101/200

Bergdorf Blondes: A Novel Bergdorf Blondes: A Novel by Plum Sykes


My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Ugh. This book was so bad. I was really happy to look at the reviews and see several 1's. I spent $3 on this book at a yard sale, which is more than I have ever paid for a book. I found the whole story D-R-E-A-D-F-U-L. I know that it was tongue-in-cheek but holy hell, the characters were so annoying. With their constant whining and bragging and money spending. I had absolutely no interest in any of the characters and I am upset that I bought Debutante Divorce.

100/100 (391 pages)

Catching Fire (Hunger Games, #2) Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It is books like this that make me love reading. In the 24 hours since I have finished this book, I keep thinking about it and thinking I can't wait to keep reading. And then I remember that I finished it and I will have to wait at least another year to find out what happens!I don't want to spoil anything so I will keep this review short. It was just as great as The Hunger Games. My only problem was the ending. Even though HG is the first book of the trilogy, it ends in a neater way than CF. CF leaves you wanting more immediately which is a good thing I guess, but so frustrating!

The Love of Her Life The Love of Her Life by Harriet Evans


My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I friend lent me this book so I wasn't really sure what to expect going in. Kate has a traumatic experience that causes her to flee her life in London and move to New York where she settles for less than the best of everything. I found it a little frustrating that it took so long to find out what the traumatic experience was. And I thought the BIG surprise was way too over the top. Almost Final Destination silly. I thought this book was just ok. I could've done with it being a little shorter and at times I really wanted to shake some sense into Kate.
