The Damned by Renee Ahdieh

I love Bastien.
Every time I hear Michael and the fact that he's a police person, my brain just jumps to Jane the Virgin.
Aaaaaand the world just got a whole lot bigger.
So those last few chapters....anyone?

The Young Wives Club by Julie Pennell

Summary: "In Toulouse, Louisiana finding your one true love happens sometime around high school. If you're lucky, he might be the man you thought he was. But as four friends are about to find out, not every girl has luck on her side."

Well, I'm not sure how I feel about this book. It was a somewhat cozy and easy read. It made me laugh a little, cry a little and sigh in frustration a lot. The story is told from 4 different points of view, but they all kind of meshed together. And some of the messages, whether intentional or not, were a bit alarming at times. Actually, the girls' relationships with their boyfriends/husbands were downright disturbing throughout much of the book.

Ultimately, it was an okay read, and I liked the author's writing style. I may give her future books a chance as well.
