It has been a while since I've read a teenage-highschool drama book. I actually, can't remember reading such thing before, but I have to say that I've enjoyed it a lot. I've always been interested in bad boy romance with a rich girl. So this book was what I've wanted to read for a long time.
Meet Frankie, a rich girl who went through a trauma witnessing her boyfriend Noah being killed by someone who she cannot identify because of the shock she went through, and the guilt is eating her up. She doesn't care anymore and she's willing to risk her life.
Comes her father to the rescue and takes her to live in a place where criminals and low class people live. The place is dangerous for a teenager to live in but her father wants to keep an eye on her, and he's a cop. When Frankie goes to live with him, she becomes enlisted at Monroe's school and becomes friend with Cruz.
Enters Marco, who is known to be manwhore and a criminal who has illegal activities to pay for what his father has done before he ruined his life along with his sister's. Marco falls in love with Frankie but then things don't workout the way everybody expects for she's a rich girl and her father is a cup, he comes from the Downs with no family and does illegal things.
I loved all the characters in this book and how they have developed through out the story. Don't expect something wow from this book. It's a light read if you want to relax your mind, enjoy your time and read something light.
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see another place to request a review--I hope it's okay to use the comment box!
Here's my blurb:
Even though she lives hundreds of miles away, when Langston, who dreams of being a chef, meets Cecile, a Juilliard-trained pianist, he is sure that his history of being a sidekick, instead of a love interest, is finally over. Their connection is real and full of potential for a deeper bond, but the obstacles between them turn out to be greater than distance. Can these busy, complicated people be ready for each other at the same time? Does it even matter? Before they can answer these questions, each must do battle with the ultimate demon—fear.
Told in a witty combination of standard prose, letters, emails, and diary entries, LETTING GO, in the tradition of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's AMERICANAH, is a long-distance love story that also examines race, religion, and the difficult choices we make following our passions. From the Great White North to the streets of New York City to the beaches of Bermuda, LETTING GO is a journey of longing, betrayal, self-discovery and hope you will never forget.
If this interests you, I'd love to send a pdf, mobi, or epub file.

Hello Books. Paper. Mania:
ReplyDeleteI see you like sci-fi, and thought you'd might enjoy a free advanced release e-copy of the brand new sci-fi comedy 11,984. This is not a conventional novel. It contains a lot of creative innovations, including punctuation from the future.
Thousands of years in the future, humanity has finally eradicated war, poverty, and all forms of human suffering. With no problems or unanswered questions remaining in the world, everyone is bored out of their minds, that is until the sun starts putting on a light show, the first warning sign it's getting ready to supernova!
Our heroes from the year 11,984 are your typical family of two mothers, three fathers, a couple of kids, and plenty of robots. Fun-loving Troll, so called because of her giant troll doll hair(They don't have names in the future, or wear clothes) is the world's leading hydrologist/interior decorator, whose plans to retire quickly change when faced with the drought to end all droughts. Bulb, bald head glowing like a lightbulb, is the cranky Minister of Rational Thought. His faith in science is tested by the total collapse of society. Last but not least is Litterbot, the clumsy garbagebot who gets no respect, and whose highest priority--to clean--is frustrated by a world without messes.
As the family works on building an escape spaceship, the sun bombards them in changing colors, which unbeknownst to them causes radiation insanity. The sky colors keep growing stronger, and these totally peaceful people are at each other's throats. It gets so bad their bodies mutate (which helps them work faster) and world computer crashes (forcing them to read primitive paper books, and rely more on Litterbot.) Will they launch before getting smashed to pieces?
My first humor novel, Foxavier and Plinka, was published in 2013. May I email the complete 11,984 manuscript of 75,000 words? Thank you.
