Book Review – Until We Meet Again

Until We Meet Again book coverUntil We Meet Again by Renee Collins

When Cassandra meets a strange boy on the private beach in front of her family’s summer house, she never imagines being swept up into a dangerous mystery almost one hundred years in the making. Cassandra soon learns that the boy, Lawrence, seems strange to her because he is really from 1925 and living in the same house that her family is renting. As their friendship blossoms into something deeper, Cassandra discovers something that puts Lawrence’s life in danger and they must find a way to change history. The time-travel elements in this book are pretty standard. Cassandra and Lawrence make an interesting couple; both searching for their places in life and helping each other find those places. However, it’s the descriptive aspects that shine. Ms. Collins’ writing has a beautifully haunting quality about it.

Book Review – Eleanor & Park

Eleanor and ParkEleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

Review: Can something be both happy and sad at the same time? I feel like this book is a clash of emotions. It was romantic yet antagonistic. It was poignant but unnerving. Moreover, after all the ups and downs, the ending was satisfying but at the same time I wished there was more to it.

Book Review – The Runaway Princess

The Runaway PrincessThe Runaway Princess by Hester Browne

Review: The story reminded me of a British version of the movie “The Prince and Me.” I liked this book despite the fact that it moved a little too slow for my taste. It had a likable heroine and a charming hero. Despite the excess story, it was still entertaining and had a satisfying chick lit ending.
