Title: ChinaRich Girlfriend Author: Kevin Kwan Series: Crazy Rich Asians, number 2 Genre: Adult/ Romance/ International Pages: 479 This book, the second in the CRA trilogy did not disappoint at all!

Title: Crazy Rich Asians Author: Kevin Kwan Series: Crazy Rich Asians, number 1 Genre: Adult/ Romance/ International Pages: 546 I enjoyed this book a lot.

Ms. Harrison is the woman who brought us The Clique and Alphas. That being said, although I initially loved the …
In Daddy-Long-Legs, Judy goes to to a girl’s college and meets many new types of people, makes life-long friends, travels to places she’d never thought she’d go and experiences incredible new things. Segue! I think that a poor orphaned girl (whose name was literally chosen from a gravestone and the phone book) would love any chocolate dessert that was presented …
Author: Jean Webster Series: kind of the sequel, Dear Enemy, takes place in the same world but not with our protagonist. Genre: YA Pages: 185 When I first saw this book, it was sitting sadly on the shelf at the library. The front cover was particularly boring featuring an ambiguously aged girl sitting with a pen and paper half smiling out of a window. …
