I. Love. Goodreads!
If it were not for this amazing social, book-reading-way-better-than-facebook network, I would have never even heard of these incredible books that I've been reading! And "Easy" is a prime example...
I absolutely adored this book! It was sweet, funny, sensual-- with a touch of angst in all the right places. I loved the characters and was able to build a close connection with them immediately. The writing was AMAZING, and the story flowed like a catchy song.There was a cute and wonderful twist that had me smiling like a fool. This story also touches on the subject of rape in a very tasteful and classy manner, all while undeniably conveying the seriousness of this horrid offense. I was pleased to see that this issue was not glossed over and was handled with a delicate but effective grace that kept the story from taking a turn towards the dark side...
Above all things fun and enjoyable in this sexy read was an important message of personal strength, forgiveness, and hope. This book has, without a doubt, become one of my unforgettable favorites!

I really want to read this! I don't think it's out yet. I can't even find this one on my Nook. But I will keep u posted. It looks SO good!!
Ahh, ok...just read that it comes out may 25th...
absolutely awesome book! I hope you enjoy it :)

Well, I am really curious what you will think about this one, I will be starting reading soon too :)
Sara E. wrote: "Yay! & Squee! LOL"Haha...you have intrigued me so much, I just couldn't wait to read it! You should totally be the official spokesperson for this book! ;)
Oh I owe it all to Emily, I just can't stop talking about it. I am re-reading some favorite parts right now. I hope you like it as much!
Just finished today. I thought it was pretty good, but not nearly as good as Slammed. I gave it 4 stars. Still, it was a page turner!

Oh crap!!! Whenever I put my foot down and say I am not going to read that one, you write a review like this.....arrggg. Back to the TBR drawing board.
Tom wrote: "Oh crap!!! Whenever I put my foot down and say I am not going to read that one, you write a review like this.....arrggg. Back to the TBR drawing board."Lol...Read it, Tom! It's not like "Thoughtless" at all. (Which i liked but know you didn't) There is no tiresome love triangle. The Hero is sweet and mysterious- never cruel. The heroine is smart, strong, and decisive! It was such a great read!!! :)
No more poking and proding you already freaking snagged me!! Actually Leslie almost got me but I escaped. I can only hide for so long it'll be easier to just read it...haha
Just finished this book and loved it as well.

JoJo- so glad u liked it!
And your so right about Goodreads. I remember getting amazon's recommendations and they are not even close to once you know what your GR friends like. And there is no one to rant to before during and after reading a book. Its like not even half of the book reading experience when the book is good.
Wonderful review, Kris. This book surprised me and ended up one of my favorites.
Kristen wrote: "Wonderful review, Kris. This book surprised me and ended up one of my favorites."It was a pleasant surprise for me, as well. Definitely not your typical YA read!
I'm glad you liked it Kris. I found it to be a breath of fresh air from my normal reading material.
Emily wrote: "I'm glad you liked it Kris. I found it to be a breath of fresh air from my normal reading material."Thanks, Emily. It certainly was!
Awesome review Kris, you nailed it! I love Goodreads too; I have ventured out into genres I never would have if I wasn't a part of this group. I am so glad you liked it as much as I did; so much the cover is my wallpaper on my Nook!

Goodreads is way better than Facebook!

Thanks, Karla! :)
I went to start this the other night at work and it wasn't on my Kindle...DOH Probably start it next week.
Tom wrote: "I went to start this the other night at work and it wasn't on my Kindle...DOH Probably start it next week."Aw, man!! Lol. Well, I'm excited that you're going to read it!...Can't wait to see what you think so be sure to update ;)
Once again, great review. Just added this one on my Kindle!
Molly wrote: "Once again, great review. Just added this one on my Kindle!"That's so sweet, thank you Molly! I think you're going to really like this one! Enjoy :)
I loved this review, so exited to start this!!

I loved this book. I really like Tammara Webber's writing, I read her Between the lines series also and really enjoyed it.

I felt the exact same way about Easy! It was so well written and such a refreshing read! Great review!!
Stacey wrote: "I felt the exact same way about Easy! It was so well written and such a refreshing read! Great review!!"Thank you, Stacey! It was refreshing :)
I just read this book and LOVED IT!!! It caught my attention from the very beginning and held it to the end.
Amy wrote: "I just read this book and LOVED IT!!! It caught my attention from the very beginning and held it to the end."Same here- it was amazing! So glad you loved it :)
I really liked this book. The only not so good part is that it could be a bigger story but maybe we can be gifted with a book 2... And i agree with you, goodreaders i far too better than facebook :)
Way better! Lol...Unfortunately, the author has mentioned that this story will not move forward with more books, but I believe she is planning on doing a spin-off on one of the secondary characters. She did not mention which one...
Kris I agree with you about the book and about your opinion of Goodreads. I tell my husband that Goodreads is my Facebook, lol. I totally love this site. And yes, there are many books that I would have missed if Goodreads didn't exist...
Well, at least is someting.... Lets wait for it
Vanessa-- exactly! Especially all of these wonderful self-published ones :)Fabiana-- looking forward to it :)
I've read this 3 times already and I still can't get over it! :) this book is truly amazing
Right?? It was incredible! I've read it only once but definitely plan on reading again :)
You're review is great. I've been looking for a book like Slammed by Colleen Hoover and this one keeps getting mentioned. Also, I love your comment about Goodreads. It's so true. I've read so many books I would've never read if I wasn't chatting on GR.

I loved this book, do you have any recommendations on books like it?
