The Cutting Room Floor Book Review

Desmond has been in love with Riley who is his neighbor. Riley likes both boys and girls. She gets outed in a big way with her girl friend Emma. Dez and Riley are making a movie together . Riley is also trying to solve the murder of her favorite teacher.

I think this book was trying to be many things. I had hoped that it would focus on Riley figuring her self out or focus on the mystery. Dez is keeping secrets and wasn't as good friend as he appeared to be. Riley does closer to solving the mystery and figuring herself out too. I do think that the cover is pretty cool.

Book Review= C

Thanks so much to Flux for the book and this is my Honest Review.

Felicity has to get her hair dyed , and she is really a strawbie. Reds are the hierarchy in this town. You are someone because you have red hair, and that power. She lives in Starletville.

Felicity loves art and is dating the football player Brent. Gabby blackmails into doing things before the Starlet pageant. Her mom is also on the pageant committee, and she has never married. Felicity also has two twin brothers with red hair.

Felicity does all the things that Gabby asks her to do , and does realize that's it not all about hair color that matters. Felicity also finds a new love , and realizes what makes her happy. She finds her own voice & not a cookie cutter red head girl. She sorta makes friends with Gabby . This book wasn't about pageants , but so much more.

I think this book  is like a micros cam into media attention to movie stars. They make the big money , and also have a platform to speak their mind. Does this mean I think that they are the best or worthy or my time. No these are people who make choices, but I don't have to follow them.

Hair color shouldn't matter and its what's in the inside that matters

Braeden has to make some tough choices. Trey also made a choice that consequences for all. Braeden also seemed to studying all the players in the chess board , and trying to solve the mystery that in Belle Dam. I did enjoying seeing some romance between Trey & Braeden.

I did enjoy seeing Catherine and Jason a bit more in this book. Jade always awesome, but I think all the build up to solve this , and it end up being really easy. Jason also seemed to let down the walls in his relationship with his son. Drew made me laugh as much as the previous book.

While in this world she learns that this world is different from her Earth. Also some things are also still the same. Sasha is able to tether her self to Juliana. She is also trying to solve the mystery of who is trying to hurt her.
Sasha has feelings for Thomas, but ( Juliana) is betrothed to Prince Callum. Sasha ends up meeting the rest of  Thomas's family. Sasha loved the 12th Night by Shakespeare, but in this world she ends up reading The Odyssey. Julianna marring the prince will create peace in the land.

This book reminded me of Sliders and Fringe which are shows I adored. I did enjoy this book very much and it was a fast read. I am glad that Sasha doesn't really want to get married , but didn't like all the boys liking her. Glad that I found a new author to read. I love the cover too.

Kelsey is Bliss friend who is traveling Europe with no set destination in mind. She has had many one night stands, and drinks a lot. She is trying to forget her painful past and the many family issues .

Kelsey meets Hunt , and always seems to put her foot in her mouth with him. She is very attracted to him . She is blunt and Honest with him, and what she would like to happen with him. Hunt also has some issues that he is dealing with too. He is also keeping a secret from her too. While there is incident that bring them together , I did enjoy their travels , and how they slowly let down their walls.

Hunt and Kelsey also had some HOT moments , and some very fun adventures. I started this book and stayed up late to read it. But there was only 1 issue that I would have liked to been resolved , but it wasn't at all.
