Review: Crescendo

By
Crescendo Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a 3.5 star book for me. I was excited to read more about Nora and Patch, especially after what happened in book one. Nora was very whiny and she kept doing the opposite of what she knew she should do and what her heart was telling her was right. She hurt people for dumb reasons and it wasn't until halfway through I really began to enjoy the book and the "Veronica Mars" part of the story really took hold. Vee wound up being the best part of this book. She was truly what a real friend should be. Always there for you, tells you what you don't want but need to hear, fun and adventurous, doesn't let you mope, and loyal to a fault. This book does have a major cliffhanger ending and I will read the next book.

Nora and Patch are together but it doesn't take long for Nora to begin doubting his feelings for her and breaking things off with him without waiting for answers from him. Nora starts seeing her father in random places but he is supposed to be dead. Someone from her childhood resurfaces as she gets stuck with her nemesis, Marcie Miller, for her summer school Chemistry lab partner. Marcie thinks it's fun to make Nora's life as miserable as possible, starting with reminding her that her dad is dead.

Nora had to figure out if her dad is still alive and what she needs to do with her own life before it's too late.

Review: Robin

Robin by Dave Itzkoff My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book will be released on May 15, 2018. When I got approved for an advanced copy I was ecstatic. I was also nervous that maybe the author won't do the man justice but that thankfully was not the case. This book is so thoroughly researched with a lot of cooperation from his family and friends. The author doesn't judge or take jabs at Robin but lays out the facts and lets you form your own opinions without being pushy. It would be an understatement to say I got lost in this book. It was as engrossing as watching Robin perform. Robin Williams was not a perfect man. He had doubt and insecurities and health problems. He was upfront about his many addictions and got help. He was sober when he passed away by his own hand. He had an undiagnosed brain disease that may have caused him to take his own life without ever knowing he was doing so. Again my heart broke all over again. Robin Williams was dispu

Body Swap by Sylvia McNicoll My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book was a real treat. It's a comedic contemporary with a heartfelt emotional relationship between an elderly woman and a teenager. It has some great lessons in humility, respecting the elderly, the positives and negatives of technology and even crossing racial divides. I highly recommend this novel for a good emotional read! Hallie is completely nervous. The guy she has been crushing on is at the mall. She and her friend Addy just arrived and she's discover a huge zit on her forehead. All she can think about is finding out what Khael said about her while texting her friend when she gets hit by a car in the parking deck and dies. She finds herself at a wonderful carnival and Eli leads her to the rollercoaster. She knows once she rides this there is no coming back and she's never even been kissed! She says she doesn't want to ride alone and waits. Susan appears along side Hallie

Charlotte Holmes and the Locked Box by Sherry Thomas My rating: 4 of 5 stars An enjoyable short story written about Charlotte Holmes, Sherlock's sister. She has begun solving cases for clients due to his poor health. She has the keen and stunning acumen that her brother does and this story is delightful and refreshing! This is a great quick read with a curious riddle. Great when you are in a reading slump or just need a break from a long book you're reading. I would highly recommend this story and it only takes a few minutes to read. View all my reviews
