July 29, 20174 Comments

If you guys follow me, you know that I read Trust by Kylie Scott this month and I LOVED IT!!! As in, this book will forever be in my heart and I want everyone to read it. You can read my review HERE.

Well, Trust has a new cover!! Take a look:

TRUST by Kylie Scott
Genre – Mature YA
Available Now

I have to say, I really liked the original one, because it felt as gritty as the book itself, but I’m just so happy to see representation on the cover of a book. Edie is big girl, and she’s well represented, so well done!

Blurb:

Being young is all about the experiences: the first time you skip school, the first time you fall in love…the first time someone holds a gun to your head.

After being held hostage during a robbery at the local convenience store, seventeen year old Edie finds her attitude about life shattered. Unwilling to put up with the snobbery and bullying at her private school, she enrolls at the local public high school, crossing paths with John. The boy who risked his life to save hers.

While Edie’s beginning to run wild, however, John’s just starting to settle down. After years of partying and dealing drugs with his older brother, he’s going straight — getting to class on time, and thinking about the future.

An unlikely bond grows between the two as John keeps Edie out of trouble and helps her broaden her horizons. But when he helps her out with another first — losing her virginity — their friendship gets complicated.

Meanwhile, Edie and John are pulled back into the dangerous world they narrowly escaped. They were lucky to survive the first time, but this time they have more to lose — each other.

You know when you’re not sure what to expect of a book, but it’s knocks you over when you love it so damn much? This happened to me with this book. I didn’t know what to expect and I absolutely loved it. I didn’t want it to end!

This book started out with a bang, and gripped me right from the very beginning. I mean, it starts with a robbery, death, violence. And wow. It’s raw. I loved it. And incredible it kept the same rawness throughout the whole book, which I really really liked. The writing was fantastic. This was my second book by this author, but I liked this one better, no question.

One of my favorite things about this book was Edie. I loved her. She’s one of my favorite female characters EVER. And I loved that the book was exclusively told through her POV. Yeah, she had her insecurities, but she was strong and determined, and I loved that she didn’t let her weight get in her way. She had her issues, but she pushed forward in live… about everything, and I love her.

I really liked John too, I loved the way the events impacted him and his way of thinking, and how he decided that he wanted more of life that where he was going towards. He made a change and fought for it.

I really liked the secondary characters too, even Edie’s mom, even if she got on my nerves for a bit there, eheh. Hang and Anders were awesome though, and I kind of want at least a novella about them. I loved how supportive they were of their friends, and how they knew exactly what each of them needed in their hard times.

The connection between John and Edie was wonderful, it went from a kinship, to a friendship, to something definitly more. It progressed slowly, it made sense, and there was no true confusion about feelings. They reacted their ages, a little insecure and a lot messed up, but their feelings were clear and sweet, and I loved their relationship.

My only issue with this book was that I felt the ending was a bit rushed. I could have used a couple more chapter between the last one and the epilogue, because I felt like the events of those chapters warranted a little more depth and development.

But overall, I loved the writing and the characters and the storyline and plot. This was one of my favorite books of this year so far. I just loved it! And I recommend it… A LOT!

2017 NEW ADULT READING CHALLENGE | One World Title

“Knock knock!”
“Um… Who’s there?”

Yeah. That was me, on my last date. Before you feel sorry for me you should know that I was the one telling the jokes. Jokes as in plural, because I didn’t stop with just one. Of course not.

Hi, I’m Chloe Scott. The most awkward single girl in the city.

But I’m going to get it together. I am.

I’m going to learn how to date like a grown up.
I’m going to have an orgasm not given to myself.
I’m going to fall in love and live happily ever after.

Right after I get out of this interrogation room.

OMG, this one was definitly my favorite book of this series so far!

WRONG (WRONG #1) | RIGHT (WRONG #2) | Fling (Wrong #2.5)

I had found book 2 hilarious, but this third book just blew it out of the park for me. I liked it so much! Once again, the writing was hilarious, with the added bonus of this one being told in dual POV. AWESOME!

But for me, the thing that makes this book apart from the previous two is the big shift of power. Just like the 2 previous books, and the novella, Boyd is older than Chloe, he’s got money, he’s established, but unlike the other stories, Chloe holds all the power in their relationship, even when she’s not truly aware of it.

I really liked both these characters. Chloe was just as funny as her BFF Everly – and I was so happy to see all the girls together having regular time with each other. But contrary to Everly, Chloe suffers from social anxiety, which seeps into her life regularly and especially affects her disastrous dating life. I really like how the author dealt with her anxiety, and the fact that the problem doesn’t go away magically just because she finds a great guy. Instead, it takes her a long long time to be comfortable with her new reality, and I found that extremely believable.

Boyd really surprised me. Yeah, he was an alpha male, just like all the other dudes, but he was incredibly patient, and I loved that he read Chloe and tried to keep her at ease at all times. I felt like he truly understood her problems and tried to be there for her as best as he could, while dealing with his own feelings at the same time.

I just really liked their connection, and that contrary to the previous 3 stories, this one didn’t go way too fast, because I don’t think that Chloe would be able to deal with that. Instead, Boyd and Chloe took their time, became a very cool and low key couple, without any of the pressure that plagues their best friends. I thought the pacing was just right!

Also, I’m so glad that this plot was completely different from Wrong and Right. One of the things that bothered me about Right, even though I totally loved it, was that the plot felt a bit too much like Wrong. But not in this one!

This was a great ending to the series, and I have to say that I highly recommend it. The books are hilarious and such fast reads. Amazing great times reading them 😉 .

Welcome to my first TBR of 2017 :). I have to say that I’m kind of in love with my new color scheme… Back to the matter at hands… I read 25 books last month, and that was a lot, though I know that I won’t be able to have a repeat performance. For this reason, I’m aiming for 14 reads, and hoping that I can surpass it.
