I really enjoyed Broken Beautiful Hearts. Contemporary YA romance is escapist reading for me, and I would like to read more, so if you can, I would love some recommendations.

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I really liked Broken Beautiful Hearts too. I just finished this book and really liked it > (edited) 6y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Have you tried any of these YA contemporary authors ? - Sarah Dessen, Morgan Matson, Jennifer E Smith, Jenn Bennett, Julie Buxbaum, Jessi Kirby, Gina Ciocca, Huntley Fitzpatrick, Kasie West, Stephanie Perkins... 6y
Paperback.Propensity @BookHoarder32 I read like one Dessen book many years ago, and 2 Kasie West. I'll look up the rest. Thanks! 6y

Nice to be reading something that does not require much mental commitment. I feel like I have been reading a lot of Very Serious books and I need a break.

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I really liked this one! ❤️ Enjoy! 6y

Broken Beautiful Hearts by Kami Garcia is a sexy, heart-pumping thrill ride into the backwoods of Tennessee & the MMA circuit. This is a refreshing entry in the YA genre, which is often oversaturated with tropes & cliches. By bringing in MMA fighters to the dating game, Garcia has found a way to make this teenage love story feel dangerous & exciting. Perfect if you love a swoon-worthy love story with a touch of southern charm & a dash of rage.

This book was so good. It was my first book by Kami Garcia, and as it turns out, 2 of the books in my TBR pile are also by her. I can‘t wait to read those!

Peyton is a star soccer player and receives a offer from her first choice college to play on their team but her dreams are in jeopardy after an accident caused by her boyfriend.

I couldn‘t put this book down and flew through it. Peyton really grew as a character and I liked her interactions with her twin cousins and Owen. I think she was a very strong female character that wasn‘t just badass the whole time. She showed vulnerability.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m about a third of the way through this book right now, and I am loving it! It turns out I have two other books by this author in my TBR pile and didn‘t even know they were by her. I‘m definitely going to have to read those once I‘m done with this one.

Not my cup of tea. Wait-tea is good. This book is whatever would be in my cup if I dunked it into a backed up toilet. Stinky poo poo do do. I was waiting for something, anything to happen but it didn't. The 1st person POV is horrible. Writing style is amatuear. Characters were shallow and overdramatic. If it was a library book I would have stopped at chapter 3 but I bought it so I had to finish it. I near literally flushed my $ down the toilet.

readingjedi Great review! I love a good (toilet) panning! 7y
IheartYA Thank you @readingjedi lolol 7y
minkyb Very visual review! 7y
bookandbedandtea Brutal, yet hilarious, review! I'll be avoiding this book. 7y
Izai.Amorim Great review. It proves again that despite all the agents and editors and reviewers still a lot of bad books are published every year. 7y

As if this book isn't getting on my nerves enough....a cardiac arrest IS when the heart stops beating! I work in a cardiac unit. Please do thorough research before mentioning anything medical. Disappointing! I might just skim the last 50 pages to get this train wreck over with.

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I hate it when they don't talk intelligently about topics... my pet peeve is when they say a character's knitting but they say something like she's using a hook (crochet)... 7y
callielafleur Mine is when someone refers to concrete as cement. Cement is a powder component of concrete. 7y
Samplergal Agreed. Research your subject author peeps! 7y
Izai.Amorim Maybe author didn‘t understand “cardiac”? Neither did editor? Those Latin words will kill you. 😂 Though “cardio” is widely used in sports, isn‘t it? 7y

On Valentine's Day I soared through Broken Beautiful Hearts and loved it.

I was worried because I adored The Beautiful Creatures series and wanted these to be good too!

It also reminded me I have a copy of The Lovely Reckless on my TBR shelf, so my plan is to conquer it this weekend. TGIF!

To be honest, this one wasn‘t on my TBR list but I‘m glad I bought this on a whim. I was a little (well, more than a little) mad that her friends didn‘t believed her when she told the truth. The way people were acting towards her... it was actually kinda frightening. The most thing I liked about the main character was, that no matter what happened, she found a way to conquer her fears. Found a way to keep fighting no matter the circumstances.

Broken Beautiful Hearts is such an important and relevant book about abuse and teen dating violence that despite the dark topic still manages to be lighthearted and swoon-worthy! #amreading #BrokenBeautifulHearts #YA

Box of arcs from Macmillan—happy Halloween 👻

Michelle_mck Oh no! But great parcel in its place 7y
alleyfam51699 I sent 1.5 weeks ago. I'm going to search for the tracking number in the morning. If I can't find it, I'm going to call the post office. 7y
kate_reads @alleyfam51699 Absolutely no problem! I really appreciate you doing one on the first place 😊 7y

alleyfam51699 I hate that it didn't get there. This happened on my last exchange and it ended up being in the apartment rental office where it was delivered. I hope it's there soon. 7y
alleyfam51699 Hi Kate, I apologize for taking so long to get back to you on the package. I have had two dental procedures this past week so it's been crazy. I have tracked it and it's stuck in-transit to St. Paul's. I've tried calling about it but there is usually an hour wait to talk to someone. I'm gong to try again this weekend and on Monday. I will continue to keep you updated. Hopefully it'll get there eventually. 7y
kate_reads @alleyfam51699 Hi Laura, you‘re so sweet. I‘m sorry this is complicating things for you. Absolutely no rush. I️ hope your procedures went well. ❤️ 7y
alleyfam51699 Hi! I finally found out what happened to your package. I got a letter from the Minneapolis post office. Apparently someone stole the contents out of your package. All they found was an empty box with my address and your address on it. They sent me parts of the box. I am so sorry. I'm going to send another package your way tomorrow. It may not be all Fall stuff though, that's the only problem. 7y
kate_reads @alleyfam51699 oh my gosh. I am SO sorry. Please don‘t feel obligated to send something else. I can also reimburse you too. Aghh 7y
