Boy Meets Girl ReviewBOY MEETS GIRL is the follow-up to the wildly popular THE BOY NEXT DOOR. In BOY MEETS GIRL, Meg Cabot introduces us to Kate Mackenzie and Mitchell Hertzog via emails, voicemails, diary entries, and various other pieces of modern communication. Newly single and crashing on her best friend's sofa while she apartment-hunts, Kate is an employee in the Human Resources department of the New York Journal, bossed around and undermined by the Tyrannical Office Despot at every corner. When the T.O.D. orders her to fire Ida Lopez, a very popular cafeteria employee, Ida turns around and sues for breach of contract. The attorney on the case is Mitchell Hertzog, and something about Kate clicks with him, despite the fact that every time they meet, his dry cleaner makes money from the disasters that occur - oh, and the fact that his crusading on the Lopez case, intended to impress Kate and show her that he's not a soulless corporate drone, actually gets Kate fired.
Complicating matters for Mitch is the fact that his brother Stuart is engaged to the T.O.D., his younger sister is in a crisis, his older sister wants him to get married, his mother nags him at every turn, and his father, the firm's senior partner, is incommunicado on a never-ending golfing holiday. As for Kate, besides being homeless and jobless, she's covering up for the office vamp's affair with a German ski instructor and being pestered by her ex, first to move back in, then to provide a "recommendation" for him as a boyfriend to a ditzy supermodel whose idea of foreign food is the Olive Garden.
It never ceases to amaze me how well a story can be told in this format. I loved THE BOY NEXT DOOR for its novelty, and BOY MEETS GIRL delivers more of the same. Because many of the same characters appear in both books, I felt like I was revisiting old friends as well as making new ones. Dolly Vargas is as wild as ever, Tim Grabowski is still a huge gossip, George Sanchez is still complaining about the lack of Mountain Dew in the vending machines, and Stacy Trent continues to try to find a life for herself and her husband once the kids are glued to Spongebob Squarepants. Mitch, Kate, and Kate's best friend Jen fit into the setting perfectly. They're great characters, people I'd love to know in real life.
If I have one quibble about BOY MEETS GIRL, it's the fact that the off-screen action can undermine the credibility of the love story. We only know what we are told through email. In THE BOY NEXT DOOR, Mel and John exchanged a lot of email, but in BOY MEETS GIRL, Kate and Mitch rarely communicate this way - everything we know is from Kate's emails to Jen. Readers can feel the chemistry between Kate and Mitch in the deposition transcripts, but there's not a lot of follow-through, so their relationship felt a little rushed to me. On the other hand, Cabot completely nailed the girlfriend vibe - Kate's emails and IM's with Jen read like some of my chats with friends.
The characters were so engaging that my minor complaint was barely a blip on the radar; I enjoyed the book as a whole - and I recommend it to others. Read it - it will raise your spirits, I promise you.Boy Meets Girl Overview

Lola and the Boy Next Door ReviewExcuse me while I fan-girl...
Okay. I'm finished. Not really, but I can't stop smiling! Lola and the Boy Next Door had even more hype leading up to its release than Anna and the French Kiss. I didn't think Lola could live up to Anna, but I was so excited when I got this book in the mail today that I ripped--really, I almost got a paper cut in my rush to open it--right into it. I finished this book in just one sitting.
First things first, I saw that it was signed to me, because my mother is amazing sometimes and ordered me a signed copy from Asheville, North Carolina, from the Lola book release party that I couldn't go to because of family problems. Fan-girl moment again, sorry--but second to that--I jumped right into Lola's world, and I fell in love.
In a way, Lola had me missing Anna. Anna was such a funny, quiet character, and I loved her for it, while Lola was out there and in your face from the first page. But I grew to have a certain fondness of Lola that I only had a few times with Anna and that sealed the deal on this book for me.
Lola is that one girl you see from time-to-time, who is dressed so ridiculously that you can't help but to smile. Lola was out-going, brave, daring, and even a bit too much, if there is ever such a thing. But after a few pages, I loved her and wished she was my new best friend, and clothing designer.
