Review: Hard to Get

Val thought she had the perfect boyfriend - until she found him with another girl. Now she's suddenly single for the first time since 8th grade. Boys are coming out of the woodwork to date her, filling her phone with text messages and her locker with gifts. At first, she finds all the attention strange, but soon it gets annoying. Val decides to swear off boys, a declaration her friends find amusing. They make a bet to see if she can go a month without dating or even flirting with a boy.

She readily agrees as she's not remotely interested in dating any of the boys from school. Plus she wants time to herself. Then she meets Adam, who is completely the opposite from her type of boys. Yet she can't stop thinking about him. Could he cause her to break the bet?


My Thoughts: A cute and funny book, although I wonder if the gifts in the locker/texts would ever happen. Still, I liked Val and I really liked Adam. A fun addition to the Romantic Comedies.

The Cover: Cute as they always are

Review: The Daughters

Three best friends know how hard life in the spotlight (or in your parent's shadow) can be and the rules that can't be broken. Lizzie, the daughter of the hottest supermodel, hates having her picture taken. She looks so incredibly awkward comparatively to her ultra famous mother. Plus she hates it when her mother makes them pose together because Lizzie knows she's not beautiful, but she hates having other people acknowledge the fact.

After a huge fight with her mother over an accidental slip up that makes it on to youtube, Lizzie finds herself at a crossroads. She meets a photographer who sees something uniquely beautiful about her face - a new type of pretty with a natural look. On a whim, Lizzie agrees to become her model. Now Lizzie's loving the camera and the modeling work, but she is too afraid to tell her mother the truth. Will her mother accept Lizzie's decision after their fight about posing for photos together?

My Thoughts: I devoured this book - it's an addicting read filled with drama and friendship. I liked the twist having the parents as famous, not the daughters. Although the daughters will come into their own identities, they're struggling finding a separation from their parents. I can't wait for the next book due out in November.

Fun Facts: Joanna Philbin is Regis's daughter.

The Cover: This might not be final art work, but I like the contrast. The girls and colors are a bit different, but it's pretty much the same.
