Okay, so lovely readers, last night I told you I would be reading the eBook, kindle download, Alexis - Marian Gard starting today. Well, low-and-behold I finished t already. It is 37 chapters plus the Epilogue. I have to say, the reviews I read weren't far from the truth. They all said it was a good book and that she should write more.
Well, I have to agree. It was very good. Could be almost great. I give it 4.5 stars. Keep in mind this a young adult/contemporary romance. there is not a bunch of sex in this. So if that is what you are looking for then this is not a book for you. I am a big romance readers, and I love a good sex scene. I also like when a book is more than sex.
Okay this book is about a collage student, Alexis, and her journey to find love. It starts off with her being in bed with her ex-boyfriend, who she had a one night stand after being separated for 2 or 3 months. Her roommates try and set her up numerous times, even one, Meg, tried to get Alexis to meet her brother. Along the way they finally meet and a bunch of crazy thing happen. A friendship almost torn to shreds, and her brother revealing big news and then having a hard time after spilling his news. Some jealousy, some crying, some broken hearts. There are plenty of ups and downs. The best part is the end. The end is the happiest. Not only for Alexis and her opposite, Grayson, but also for her brother.I won't spill the ending for anyone who has this book on their wish list to read, or is reading it now.
I can say I will be saving this kindle book in my collections. It is a good reference and a lot of inspiration for writing my own. No I don't copy what they write, it just helps reading other YA novels for inspiration. I haven't come close to finding anything will resemble what I am writing. Not yet anyway. I'm sure there is something out there, but I just haven't found it yet.
Aside from that, I recommend this as a read. Maybe a book club read, or just for fun. If a school offers the same kind of class that I had in high school where you get to sit in class for that hour period and read whatever you like and have to answer questions and discuss with the teacher the book you read. Kind of like a book club, but not since those in the class don't all read the same books. I can't remember exactly what my high school called the class as it has been about 11 years since I have been in high school and taken the class.
So pick your kindle, nook, or whatever tablet you have for an e-reader and get this book downloaded and read it. You won't want to put it down. I can just about promise. I can't completely promise, since not everyone has the same tastes in reading material, but this is a good, very good book.
Thank you for reading, questions are welcome, as are comments, and recommendations are desired. Once again thank you!
