#125 Book 1- Meet me in the Silicone Valley
This was a very easy read and an extremely fun one. It was a really well written book with an
interesting storyline and very likeable characters that made it easy to fall in
love with the story. In short I really enjoyed reading this book and look
forward to the next in the series.
The main character is Juliette, a young lady who has
finished university and has moved home to live with a friend from high school.
Her and friends from university who now work at the same company call
themselves the princesses based upon their likeness to Disney princesses. The
book centres on Juliette’s life and how she is managing being back at home with
her friends after a summer in England with her now ex-boyfriend. As Juliette
becomes emotionally attached to not one but two new characters in this book, it
is a learning character for her who is usually the shy wallflower type. I loved
the main character due to how she is written, like she could very easily be a
real life person and that her characteristics made her very likeable.
The secondary characters include Cassie, The Princesses,
Zach and Nate. Cassie is the friend from high school although there is bad
blood there involving a boy Juliette had a crush on and Cassie stole away, the
two in this book are living together showing readers two people from completely
opposite end of the scales with opposite personalities. The princesses are
Juliette’s friends from university; they are called the princesses due to their
likeness to Disney characters including Princess Jasmine, Mulan, Snow White and
Merida. There are a lot of different characters included in the group of people
referred to as the princesses however they all seem to have similar
characteristics. They all seem to be very loud and willing to talk about their
sexual experiences, almost the opposite to Juliette. Zach is a character also
known as abs guy, he is a swimmer in the same place as Juliette and first comes
to the reader’s attention in a sexy dream Juliette is having; the two
characters go on to have a date. Nate is a doctor who attends to Juliette after
an injury in a sporting game; the two characters go on to sext each other
pictures of their bodies and then go on a date.
The storyline and pacing are superb leaving us with a cliff-hanger
and desperate to know which of the two guys Juliette is involved with is going
to contact her. The storyline I thought was very original and extremely fun to
read and the pacing gave us a great intro into the characters and then brought
us on a journey with them.
I loved this book, 5 stars.
#126 Book 2- Kiss me in the Silicone Valley
Another really easy read that was fun and got me in the mood
for summer and all the excitement it brings. This series so far has been a new
and enjoyable read with really fun and lifelike characters that I find very
easy to fall into. Anyone who has been to university and can identify their
friendship group using characters from TV or film will like me recognise and
fall in love with the characters in this book.
The main character in this book is Juliette, in this book
she is still struggling with the two men in her life and is trying to balance
these men with the help of her university friends ‘the princesses’. Juliette in this book goes through tremendous
character development and turns from small wallflower to a slightly more
confident version of that person and I expect there will be more growth in the
next book.
The secondary characters include all of the princesses,
Cassie the roommate, Nate the hot doc and Zach the swimmer. The princesses as always
are supportive in their own way and have issues going on in their own life
however they still make the effort to see each other regularly and catch up in
what is going on in each other’s lives. Cassie is still a pain in the arse and
attention seeker and is still in some kind of relationship with the same guy
from the first book. Nate is a lot more present in this book with him and
Juliette dating on a more serious level whereas Zach gets side tracked a little
bit.
The pacing and storyline in this book make it more
enjoyable. And the character development through these first two books shows
that this series still have a lot to offer can I can’t wait for book 3 in the
series to see who our leading lady will choose.
4 stars thanks for letting me review these books J
#127 Book 3- Be with me in the Silicone Valley
This was another easy read although even at the start of
this book it is fairly easy to see who is going to win the battle for Juliette’s
love life. This book also differs greatly from the first two as it moves more
along the lines of a traditional romance book which the first two try to stray
from; but I felt like this was a good move because at this stage I already knew
how great the characters were.
The main character as in the other two books Juliette; in
this book she very much invests her time in dating Nate, and adding a few
steamy moments into the mix allowing readers see even more intense character
development on Juliette’s part. I’ve grown to love the realness of this
character throughout the first two books and now in this book I feel like all
ends have been tied up nicely, while I would like to read more about her and
Nate as a couple and what happens in their relationship next.
The secondary characters are the same as in the other two
books although with the book being more centred on Juliette and Nate than their
relationships with other characters they were not mentioned as much in this
book.
The storyline and pacing in this book are very different to
the others in the series; it didn’t feel like there was very much going on other
than the steamy parts with Nate and the character development with Juliette.
3.5 stars, I just thought taking this book in another
direction made it a less of an easy read.
