Book: Without Merit
Author: Colleen Hoover
By: Cece Hymes
I have really been hooked on this author’s books. This book here I could not put down was about a girl named Merit who has a family that she’s been keeping secrets for years. She has a twin sister that she is not very close to and hasn’t been close to for years. Merit feels like she is the outsider of the family. Merit likes to collect trophies since she doesn’t win much; she looks at these trophies as being a winner. While at an antique shop she sees Sagan. She thinks something special about this guy at first sight.
Throughout the book it shows what family goes through. It also shows that communication goes a long way. Communication is the way to anything these days. People hold onto things for years and things that could have been done differently, looked at differently or solved. If just people open up their mouths and talk.
I have been learning to open up more. It’s not good to keep everything in. This book will make you like WOW. Merit gets fed up with holding all these things inside of her and decides to write to her family and tell them all the secrets that need to get out. Merit makes an escape plan to get out and for everyone to not have Merit anymore but her plan does not go as planned. Merit and family are going through a lot will they all ever come together.

Book: The Girl With Stars In Her Eyes
Author: XIO Axelrod
By: Cece Hymes
This book was about a girl name Antonia “Toni” Bennette who mother was a singer and when she was a little girl her mom sent her off to be with her dad one, she never even met in her life. As she gets shipped off, she meets another kid name Sebastian quick.
Sebastian was a kid that loved his guitar and music. He had a rough time living with his dad and was glad to meet Antonia. They became best friends. The entire time Antonia always had the biggest crush on Sebastian.
As they grew older, they saved money together and everything until one day Sebastian just took his share and left. Antonia was so heart broken and mad that he would do that to her. As they grew up, they both stayed in the business 8 years later they bumped into each other, but Antonia still was pissed with him. Antonia, making a name for herself went to audition for a group the Lilly’s.
The Lilly’s is a band that is looking for someone temporarily while the main group leader gets herself together from the fast life. Antonia, who calls herself Toni, can handle the pressure. Toni is used to performing in small places and doesn’t want the celebrity scene. As she gets into this group, she learns a lot and she and Sebastian open up to each other more and more like old times. Toni finds a friendship with the Lilly’s but keep in mind that it’s only temporary.
The group practices for a big show that is coming up and when the show happens that they practiced for a lot of craziness goes down and Toni saves the moment.
I love how this book shows real love. How it’s good to be friends first before a relationship. This book also shows what bands and people in the entertainment world go through. Things are bad, good, a lot with contracts if you don’t read and more.
I love the saying “It isn’t where you came from, it’s where you’re going that counts” never forget that.
If you love a good band and love story this is the book for you.
Book: The Dating Playbook
Author: Farrah Rochon
By: Cece Hymes
This book was a great book. It was about Taylor Powell that is in a financial bond and trying to come up out of it. She starts a class and meets an athlete that needs help getting in shape. She has 2 best friends that they get up with each other for advice, lunches and encouragement.
Jamar Dixon is a former footballer who wants back into the NFL. He is convincing that Taylor can get him back in shape from a knee injury. He doesn’t want anyone to know she is training him. So, they work out a deal.
Taylor and Jamar happen to tell a journalist they were dating so they pretend a fake relationship. The more they are together the more they end up falling for each other. As I read this book, I love that they both bring out the best out of each other. They don’t judge one another, and they encourage one other. The great thing is always starting a friendship first. Love comes whenever, it just comes you never expect it.
I love that he finally figured it out and was working on and trying to get past a big tragedy that happened to his best friend that he had been carrying for years. Taylor had things in her life that needed to be addressed with her family and her schooling. I love that it took someone else that cares for her to look in and see some things about herself that needed to be worked on or looked at.
I also think it’s good that people see a therapist and are able to talk to someone. A love a good love story. Love never plays by the rules.
