Dangerous Curves Ahead by Sugar Jamison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really liked this book. It was fun and I was cheering for Ellis who was doing life her way.

Educated as a lawyer, Ellis puts that aside to open a store for hard to fit women. As a plus sized girl, she is fully aware how hard it is to look cute when you aren’t a traditional size. She meets Mike, again, and falls in love with him which she also hadn’t planned.

I loved the characters in this book. I wanted to be Ellis’s friend and her parents were terrific, funny and quirky.

Two thumbs up for Dangerous Curves Ahead! 🙂

Buck: A Memoir by M.K. Asante
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Awesome, awesome book. I could not put it down. When I read a book this good, I know my review will pale in comparison to the work but I try anyway.

Follow Malo through the streets of Philadelphia as his family falls apart and he succumbs to life on the streets. But, more importantly, cheer for him as he finds his way and becomes a writer.

Terrific book, I highly recommend. 🙂

The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. Historical novels are not at the top of my list usually but this one was terrific. I loved the character of Jane. She was so her own dog. I loved her spunk and how she knew her mind. I loved the love stories between Jane and Oliver and Emily and Anjan.

Miss Jane Fairfield is an unmarried young woman with a large dowry and no family. She and her sister are living with their uncle whom Jane doesn’t trust. She tries to keep everyone away by her choices of garish clothing. She wants to be able to stay unmarried and be with her sister until her sister is old enough to be on her own. In the process, she falls for Oliver and in the end, she gets to continue being herself.

Great book. I highly recommend it! 🙂

Lock, Stock, and Over a Barrel by Melody Carlson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really liked this book. It was fun. I loved the characters and setting and story line.

Daphne, a wedding announcement writer for the New York Times, returns to her hometown for the funeral of her beloved Aunt Dee. When Aunt Dee’s will is read, Daphne finds out that she is the recipient of Aunt Dee’s entire estate if she only meets the terms of the will within a year.

The only thing bad I can say about this book is that it ended kind of abruptly but I definitely want to read the sequel to see what happens! 🙂
