The idea that it is ok to change and grow is also one that I like. <br /><br />2) I really liked Isn't She Lovely, and I'd like to try more Lauren Layne novels. I agree, she does tackle well used plots, but for some reason I was drawn very strongly to that story. I'm glad that this one focuses on friendships. I'm looking forward to the first in the series and then tackling this one.

I'm glad this girl is able to realize that "normal" is what you make it to be. <br /><br />And yay! I'm so happy you enjoyed Love the One You're With! It's hard to pinpoint what exactly makes Lauren Layne's stories stand out, but they do! I loved Grace and I was thrilled she got her own happy ending after her idiot of a BF, Greg! <br /><br />Wonderful reviews, Keertana! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-65005615760669215122013-11-27T10:18:03.116-05:002013-11-27T10:18:03.116-05:00I have heard really interesting things about Ink i...I have heard really interesting things about Ink is Thicker than Water and it seems like a really interesting read. But I haven't heard of Love the One You're With and it sounds like a great story about Grace. She seems like a great character, maybe too old for my liking, but still very interesting.

It's very different and a lot more light-hearted and fun, reading like a regular contemporary opposed to something vastly different. I hope you wind up liking that one!(:Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-50660518544139131772013-11-27T03:09:04.976-05:002013-11-27T03:09:04.976-05:00I've never been a fan of messy novels which is...I've never been a fan of messy novels which is why Ink Thicker Than water did not work for me at all :|<br /><br />Great review! <33Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17035338608975371558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-21803259599565600462013-11-26T15:53:54.794-05:002013-11-26T15:53:54.794-05:00Hm... both sound fab, but I'm drawn a bit more...Hm... both sound fab, but I'm drawn a bit more to Ink.

It's true that we don't get to meet adopted sibling and parents who own tattoo parlor every day in contemporary YA! :) I'm a bit skeptical when I saw the cover of Love the One You're With, but your review convinced me otherwise! I have to agree though, reading too much contemporary adults can be boring after some times. The characters are pretty similar, so we can only hope on the delicious attraction between them I guess. :)<br /><br />Fabulous review, Keertana! <3 Hoping that I can catch up with your reviews now. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224746396123025992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-34586609368571716442013-11-26T10:37:17.652-05:002013-11-26T10:37:17.652-05:00Love that both books you featured today deal with ...Love that both books you featured today deal with change Keertana! I can definitely relate to having a core group of friends for a long time and then suddenly having someone new in the picture and how much that can temporarily throw the dynamic a little off.

I'm glad to hear that the author managed to make sense of a pretty messy story, too - that's a good vote in its favour for me! I'm not sure Love the One You're With is for me, but I'm glad to see you enjoyed it, Keertana!
