Well, it’s a fact that it’s been quite some time since my
last review post but that doesn’t mean I haven’t read any book at all. I have
read a few since the dawn of 2016. They’re just not that many and I’m afraid
with my speed, I still won’t be able to reach my Goodreads 50-book Challenge.

Cinderella Screwed Me Over by Cindi Madsen
Pages: 294 pages
Pacing: Fast-pace
Format: E-book
Goodreads Average Rating: 3.85 stars
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
SYNOPSIS:
Darby Quinn has a bone
to pick with Cinderella. Burned one too many times by ex-boyfriends,
Darby has lost all belief in the happily-ever-after that the fairy-tale
princess promised her. She's sworn off love, Prince Charmings, and happy
endings and she's happy about it. Really. Or at least she was…until she
met Jake, her gorgeous neighbor and the manager of her favorite
restaurant. But Darby has rules about dating, ones she's culled from her
years spent with so-called “princes,” and starting something with Jake
would break all of them.
Charming, fun, and unwilling to give up
on her, Jake doesn’t fit any of the profiles Darby has created from her
case studies of ex-princes-gone-bad. Finally presented with her own
Prince Charming, can Darby take a chance on a happily-ever-after?
Full
of wit and sarcastic humor, Cinderella Screwed Me Over proves that
sometimes the perfect love, like a perfect pair of shoes, is just within
your grasp.

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
Budding designer Lola
Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion...she believes in costume. The more
expressive the outfit--more sparkly, more fun, more wild--the better.
But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and
friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty
perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell
twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.
When
Cricket--a gifted inventor--steps out from his twin sister’s shadow and
back into Lola’s life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings
for the boy next door.
