Class bingo serendipity7/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In a Blink of The Eye (Trapped in a Confined Space) by Elizabeth Eulberg (2 stars)-Reading about the main characters fetish for all things British (she loved Kate and William’s wedding) got to be a bit much. There were so many moving parts I kept getting lost. Two friends agree to accompany their best friend to a winter formal since their friend (Astrid) is still smarting over her girlfriend breaking up with her. Zora in the Spotlight (The Grand Romantic Gesture) by Elise Bryant (2.5 stars)– I had to reread this one real quick cause I totally forget about it. Keagan’s Heaven on Earth (The Secret Admirer) by Sarah Winifred Searle (5 stars)-This was put together like a comic book. I wish I loved the story more, but it just didn’t wow me. God love teens these days, our senior class trip was to an amusement park. We follow Misty on a class adventure trip where she gets close with her crush Roman. I liked the story well enough, but it didn’t knock my socks off. Am I old? I can’t think of one romance novel where that was central to how the hero/heroine got together. Shooting Stars (One Bed) by Marissa Meyer (3 stars)-Sorry guys I don’t recall a one bed romance trope. Now they are and their other friends are at the school’s lock in and there’s a lot of revelations coming Ollie’s way. Both have come out of so so relationships. Both boys are gay, but are not dating each other. We follow Ollie and his best friend Garrett. The flow was not consistent I found.Īuld Acquaintance (The Best Friend Love Epiphany) by Caleb Roehrig (5 stars). This one was one of the longer stories and it dragged. I honestly got lost while reading this one. The Idiom Algorithm (Class Warfare) by Abigail Hing Wen (3 stars)– Is class warfare a romance trope? I guess in historical romance novels. And I felt like the character of Jada was just a manic pixie girl situation happening and I hate that trope. I found the lead to be exhausting throughout this story. And when the two of them get locked in a store it leads to all sorts of discoveries. This one is told in the first person and we hear about how much she can’t stand fellow student Jada Baxter. I read her take on Cinderella last year and will definitely keep an eye out for her other books.Īnyone Else But You (Stranded Together) by Leah Johnson (3.5 stars)-So I love the lead in this one but realized I don’t think I even figured out her first name. I thought this was sweet and I smiled throughout. To get back at her boyfriend (who is also Gabe’s best friend) Piper wants them to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Piper finds out that her boyfriend has been cheating on her and that Gabe knew. As a collection I gave this a three because some of the stories dragged a lot and my attention started to wander.īye Bye, Piper Berry (The Fake Relationship) by Julie Murphy (5 stars)-Told from the point of view of Piper Berry and one of her best friends, Gabe. Per usual, here are my ratings of the following short stories. It says ten romantic tropes transformed and I didn’t get the transformation part myself. ![]()
