian teenager living in a New Jersey suburb and when his parents tell him that he’s going to summer school, he never imagined that he would meet Ethan (who is basically the cutest guy ever). Honestly, I’m not sure how to accurately describe One […]

The Break-Up Artist by Philip Siegel

The Break-Up Artist by Philip Siegel

I am a total sucker for anything contemporary and when I heard about The Break-Up Artist, I quickly jumped at the chance to read it. A book about a girl breaking up couples?! It sounded epic! Becca spends her free time breaking up couples. Her school is governed by the popular couples and those who are single […]
