Didn't Match Up
This book is about first love, and having a physical relationship for the first time. Normally I enjoy cute love stories, but this was a little flat. The topic and themes were solidly YA, but the writing style is more middle grade. This made the characters come across as younger than what they were. I think if the book had focused more on the emotional aspects of their relationship it would have been better. Unfortunately it was mostly about their sex life. The one up side is that the book did put a lot of emphasis on safe sex.

I just have recently read it. I try to rate things based off of the intended audience, however I grew up in a house hold that was always very open about sex. That could have made a difference. I just know this isn't a book I would give my 13yo sister if she came to me asking questions.

When I grew up, sex was a forbidden topic other than, Wait until you're married." It's no wonder my older sisters got pregnant before marriage. Most of my instruction came from reading my older sister's magazines and my Mom's medical reference book. Thankfully, I was able to avoid teen pregnancy. I bought condoms and kept them in my purse so I could have them on hand when I went out with my boyfriend and I got on the pill when I was 15 or 16. I'm a huge proponent of safe sex. Knowledge is power.

I would rate this a solid good. Mediocre but enjoyable.
Jules is your non average high school senior. Focusing only on getting into Brown and the newspaper. That is until the new guy, a former boy band singer, comes to school. Now she must decide what is more important. With a lot of problems, misteps, and mistakes Jules must learn what it means to be a good friend and a team player.
While I enjoyed the premise and the cute couples I found myself skimming to get to the end faster.
Perfect for those who want a lot of drama with their stories.

This is everything I want in a cute romance. Hallmark worthy. But please make this into a movie so I can giggle along with it!
The plot is simple and you know exactly what will happen and it makes it just that much easier to sit back and enjoy the story. You find yourself laughing along with the antics and if you are a horror movie fan trying to place the quotes before finding out what they are. I am not a fan but it was fun anyway.
Perfect nighttime reading when you just want to relax with a Happily Ever After.

I liked this one.. a little less then mcfarlands farm but it was still sweet and cute.. the only issue i did have was that i feel like we missed some back story... like.. ok.. since he was 16 hes loved his best friends dad.. thats not unusual.. but when did things change for the dad.. how did this happen.. it wasnt "instalove" but seemed close to it because we didnt have the extra info.. overall though for a short read this was sweet.. adorable.. and i enjoyed it a lot. i cannot wait for the next one

I was on a Jane Austen kick when this popped up on Net Galley. I was delightfully surprised that this novel wasnÂ’t horrible. Jane Austen retellings/rip offs are a dime a dozen, especially modern versions. However, I felt that this was a lovely retelling. I felt is held true to its inspirations and I likes Evan and Darcy almost as much as Elizabeth and Darcy. The side characters were just as meddling and frustrating too!

Bottom line, if you want a cute modern retelling that doesnÂ’t butcher the feel of the original, I highly recommend this novel.
  
As someone who has never made a wreath before but really wanted to try, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! There were a lot of interesting ideas that I couldn't have thought of otherwise, unconventional items if you will such as ballons and cupcake wrappers.

Not only are these wreaths cute and creative, but simple and fun to make as well. My 8 year old niece could easily makes these, and, since they are so quick and easy, be able to complete it in one sitting. Not to mention they won't cost you an arm and leg to make!

A brilliant film in so many ways!! It is so simple with barely any dialogue, but it doesn't need it you can tell what is going on by the actions and expressions can say more than a thousands words with a film like this. It's cute, funny and smart and carries a message about the environment. Technically the level of detail in the animation is amazing and set new standards for all animations. There are slight influences from Short circuit in the design of Wall-e and 2001: A Space Odyssey as well later in the film. Do not miss this film!!

To be honest, I didn't think I'd enjoy this book. It was given to me as a gift, so I thought I'll give it a go, and if I get bored with it, I'll just read something else.

However, I am very glad I read it. It is such a sweet story, and the plot is so good! Some of it is predictable, but it's still a good read.

I loved little Daisy. She is so cute!!!

Oh, and there were a few twists I wasn't expecting. Definitely worth a read although probably more of a holiday read if anything.

I received this book from Netgalley and I'm so happy that I did.

This book was so relatable and adorable at the same time. I think everyone will be able to get something from this collection of comics. The artwork is cute and the comic strips are great. We all have those moments in life that our heart and brain do not cooperate. This book shows those moments.

This book will have you bookmarking pages that you know describe you. If you're on the fence, just get it. You're heart and brain will thank you for it!

I was able to purchase this app after winning the Google Play App giveaway here on Smashbomb.
My brother saw this game on his Nintendo Switch a couple of months ago, and since he sent me the name, I'd wanted to download it. Luckily, with the giveaway win, I was able to.
Cat Quest is a fun, cute RPG, where you play as a cat that goes on quests, defeats monsters, and learns magic. It's easy to play, and to level up to get some serious questing done. Overall, I love this game, and will continue playing it every day.