Stephanie Perkins is amazing. She has blown me away and has left me dying for more; just like when I finished Anna and the France Kiss, I have a longing to be in the world her characters live in, and don't even get me started on Cricket Bell!
Cricket was, to put it simply, amazing. He was gorgeous, sweet (God--he was so darn sweet!) gorgeous, caring, gorgeous, smart... did I say gorgeous? Stop it, Angel--you're embarrassing yourself!
Cricket was the perfect male lead for our crazy-design-loving Lola. Throughout the book, Stephanie Perkins let us see how deeply he cares for Lola, and how Lola's feelings of hurt, embarrassment, abandonment, and anger of the past, slowly start to evolve into the love she once had for him--the boy next door who only lives there sometimes.
I know it's hard to believe, but Cricket has actually taken my heart. Sorry, Etienne St. Clair! I didn't think it was possible to love a character as much as I did Cricket, and if you want to make things better--St. Clair and Cricket. Together, in the same scene--talking! Interacting! I know! Anna and St. Clair make a few brief cameos in Lola's story, and I have to say that I loved every minute of it.
Have in mind that this book is heavier than Anna. Emotionally speaking, I was way more invested than while I was reading Anna. I felt the characters had more depth, the issues were bigger--the world was seen through clear, bright eyes the whole time I was reading and I really connected with them. I actually loved every single character--even Lola's bad boy rocker boyfriend, Max--at least, I did until halfway through the book. You'll just have to read it and find out why!
But--oh, no--did I just `but' in this review? Did I just put a `but' in here?!--I wish we could have seen more of Calliope, Cricket's twin sister. I loved her character even though she came across as snobby and indifferent most of the time when it came to Lola, I understood her. I have a brother who I am very protective over as well, so I know what it's like when you don't want your brother to get hurt. I can only hope we see more of her in the near future.
All I can say is that this book is simply amazing. Is it better than Anna? Some say yes, some say no, but I am one of those who say `yes' a million times. From Lola's crazy outfits, to Crickets blue eyes, to her best friend Lindsey and her love for CSI and Nancy Drew-- I fell in love. It depends on what you like, but something tells me Lola is not a girl you will be forgetting about anytime soon.Lola and the Boy Next Door Overview

Awake at Dawn (Shadow Falls) ReviewSo let me start by stating that I absolutely love this series!!! Now that I know CC Hunter also writes under Christie Craig I completely understand why I adore these books so much, I LOVE her!!! I read Born at Midnight because of the price but was pulled in to the teen paranormal drama and was absolutely dying to read Awake at Dawn!!! This sequel picks up with at Camp SHadow Falls with Kylie Galen and the gang learning to cope with their paranormal existence and learn to coexist with other species peacefully. Kylie still has no idea which paranormal category she falls under but she does realize that her ability to see ghosts is not as easy as it would appear, being that ghosts are not the best communicators. She is also undergoing some physical changes that cause Holiday to think she may be a certain type of specie, which type I will not say because I do not believe in spoilers!!! Her love triangle is still fully active as she deals with Lucas, her werewolf love, gone from camp after he mysteriously left without a word with Fredericka, his ex a she-wolf who would do anything to get him back. And then there is Derek, fae, who absolutely adores Kylie and the two get hot and heavy until he senses that she is not quite over Lucas completely. She is forced to decide which one she wants to be with, discover what she truly is, find out who her dead father's real parents are so she can possibly discover the paranormal DNA she has, and convince her mom to allow her to attend the boarding school that the camp is now opening. And to make matters worse....Lucas comes back in the end, and he is very much ready to pick up where they left off!!! Plus Holiday has a little love tryst of her own with Burnett, a vampire who also works for the paranormal section of the government. Miranda, Kylie's witch roommate, falls into a little love triangle of her own, and Della begins to wonder if when she turned into full vamp, she may have actually went on a killing spree!!! Read this sequel!!! There are so many twists and turns and subplots, I read it all in 4 hours because I couldn't put it down!!!!! I am already dying for more!!!Awake at Dawn (Shadow Falls) Overview
