I only read the free sample of this book (maybe the first 3 chapters?), but it was enough. Each sentence is littered with product placement: Blackberry pearl this, iphone that, BMW, insert name of some designer shoes, insert different name of designer handbag, designer dress, etc. Unfortunately my answer to the question of whether this 17 year old Victoria Secret model will find love at a boarding school is who cares.
(I received this book from the author in exchange for my review) There is also a lovely interview with author up on my blog! littlehyuts.blogspot.com
The Heaven I Found in Hell is a very fun read! Perfect for when you are in the mood for something light. I enjoyed the authors writing style. She has written a relatable and attention grabbing book. This story also has an important message which makes it perfect for young adults. The main character, Alex, is a wild girl who is used to a glamorous life style. Being thrown into boarding school helps her realize there is more to life than just looks and outrageous partying habits. She is shown what having real friends is like and learns to accept the love that is given to her. I liked that Alex's guy friends have her back when she gets herself into certain situations. You can tell that what she needs the most is support and she definitely finds that in her new friends. Good thing too, because with the degree of drama that seems to follow her she needs them a lot! Alex's relationship with her parents is similar to one I am sure many young adults have with theirs. This makes it easy for the reader to relate to the characters and situations through out the story. As a whole this book was well written and thought out. Alex's character developed and grew nicely as the story progressed. I do feel that this book dragged a little at parts. Some chapters seemed to be more filler than constructive to the plot, which is why I have given it a three strawberry rating. To be honest I was on the fence about it because I did enjoy the story line but in the end I felt that it lacked a certain depth to it. Ashley Andrews does know how to write a romance novel! The romance in this book was great and ripe with sexual tension. If the book focused solely on the romance aspect, I am sure it would be even better. Anyone who enjoys a good romance should pick up one of Ashley's books. I recommend this book as an easy beach read!
I can't take it anymore I don't want to be in this girls head someone should run her over with a bus! I never give up on books I always try to push past things or I'll put a book down to read later because I am just not in the mood for that type of book but this, this is somthing else I am never gonna pick this book up again it was so annoying! Alexandra was so big headed and she made supermodels sound like they were all stuck up and I hated every moment of it. She didn't want to have feelings for Nathan she kept saying it over and over but then she would continue flirting with him and confussing the hell out of him and she didn't know that he liked her (REALLY?!) and when he told her he also said but I don't want to like you because you take nothing seriously and she is always making out with other guys GOD this is the book and it goes in circles so many times and her mom calls her a prostitute and her dad calls her back to say she didn't mean it.
*** This book reminded me of thoughtless not because the stories are similar but because I hated being in Alexandras head just as much if not worse then Kiera's.
17 year old Victoria's s Secret model gets sent to boarding school - young adult book that's so removed from reality, she spends $800 on a denim bag, $1000 dollars on a dress, they drive BMW's, Mercedes, Lexus and Lamborghini! I'm not sure what the message was supposed to be here, I just found some of the characters bratty and didn't take to them and the story slow and unreal.
WORST. BOOK. EVER. needs serious editing as well as character development. The main character was vapid as were her friends. I would give this 0 stars if I could.
