Next Door To A Star by Krysten Lindsay Hager


   Ah, drama drama, drama... LOL Popularity always = drama!
   In this cute little tale Hadley's world is about to change all in one summer. After her best friend moves away to Texas she decides to go and stay the summer with her grandparents in the Lake Michigan town of Grand Haven. And next door is lurking none other than Simone Hendrickson a teen Idol and TV star. Hadley and Simone become friends and the drama begins! Boys lies and backstabbing are the name of the game in this entertaining novel.
   This was a great little read. This is the second novel that I've read by this author and I have to say that I really enjoy her work. She writes in a way that is very easy to follow and easy to comprehend. Her stories are riveting and her characters are adorable to say the least. Her stories almost seemed to speak from personal experience which I think is what I like the most about them. They bring me back to the days when I was the age of the characters in the novels and having the same High School drama and issues that they're going through. It is very comforting in that way knowing that others have gone through what I have.
   Very real and down-to-earth I have to say that I am looking forward to reading more from Krysten Hager and would definitely recommend her books to others ❤️👍🏻💕

Right Text Wrong Number by Natalie Decker


I think the editor of this book needs to work on their reviewing skills. There are tons of little typos and grammar errors in this book such as these:


The gist of the story is that Layla finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her when she discovers naked pictures of some girl on his phone. Layla attempts to text the girl but instead ends up texting the guy that she thinks is the biggest jerk in school. They continue to text each other however (under seudo names) and begin a relationship. 
Though the story is cute in essence I feel that it was a bit forced. Or perhaps unrealistic? I'm not sure which. I know that I personally think that the book is WAY too revolved around the idea of texting. Perhaps its because I'm of the 90's generation that grew up without texting and smart phones. I just feel that that's really all the book was... two people texting each other back and forth. This may be interesting to some but it just didn't blow my skirt up. 
Perhaps this is written for the younger generations to enjoy. I'm not quite sure. However I'm sure that a younger person would probably get more out of it than I did. 
After this book gets recalled and retyped without all the errors, I would recommend this book to the right person. The story is cute.
