Who here loved (or still loves) The Princess Diaries? What little girl doesn’t want to be a secret princess? The idea that there is more to you and to your family, that who you are is enough to change the world and change people’s lives, is pretty amazing. What doesn’t come across as a kid…
Molly McAdams’ book Forgiving Lies was my first foray into the New Adult genre. I hope it will not be my last because this book, while not entirely awful, did not make me want to venture any further into the New Adult world. Rachel Masters was in high school in California when her parents were…
Narrated by Sean Crisden and Alexandria Wilde Fall Guy is told in first person (present tense), in the alternating POV of the two main characters, Evan Williams Lennox (Evan Williams is apparently a brand of whiskey) and Winchester (“Winch”) Youngblood (his mother had a thing for guns). Alexandria Wilde narrates the sections from Evan’s POV and…
New adult is an area I find hard to describe. Young adult novels cover coming of age stories, mostly in and around high school, sometimes early in college, where the main character is the same age as the target audience. New adult seems to cover the same basic idea, but the characters are graduating high…
Narrated by Charlotte Penfield After reading Sophie Jordan’s Foreplay, I was pretty sure I was done with the New Adult genre. Still, I decided to try a few others and realized they aren’t all bad. In fact, some are quite engaging. With that in mind, I agreed to review Real, a seriously popular New Adult…
Narrated by Renee Chambliss Into the Deep kicks off Samantha Young’s latest series, Into the Deep. True to the New Adult genre, the story is filled with hot young characters, snarky humor, and of course, angst. While Into the Deep does end with the hero and heroine together, their story is supposed to conclude in the…
I really liked this book. It’s quirky and different and so unlike most NA books, a fact that deserves a hearty round of applause in and of itself. Truly, I wanted to give Flat-Out Love DIK status so badly. But a handful of problems – while not ruining the story – were so problematic that…
Narrated by Kate Rudd According to Goodreads, Kate Rudd has narrated 112 distinct works, but My Favorite Mistake was the first time my listening path crossed with hers. It won’t be the last. There are times when a narrator’s performance enhances a book beyond what would have been experienced if reading in print. This was one…
Finding It is proof that, sometimes, a good book can make a bad initial impression. I’ll be honest, when I first started reading, I was groaning out loud at the thought of trying to finish this book. Kelsey came off as so obnoxious I really didn’t know how I would manage. When we meet Kelsey…
Narrated by Kim McKean People have been talking a lot about a genre that has been coined “new adult”. I’d never read any and, honestly, from the descriptions people gave me, I really didn’t understand the concept. So, I decided to read Sophie Jordan’s Foreplay, figuring I might have a better understanding of the genre….
