Crazy (Rock Me #3) by Arabella Quinn


Crazy (Rock Me #3)

Author: Arabella Quinn
Edition: Kindle
Pages: 140
Published: July 12, 2013


Overview:
Tommy doesn’t do relationships.
Livvy doesn’t do one-night-stands.

By the time she finds out that he’s a rock star with serious commitment issues, it’s too late, she’s fallen for him. But, how can an average girl snare a sexy rock star? By pretending she not so average…

Tommy, drummer for the band Cold Fusion, is used to partying hard. Every night there’s a new woman in his bed, and that’s the way he likes it. From the moment they first meet, Livvy intrigues him; she’s so different from all the other girls. Despite his reluctance for ‘repeat sex’, he is drawn in by her crazy antics.

Livvy knows she has to step up her game to keep the hunky playboy interested. When she turns the tables on him, Tommy can’t seem to get enough. But can she keep up the crazy charade or will she find herself in way over her head?

My Take:
Cover: B

Story: B

Characters: Livvy: A ~ Tommy: A

This book made me laugh due to the fact of the things that Livvy tries to do to stimulate Tommy. You'll have to read this because it was pretty awesome. Then there are some things that Tommy says that made me laugh too! Other times I was like fanning myself a bit. There is mention of sex, rock n roll and drugs but not to depths of heading for the hills. It's just there. I liked the characters and how they have such sarcastic and playful banter between them. It's a short story but steamy that'll make you laugh. The overview pretty much sums it all of what the story is about.

Gimme A Call Review


Disclaimer: I bought this book to read to give it an honest opinion!




Title: Gimme a Call

Author: Sarah Mlynowski
Publisher: Random House Children's Books
Publication date: 5/24/2011
Pages: 320

Overview:
A new life is just a phone call away!

Devi's life isn't turning out at all like she wanted. She wasted the past three years going out with Bryan—cute, adorable, break-your-heart Bryan. Devi let her friendships fade, blew off studying, didn't join any clubs . . . and now that Bryan has broken up with her, she has nothing left.

Not even her stupid cell phone—she dropped it in the mall fountain. Now it only calls one number . . . hers. At age fourteen, three years ago!

My Take
I loved the cover of this book which caught my eye along with the author's name. I've read a few of her other books, so I decided to give this one a go! It took me a while to read this book due to the fact I had many things going on in my life. Overall I liked how Devi talks to her younger self into things to try to make her life better. Sure the book had its moments of quirky things happening like trying to win the lottery and doing too many things at once. I think throughout the process of the book that Devi eventually learns of good and bad decisions can effect you no matter what the outcome is. Life does that and you have to deal. I did find myself liking Freshman Devi than Senior Devi. While I read this book, the question did pop in my mind of "What would I have changed back in high school?" The answer to that has me thinking of a few things that I would have done differently but not to the extreme I think. I would probably tried to join the art club or even pursue writing more poetry or something like that. Sure I did try out for the dance troupe but didn't make it which bummed me out big time. As for dating wise, sure I had a few crushes but was too damn shy to talk to the boys back then. Anyways the book was an interesting read.

Cover Rating: A
Story Rating: C
