Heist Society - Ally Carter

“It is an occupational hazard that anyone who has spent her life learning how to lie eventually becomes bad at telling the truth.”

Summary: Katarina Bishop comes from a family of thieves and was trying to leave the family business until she got pulled back in by Hale. Arturo Taccone has had his art collection stolen and it's up to Kat to get it all back and remove her fathers name from the suspect list!

Heist Society is my first ever audiobook listen and I have to say I really liked it!! I really feel like I'm even going through withdrawals without it haha! I take the bus to work each day and it gives me about an hour and a half to listen so it's perfect! It took me about seven chapters to get into the book and to get used to the narration. I think audiobooks are good for me only when it comes to books that I don't care enough about. The thing it seems about Ally Carter's books, is that it takes me that full seven chapters to finally start liking her stories. This series is a million times better then her Gallagher Girls books though! I thought Kat was a really cool MC and I love this whole world of stealing art. The big scenes where they were trying to get the painting back were so awesome! It felt like I was holding my breath the entire time! I think I guessed the thieve correctly at the end of the book but I'm not sure haha! So if you've read this book, let me know so I can discuss and see if I'm right! :) And I am so happy that my library has the second book on audiobook as well! I can't wait to pick it up this week!

Meant To Be - Lauren Morrill

"Point is, maybe some people wouldn't want to be around me all day, but there are people out there who would. And they're smart and funny. And they like some of the same things I like and hate some of the things I hate, but they also introduce me to all kinds of new things. That's as close to 'meant to be' as I can imagine."

Summary: Julia is on a class trip to London where she is forced to be buddies with Jason who she hates. After a night of rule breaking, Julia starts receiving texts from a secret admirer...is it her MTB?

THIS BOOK. OMG. When I finished it, I was literally in tears and wanted to jump around my living room and scream with joy! For this review I think it would be better to just list the things I liked...Jason, London, Jason, rule breaking, Jason, Shakespeare, and oh yeah, JASON. Normally I probably would hate a character like him but I was hooked on him from the beginning. This book was laugh out loud funny and had me at this description of Jason's immaturity on the flight to London when there's extreme turbulence: "Jason's got his arms raised like he's on a roller coaster." He is seriously just the craziest, cutest guy ever. And he sings! I love how he always calls Julia 'Book Licker!' I highlighted so many Jason moments on my Nook and one of my favorites was when he gets Julia a replacement of her Shakespeare book that she lost. I DIED. There is also a really cool twist that I actually wasn't able to figure out that I don't want to spoil so GO READ THIS BOOK :)

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight - Jennifer E. Smith

 

"It's a feeling like falling, like forgetting the words to a song."

Summary: Hadley Sullivan misses her flight to London - by four minutes. What happens next is a whirlwind for Hadley as she meets the perfect boy in the airport. He's British which makes him all the more dreamy and coincidentally is headed back to London as well. Throughout their flight to London, the two connect in a way Hadley hadn't thought possible. But upon arrival, they lose each other in the airport. Will fate bring them back together?

Let me begin by saying, I LOVED THIS BOOK. LOVED IT. I think the last time I truly loved a book was while reading anything by Nicholas Sparks. Smith managed to write a book that made me feel happy and sad (I almost cried!) and makes you believe that true love is out there and it will find you. I think anyone who reads this book will be very pleased - it's definitely worth reading!
