Conclusion

Recommending: Yes

Short Review: This has a very big Pretty Little Liars feel to it, thou the MCs aren't friends. I liked June to a point, but her weight issues made me super concerned, if you don't have periods anymore, you need to gain weight, bottom line sweet heart. Gigi was probably my favorite, she really loved to dance and was there for the right reasons but the ones around her wanted to crush her so badly, like the butterfly incident, ek! Bette... i want you to be badly hurt, for real, you are a horrible person, horrible! I was surprised by the ending mainly because i'm not sure why this would happen given what has happened in the past. I will pick up book 2 to see where this goes!

Short Review: I've been binge watching Z Nation (its on netflix, it's horrible but addicting #noshame) so hello zombie books. I'm very glad i got to this book, i have had it on hold for awhile, the cover alone gives me chills! It's from a male POV, which did get into those weird "boy thoughts", but not too bad that i was turned off to the story itself. The story does progress rather quickly in terms of zombies, and the pop culture references about zombies were nice! It was a bit hard to imagine some parts where details were a bit lacking, and other parts i felt were too detailed. I am eager to see where the story goes in book 2!

Short Review: So let me get this the fuck straight Hannah, you think to yourself.... "Why hasn't either of the TWO FUCKING MEN I'M DATING AT THE SAME MOTHERFUCKING TIME asked me to marry him! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! Then later on you become this petty bitch about his relationship with someone else! SERIOUSLY!? How dense can you be, for real Hannah, for real. Plus she was being super petty about a fucking cobbler, i get that the girl was taking all of Hannah's business, but sheesh. Them taking the shit from the other store was hardcore low.

Thoughts Had: Poor Hannah.

Conclusion

Continuing the Series: Yes
Recommending: Sure

Short Review: I felt like there was a crap ton of recipes in this but i didn't really connect that this is a holiday book so of course she would list more recipes... Anyhow, i don't really get the big deal about this dumb knife that went missing, and really the person killed doesn't even make sense to be the one being killed, like the explanation was too farfetched for me, and of course Hannah finds the bottom, but it made me laugh to read about how Hannah's cookies were around the dead body!

Conclusion

Recommending: Yes

Short Review: I felt like this one lacked something. For most of this book, all i could focus on was her trying to find the missing thing for the damn cupcakes, sure the guy is dead, but what the fuck is missing from that girl's perfect cupcakes?! I feel pretty back for Mike and the other cops in this town, Hannah solves everything and they didn't figure shit out, but they have the nerve to treat her like shit when it comes to her helping them Give Hannah the damn job!!!!! The little cat side story was a bit weird, but i'm not really a cat person so maybe that's why. I can't wait for Andrea to have the baby!

Short Review: So imagine your boyfriend calls you up at random, and tells you he bought a house, but doesn't ask you to move in to that house, nor asks you to marry him, what would be your first thought!? Hannah's first thought.... He must not love me because i have a few extras pounds on me... Wow. Way to be a positive role model there Hannah. So she goes on a diet, which come on, you own a bakery, good luck. OH and did you know Hannah has a younger sister?! Neither did i SINCE SHE HAS NEVER BEEN MENTIONED BEFORE THIS DAMN BOOK!!!!!!

Thoughts Had: Yah that's too far of a stretch.

Conclusion

Continuing the Series: Yes
Recommending: Yes

Short Review: This book has the recipe for the best Blueberry Muffins, and that's all i can think about now. I am so freaking glad Connie was killed, she was the biggest bitch around and i was very glad she wound up dead. The way she treated Jeanie (or Jenny, or Jamie, i didn't catch the name right and i had the audio... ) It bother me that when Connie asked for ovens, they were all too busy and she had to use Hannah's but when Hannah needs ovens, she finds some right off the bat... Hm. Must be nice to be the main character. The back story behind the adopted kid was nice, stretch way to thin for my liking thou.
