Goodreads Synopsis:

Jazz . . . Booze . . . Boys . . . It’s a dangerous combination.

Every girl wants what she can’t have. Seventeen-year-old Gloria Carmody wants the flapper lifestyle—and the bobbed hair, cigarettes, and music-filled nights that go with it. Now that she’s engaged to Sebastian Grey, scion of one of Chicago’s most powerful families, Gloria’s party days are over before they’ve even begun . . . or are they?

Clara Knowles, Gloria’s goody-two-shoes cousin, has arrived to make sure the high-society wedding comes off without a hitch—but Clara isn’t as lily-white as she appears. Seems she has some dirty little secrets of her own that she’ll do anything to keep hidden. . . . 

Lorraine Dyer, Gloria’s social-climbing best friend, is tired of living in Gloria’s shadow. When Lorraine’s envy spills over into desperate spite, no one is safe. And someone’s going to be very sorry. . . .  -Goodreads-

My Thoughts:

When I look at this cover, all I can do is think that this book is so pretty.  I love the picture on the cover.  It really draws you in.  I know you are not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I did when it came to this book.  I knew from the first time I saw this book that I had to read it.  And I am so glad that I did!!

The book is about a 3 girls in Chicago in the 1920's.  They are living the life that you think a girl in this time and age should be living.  They are debutantes, they are planning their weddings, they are growing up in a time where women are just a pretty face to be seen with. But they do not want to be that, they want to be someone else.  They want to be a person. When I was reading this book it really made me want to go back into this time and live my life.  I think that this would so great! I mean I know that women were sometimes treated like they weren't even in the room, but I think that that is why a lot of women were so strong during this time because they had to raise against their odds.

  I heard so many great things about this book that I knew I had to read it! I had no idea that I was going to love this book as much as I did.  It was beyond words good.  I mean I have been working on this review for two days because I could not find the words to express how I felt about this book.  But I finally figured out what I wanted to say....  If you want a book that has some action...not a lot...just enough, a really great love story, and girl drama(common on...we all love a little girl drama) this book is defiantly for you!  I think that this book had a perfect amount of everything that it was bringing to the table.



My Rating:


I am giving this book 4 out 5 stars!!!

Review: Pretty Amy

Pretty Amy

By: Lisa Burstein

Publisher: Entangled Publishing

Release Date: May 15, 2012

Pages: 304

Goodreads Synopsis:

Amy is fine living in the shadows of beautiful Lila and uber-cool Cassie, because at least she’s somewhat beautiful and uber-cool by association. But when their dates stand them up for prom, and the girls take matters into their own hands—earning them a night in jail outfitted in satin, stilettos, and Spanx—Amy discovers even a prom spent in handcuffs might be better than the humiliating “rehabilitation techniques” now filling up her summer. Worse, with Lila and Cassie parentally banned, Amy feels like she has nothing—like she is nothing. 

Navigating unlikely alliances with her new coworker, two very different boys, and possibly even her parents, Amy struggles to decide if it’s worth being a best friend when it makes you a public enemy. Bringing readers along on an often hilarious and heartwarming journey, Amy finds that maybe getting a life only happens once you think your life is over. -Goodreads-

My Thoughts:

Close your eyes, think back to when you went to Prom.  You are spending all day getting ready, or hanging out with your girlfriends waiting for the night to start... Well that is what should be happening to Amy, but it is not.  She was stood up by her date.  That sucks.  That is the worst night ever to be stood up.  So her friends and her decide to go and have a party of their own, and they get caught.  So she now has to deal with her friends not talking to her, her mother treating her like she has the plague, and because she was arrested she won't be able to walk at graduation.  I think that if I was Amy I would find a really big rock and hide under it... So during this time of waiting to see if Amy is going to jail, she finds a job just to get out of her parents house....oh and because her mom is making her pay the lawyer bill.   She learns that it takes a lot for this problem to go away.  I think that the character really grows with the book.  She really shows that it was a stupid mistake.  But the one thing that really sucks that she will lose her friends.  Maybe that will be for the best.  Maybe she needs to make new friends that won't get her arrested.  

I did the cover reveal for this book and ever since then I could not wait to get my hands on this book and read it.  And boy was it amazing!  It was everything that I thought it was going to be and more.  This book in 5 words is AMAZING, WONDERFUL, FUNNY, EMOTIONAL, and just plain AWESOME!!!!!!  This book had everything that I think a great book needs!  Lisa you did an amazing job.  I can't not wait to read more of your work...  If you ever need someone to be a beta reader I will so do that! lol

Please do yourself a favor and on May 15th please go to the store and buy this book....better yet pre order it on Kindle or Barnes and Noble, and then you get it at midnight!!!! :)  I promise that you will love it!  

My Rating:

I am giving this book 5 out 5 stars!!! Like it deserves!  You have to read it!  It is so worth it!
