The Summer Switch-Off by Beth Reekles

-
Luna, Rory, and Jodie are all strangers. They meet on a holiday from hell and bonded over the loss of devices and being the only people close in age, and not being in a good place in general.

There is a reason why they are all on this holiday. They are all stuck in life, not in space where they want to be and now knowing what to do next.

Luna thought her life was perfect. She finished her first year of College, had a perfect boyfriend, and lots of friends. She decided to end her relationship in an angry fight. Not sure if she did the right thing, she booked the holiday to get away from it all. Her bf wants her back, even though he is no good for her, all of her friends ditched her, cause they were more his than hers. So she is basically starting it all over and doubting herself at every moment.

Rory is passionate about her art and spends an ungodly amount on social media, trying to build up her image and sell her art. She is about to go to an expenses paid college, to study law, which she really, really doesn't want to do, but fells pressured to and is too scared to talk to her family about it.

She doesn't have enough confidence to go for what she wants and is afraid not to fit into her family anymore.

Lucy is working so hard. Between jobs, college, and the insane pressure she puts on herself, she is totally drained. Her family pushed her to take a vacation, which she desperately needed. She is constantly pushing herself into something she doesn't even like and spends most of the time comparing herself to her classmates and friends.

The holiday looks idyllic online, but in reality, is anything but. First, they have to give up all of the devices and sign up for activities they certainly do not want to do. Then their rooms get flooded and they have to move together to a run-down shack.

In the midst of all of the problems, they form a bond and during the week figure out their next step one way or another.

A story about friendship, growing up, learning to stand up for yourself and for what you believe in, and figuring out your life, while having fun with new friends.

There is also a steamy romance in between, but my favorite part was the friends.

It's a lovely story, highly recommend it!

Wish Upon A Streaming Star by Krissi Dallas [BookTour & Giveaway]

You know that feeling when you read a great book and someone asks you what it is about, but nothing comes to mind, except it's sooo good, you have to read it ? Wish Upon a Streaming Star is that kind of a book. It's hilarious with seriously witty bickering, romantic (that Dirty Dancing lift... omg), but also manages to pull at every one of your heartstrings- there is one scene where I cried my eyes out along with the characters. Caz and Dizzy are next-door neighbors. They have been best friends since forever, until the start of the Senior year, when something happened and they have been avoiding each other ever since. Caz is a very famous YouTuber. He started his video as a way to deal with the grief of losing a father, and it ballooned into something big, but it also changed everything, and not all in a good way. Dizzy is trying to keep her life together. The family business is failing and her mother's cancer, it's a lot to put on one girl's shoulder. She has spent...

Naomi and Luca grew up on opposite sides of the country. In the 5th grade, they became pen pals for a school assignment and never stopped writing to each other, until 2 years ago, when the letters stopped. But the letters weren't sweet or heartfelt, they were filled with hate and mean words, and they always tried to outdo each other in their insults. Slowly, over time, underneath all those jabs, a friendship developed. Naomi works at the TV station as a weathergirl. And then she received a new letter at work, from Luca, but without his new address. She and her friend go on a whole adventure to find him, flying across the country, and finding more about his life along the way. At the same time, the cute neighbour asks her out and they start to date. There is this insane chemistry between them, but her heart is torn between two guys. It's so so good! I couldn't put it down. It's funny, sweet and heartfelt all at the same time... and there are many steamy scenes too! :) Hi...

rating ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ He is her brother's best friend and her biggest enemy. He insulted her when they first met and it has just gone downhill from there. Each encounter is filled with insults and pranks that get worse each time. It all escalated when he came to a Christmas holiday with her brother. There is mad tension between them, shifting from hate to attraction. The romance is fast, and steamy. There is mad tension between them and sparks just fly. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop, it's so addicting! It's light, fun, and full of chemistry and pranks. :) Goodreads  //  Amazon happy reading, anie
