Immerse In Crush (The Girls Of Summer, #1) Translated By S.R. Silcox File Digital Edition
light read. I really liked it. I think I would have loved it had it included the epilogue which is Maddie and Tess one year later, But I get the draw of signing up for her newsletter, Once you do that you do in fact get that epilogue : Got this for free and it was a pleasant, short read of young summer love with a little teenage angst but no real drama.
No real character development but then that wasn't really the purpose of the story, I'd read more by this author I think Cute quick read, I'll have to pick up book two!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review, This was a short, light, and fluffy novel,
After reading 'Lies We Tell Ourselves' it's more or less exactly what I wanted, Sometimes you have to break up what you read, and I knew going in that this was going to be a short read and that everything would end well.
Tess and Maddie were fine, though I think the book needed to go more into Maddie's head, As it stands, most of the book focuses on Tess, and never really gets into the nitty gritty of why Maddie does what she does, nor does it ever really show any of her family, despite the fact that her dad is kind of the shadowy bad guy lurking in the corner.
It makes mention of him, and there's Skype calls, but he never appears, and I don't think there was ever an actual conversation, It was a bit disappointing after all the build up, I was expecting him to show up at some point to try and cause trouble in person,
The side characters are decent enough, Pop and Gran are fun, as are Lizzie and Will, Adam and Freya get much less focus, but that makes sense, since they don't show up until towards the end, and most of the focus is on Tess and her hometown.
There wasn't much substance to be found, Their relationship just kind of happens, There's nothing really deep or meaningful about it, And that's not necessarily a complaint but if you're looking for a romance that delves deeper into characters and their motivations, this isn't the place to look,
I did like the fact that it wasn't at all a coming out story, I don't believe a single character even raised a question over the fact that they were both girls, And that's definitely a nice change of pace,
It's nothing special, It's a fun, quick read, with some endearing characters and a quick moving plot, I gave itstars, but realistically, I'd say it's closer to,or even aI just didn't feel like giving it a lower score, The fact that I read this after an emotionally draining book might've had an impact in that regard, so take that into consideration as well, One of the problems of downloading "free" books is you well, I don't know what will be arriving, and I went on the name old SR can I be that informal as I loved her Amy's Rest but this is clearly for young adults so quite why I read it I'm not sure very airyfairy, smooth and vanilla all very age appropriate.
This is a short, sweet, summery book about two girls who lead completely different lives meeting by accident and falling in love, It's cute, it's fun, and it's free to read on Kindle get it on Amazon US sitelinkhere and Amazon UK sitelinkhere, If you're looking for a fun f/f romance which can easily be read in one sitting, then this one is definitely worth checking out,
Crush takes place in Australia and follows Tess a small town girl looking forward to her hometown's annual Crush Festival and Maddie a girl with a secret who comes to Tess's town with the intention of getting away from it all.
Tess and Maddie have undeniable chemistry and the romance between them is very cute indeed, The Crush Festival plotline which drives the story is also fairly interesting, and all of the side characters especially Tess's best friends Lizzie and Will are good fun.
There's plenty here to keep you entertained and it's very easy to find yourself flying through the pages,
Crush is somewhat cliched and predictable, and it was a little cheesy for my personal taste, but if you like your romance fluffier than I do I'm sure that you'll love it.
And, no matter what I may think, I really enjoyed reading Crush, This book brought a smile to my face and it was exactly the kind of read that I needed at the time, This is such a happy little book and I would thoroughly recommend it, no matter my personal opinion of it,
Crush is the first book in sitelinkS, R. Silcox's Girls of Summer series a series of books about young girls falling in love with each other during the summertime, which Silcox promises will all have happy endings.
I'll definitely be checking out sitelinkAfter Summer: The Girls of Summer at some point in the near future and hopefully I'll enjoy it just as much if not more as I enjoyed Crush.
I loved this book!
Tess has lived in Chesterfield her entire life, Maddie is trying to hide from her past, A chance collision changes both of their lives,
The unfolding relationship between Tess and Maddie is that tentative, sweet build up that makes your heart melt, Tess is a completely believable character, going through worries, doubts, and family troubles in a very realistic way, Maddie is secretive without being over the top, or in anyway that makes the reader want Tess to run away,
While the story line is obvious for Tess and Maddie, you still can't help falling in love with the girls and hoping their story has a happy ending.
Definitely give this a shot! A gentle little bit of YA ff bubblegum romance, The plot twists were visible from a mile off but it still had a sweet ending, I downloaded this as a free book on my Kindle and I am so happy that is did, I finished in one day because I was hooked from the beginning! It was such a sweet love story with lovable characters, The chemistry between Tess and
Maddie made me smile so much while I read it, And I loved that their friends and family were so supportive of their relationship, It was the picture of how m/m and f/f relationships should be treated, as nothing less than normal because that's what they are, I loved this book! Excellent YA novel of two young women meeting in Australia, Tess and her friends struggle to help the annual festival survive, When all seems lost the new neighbor may have some friends of her own, Great book for High School students, Thank you to the author for writing stories for the YA crowd, YA light storyline,nothing major, . blah,blah unbelievably cute!!!
i dont remember buying this on my kindle app but i'm so glad i did it's such a sweet story and it doesn't involve any coming out and no one is homophobic and the girls get to like each other and flirt and become good friends while still hoping for more
the main Plot things were pretty easily identifiable early on but for me that made it a lot of fun just cuz u get to anticipate everything and u KNOW it's coming but its still so good and sweet
not to mention the tess's dude best friend knows she's gay and isn't ever rude or gross and everyone in this book is just so supportive of them and it was super refreshing.
would highly recommend to any gay girls looking for something sweet,
