I won't say that Broken Hearts is my favorite -- that honor might go to Amy & Roger's Epic Detour or Since You've Been Gone -- but it's still a great read. :)starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-90861436727198566102014-07-13T18:21:43.240-05:002014-07-13T18:21:43.240-05:00I had to skip over the Sinner review, because I...I had to skip over the Sinner review, because I'm currently reading it. Actually, I'm almost finished with it. But anyway, it makes me so happy to see that you gave it a solid 4-star rating! I'm really enjoying it, even if Cole and Isabel are driving me a little nuts w/their push & pull methods. haha<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed Catch a Falling Star, but it's too bad about that meh ending. I think I'll have to take a pass on that one. I'm not very interested in anything with the fake gf/bf trope. I feel like I've seen that plot play out one too many times on TV or in movies, and I've had my fill. But I really do want to check out Broken Hearts! Revenge stories tend to be fun, and I like that there's a sequel in the works -- because CHARACTER GROWTH. Also, I had no idea Morgan Matson wrote it, and while I haven't read any of her work, I know she has a great following! I need to experience her stuff already! Great mini-reviews, Jen! <br /><br />I'll be back to read your thoughts on Sinner soon. :)<br /><br />Marlene @ <a href="http://www.flyleafreview.com" rel="nofollow">The Flyleaf Review</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274355208601978550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-91124189931123965852014-07-11T12:59:28.595-05:002014-07-11T12:59:28.595-05:00Same here.

I'm excited that there's going to be a third book now. :)starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-991624983885494462014-07-11T12:58:38.292-05:002014-07-11T12:58:38.292-05:00Yep, I didn't know it until recently, but it m...Yep, I didn't know it until recently, but it made me that much more excited to get to it, seeing as how I'm a huge fan of Morgan Matson. :)starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-39324821635469397192014-07-11T12:57:46.257-05:002014-07-11T12:57:46.257-05:00Oh, The Scorpio Races is tops, that's for sure...Oh, The Scorpio Races is tops, that's for sure. But if you're going to read something else of Maggie's, I'd go with The Raven Cycle books. They are fabulous, and the narrator is awesome. I thought I'd dislike him at the beginning, but he really is phenomenal. Well, I normally try to review things a few weeks before their release, but this one landed in my lap just shortly before release, so I didn't have time. :( And, yep, that show is hilarious...even my 9yo nephew loves it.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-40678783058295833972014-07-11T12:55:39.685-05:002014-07-11T12:55:39.685-05:00Thanks!

It kind of made me want to go back and re-read the rest of the series, just because it's been so long.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-3233635475105889962014-07-11T12:54:47.520-05:002014-07-11T12:54:47.520-05:00The Katie Finn book was very predictable, I'll...The Katie Finn book was very predictable, I'll grant you that, but I was still intrigued enough to see how it was all going to come to a head, ya know? The audiobook was definitely good. And Sinner...sigh. I'm glad for the resolution, finally, for those two. And I love that it totally felt like a companion novel, not a continuation of the other books.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-47898079141168706512014-07-10T20:08:38.613-05:002014-07-10T20:08:38.613-05:00I enjoyed Sinner a good amount but I'm more ex...I enjoyed Sinner a good amount but I'm more excited about Blue too. Ugh, I want to read that book so badly. It's impossible for me to not like Maggie's work.

After reading The Scorpio Races... not sure if anything else can compare. And damn you are good, getting it read already. I'm so not up on the hot new releases like you are. lol. That's good though, so we aren't both reviewing the same things at the same time. <br /><br />I have to read this Katie Finn stuff! I'm so excited to see she writes under another name. lol and that gif.. love it. That show is so funny.

I agree about Sinner.. it felt more character oriented and we spend a lot of time in their heads and i feel like that's why i loved Sinner so much! and my god COLE! so freaking swoon worthy!! :D as for Katie Finn's book.. i was a bit disappointed because i predicted everything and wished it was a bit more interesting. Maybe the audiobook would have been more fun! <br /><br />great reviews,<br />- Juhina @ <a href="http://www.majibookshelf.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Maji Bookshelf</a>Maji Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041371370691545149noreply@blogger.com
