Focus by Naomi Charles My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Told in a series of flash backs and present day. Focus is story that is full of twist and turns, it grabs you and keeps you coming back for more. Nicole got into something so much deeper then she ever imagined possible the day she walked into Noah's, her then boyfriend's house, two years earlier.

Dear Girl by Aija Mayrock My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staying true to the book, my review will be in poetry form. Dear Girl, A collection of poetry to bring you to tears. Some you feel Some you might never know, while wishing you did. I found myself clapping, shouting yes this is true. Rivers forming in my eyes because I have worn these shoes. **** Aija Mayrock's poems will connect all women kind to another. We have fought, we have cried. This our truth. We must love each other, love ourselves, speak out for one another, hold the candle, hold the door. Scream a little louder for the voices of the unsure, the timed, the scared, the forgotten and the lost. I cried. I connected. I smiled. Well written, broken up into sections and 100% real. *Thank you Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing View all my reviews  

Smash It! by Francina Simone My rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5 Oliva is like so many other teenage girls lacking confidence, insure with their body, in love with their best friend, who by the keeps on giving her those mixed signals. After a moment self reflecting after some unwanted advice from a bartender at Halloween party she decides to make same changes. To take charge of her life, to be seen, to do it, to say yes more. So she makes herself a list, "the year of fuck it" And well things they are starting to go well....until they don't. The story it's self is a play on Shakespeare's Othello, which also just happens to be the school play that O wants to try out for as part of her year of yes, her year of "fuck it". I liked how the story it's self is broken up in to Acts, like they would be for a play with a modern spin on the lines, because the play in the book is a modern rap musical version. I'm torn, torn when it comes to this review. One side I laughed so...
