Lesson: Continue to trust random strangers that come into your life.
Main Thought: It was really good and kept my interest. I enjoyed the back and forth in time between the chapters. There were a lot of twists that I was not expecting and some twists that I went back and forth questioning whether or not it would happen.

Fiona and Violet were known as the girl survivors. When they were children, a private plane crashed and they lost their parents. After months of living in the wild, they were found by hikers and rescued. However, Fiona and Violent have always told everyone the same story and never spoke about the Alone Time. Fiona and Violent lost touch with each other until a woman came forward with new information about their father. Now that the media is involved and a documentary is being created, what will be discovered about the accident?

Lesson: If you pull away from a guy that other women throw themselves at, it will drive him nuts and he’ll want to help you.

Lesson: If you get yourself arrested and need help, make sure the warden is a family friend and that you have the help of an investigative journalist and a crime syndication leader.
Main Thought: The beginning was slow until he escaped, then I couldn’t put it down. It was extremely unrealistic which kind of took away from it slightly.

Lesson: If you want a mate that will do anything to keep you happy and healthy, get abducted by aliens and get dropped on a random planet.
Main Thought: I read this because of the Kindle Booktok Challenge and because @mrsshaholz loved it so much. While I’m not normally into SciFi this was really good and I want to read more books in the series.


Warning: abduction, rape

Lesson: The best way to get a guy’s attention is to make copies of his house key without his knowledge.
Main Thought: After reading Wrong, I wanted to read this for Everly’s story. Everly is definitely entertaining since you never know what she is going to do next. The beginning was back and forth between the present and when she was growing up, but it wasn’t difficult to follow.


Everly has had a crush on Finn since she was six years old. She is constantly scheming to try to get him to notice her as more than his best friend’s younger sister. However, her schemes rarely go according to her plan and the Thanksgiving scheme ends with her in the car with Finn’s brother, Sawyer, heading back to Philadelphia. While Everly thinks Finn is the perfect man for her, Sawyer is convinced that he is the perfect man for her. Will Sawyer be able to win her heart? Will Everly ever give up on Finn?

Lesson: When you see a new doctor, make sure he is the type to become overly protective of you so that he’ll break up with your boyfriend for you.
Main Thought: I wish it was a double POV since there were multiple times where I was wondering what Luke was thinking. There were also some parts that were not concluded by the end of the book. I think Everly was one of my favorite characters and I’m excited to read her story next.


Sophie works at Grind Me, a local coffee shop while she’s finishing college. She has a crush on Luke who stops into the shop once a week for coffee. She decides to go to the school clinic for an exam to get birth control and figures out that Luke is a doctor, and apparently her new doctor. Luke becomes protective of Sophie and finally gives her what she wants, to lose her virginity, after she pushes him enough. Sophie and Luke are from two different worlds. Will Sophie be able to keep up with Luke and his family? Will Luke be able to give Sophie what she needs?
