Secretly crushing

Crushed by a tragedy

Charlee May’s been crushing on Dexter Hollingworth since she was fifteen. Five years later, a horrific skiing disaster at Mason’s Ski Lift Resort leaves her millionaire dad critically injured and her mom dead at the hands of Dexter operating the lifts. Charlee is suddenly the sole caretaker for her little brother while their world falls apart.

Dexter couldn’t be more different from Charlee. He’s tattooed, avoids exclusive relationships and his Dad has a fair share of illegal dealings. With Dexter’s reputation, almost everyone believes he planned the Mason’s skiing disaster.

And after all these years he’s still crushing on Charlee May, the girl who’s too good for him.
When this cruel twist of fate ties Charlee’s family and Dexter’s reputation together, Charlee and Dexter wonder if their feelings are reciprocated, while Dexter discovers his dad is trying to steal the May’s millionaire fortune.
But like an addiction, one look, one touch, one taste—they’re hooked no matter the consequences.

I really like this cover! WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Review: Confessions of An Angry Girl

Confessions of an Angry Girl (Confessions #1)

by Louise Rozett

 Rose Zarelli, self-proclaimed word geek and angry girl, has some confessions to make…

1. I'm livid all the time. Why? My dad died. My mom barely talks. My brother abandoned us. I think I'm allowed to be irate, don't you?

2. I make people furious regularly. Want an example? I kissed Jamie Forta, a badass guy who might be dating a cheerleader. She is nowenraged and out for blood. Mine.

3. High school might as well be Mars. My best friend has been replaced by an alien, and I see red all the time. (Mars is red and "seeing red" means being angry—get it?)

Here are some other vocab words that describe my life: Inadequate. Insufferable. Intolerable.

(Don't know what they mean? Look them up yourself.)

(Sorry. That was rude.)

My Thoughts:

Confessions Of An Angry Girl is addictive and unputdownable but leaves a nasty aftertaste. 

First of all I find the title a little misleading. I didn't think Rose was angry for the majority of the book. She was rude and snarky YES but not angry in my opinion. Just saw the definition of anger

Having a strong feeling of or showing annoyance, displeasure, or hostility; full of anger.
(source: Google) 
Well, Rose was experiencing these emotions so she was an angry girl. I guess I just associate anger with violence and lots of screaming at people at all times and Rose did those things but not for the majority of the novel.

I liked Rose. She was snarky and sarcastic and I just liked being in her head. I loved the fact that she was a wordsmith and how every chapter starts with a new word and then she relates it to her situation.[I know WORD NERD ALERT is going through your head right now! I know :P]These are the best parts of this story and if I read the sequel it will be because of this.

What I didn't like was Rose's obsession with Jamie. WHAT is so great about this guy? I thought he was a jerk. 

Rose is also pretty mean to her friends. Especially a guy who has a crush on her. 

You don't like him but you don't let him off the hook either and you're obsessed with a guy who you haven't had a conversation with? 

I was really frustrated with Rose in loads of specific situations.Her friendship with Tracy is also weird. 

The weirdest part is the fact that I couldn't stop reading this book. I guess I expected Rose to rise above and come to her senses or maybe the fact that Rose was a trainwreck was weirdly fascinating for me and thus I couldn't put it down. I give props to the author for keeping me hooked though.

Overall, I might read the sequel but I'm not going to be dying to read it. Rose is an interesting character that fascinates and irritates me at the same time.

My Rating:

2.5/5

GIVEAWAY: The Things They Didn't Buy

The Things They Didn't Bury

by Laekan Zea Kemp

 The war took everything. Except the truth. When Liliana and her family move back to Argentina after seeking refuge in the States during La Guerra Sucia, a lifetime's worth of wondering comes to a head, reigniting the search for what really happened to her mother, one of the thousands of los desaparecidos—the disappeared.

With the help of a young Flamenco player who saw the atrocities committed by the military firsthand, Liliana not only makes the devastating discovery of what really happened to her mother but by forcing open the country's old wounds as well as her own she also learns a disturbing truth about her origins that will reconstruct the lives of the people she loves most.

Seamlessly alternating between the voices of mother and daughter—one trying to survive the rising chaos of The Dirty War and the other sifting through its aftermath, The Things They Didn’t Bury is a novel about forbidden love and family secrets.

Gripping, heartbreaking and lyrical this is not a story about war or about the secrets still buried beneath its wreckage but it is a story about the things they didn't bury, intangible and infinite—love, truth, and family.
