Review: Leah on the Off Beat - Becky Albertalli

Image
It was never a question if I‘m going to read the new novel of one of my favorite authors. The question was rather when am i gonna read Leah on the Off Beat ?  Finally I found some time to read and it was absolutely not wasted - but what else would I expect from Becky Albertalli ? Basically Leah on the Off Beat is about friends, finding love and growing up. I really enjoyed reading the novel because I can relate with Leah. It’s her last year of high school and she has to deal with problems like college and the whole what-comes-after-school-deal - the same problems I have to deal with. It’s also nice to see the Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda (“the first part”)   characters from another point of view. Note: It’s not necessary to read Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda or The Upside of Unrequited (“the second part”) to get the story! In Albertallis novels, you just see how the world of three totally different teenagers intertwines - teenagers of different sex, with diffe...

Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses - Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Thorns and Roses is basically a Beauty and the Beast retelling. In the first few pages, you already learn a lot about Feyre - the main character - and her family: Because they lost their fortune, Feyre has to hunt in the forest. One day she killed a (faerie-)wolf and so she ends up at Spring Court in Prythian, the Faerie Realm. She finds herself in the midst of a land she has no place being in, and yet, she finds love with the beast of the story, Tamlin, the High Lord of the Spring Court. In Prythian, there are three ´main sorts´of faeries: the lesser faeries, the High Fae and the seven High Lords - like Tamlin is one. For me, the whole ´Fae-thing´ is kinda puzzling, because it´s hard to recall what exactly which sort of faerie can do. There are some situations, too, that are a bit difficult to imagine. At some Point, Tamlin sents Feyre back home, though he loves her. But barely Feyre is at home, she tries to go to Prythian again, because she knows of a p...

Review: Kiss me in Palm Springs - Catherine Rider

Image
Zwei Menschen, ein Name, ein Festival - für den Einen eine Chance, für den Anderen eine  Flucht. Jay (alias Jackson Quinn) will das Scorchella-Festival in Palm Springs nutzen, um beruflich durchzustarten. Er will Musikjournalist werden und einen Artikel über Flamingo Rose schreiben - eine Band, die seinem Musikgeschmack nicht ganz entspricht und von derer Trennung er zu wissen mag. Diesen Artikel schreibt er für "The Hunt", der reißerischen Musikzeitschrift bei der er ein Praktikum macht. Jay plündert also seinen Studienfond, kauft sich ein Last-Minute-Luxusticket und fliegt von Boston nach Palm Springs, um den Artikel im Stil von "The Hunt" zu schreiben - davon erhofft er sich eine Festanstellung bei dem Magazin. Für Sasha (alias Quinn Jackson) waren die letzten drei Jahre der Horror. Doch im Studium hat sie drei Mädels kennengelernt, die ihre besten Freundinnen geworden sind. Mit ihnen ist sie unterwegs zu Scorchella, denn Sashas Freundinnen sind Riesenfans von ...
