Oh Scarlett!!!

Such a good light hearted short about Scarlett's first kiss! We all fell in love with James and Penny... And their daughter is now a senior in high school and trying to navigate love! Loved the interactions between all the kids of the originals. Definitely worth the read.

Ok… I love these kids, but I was also giggling at the grownups too. This book… Scarlett was so good. It took me back to high school, and how everything was a big deal. Her kiss thief was definitely sneaky. I love Jacob. The story of Brooklyn & Jacob’s father was so sweet, and you can see the similarities of Miller & Jacob. The ending… oh my goodness the ending! This one was wild. I was giggling, but sometimes the angst  was heartbreaking at times. I can’t wait to see what comes next! 

Ivy has a way of bringing you into her characters world. I absolutely love the Hunters and can not wait to keep reading about them. I will forever believe that the Hunter and Caldwells are real and want to meet them. This story was short, but the most perfect addition into their world.

Welcome to Empire High second generation . I loved loved loved seeing all the kids grown up. However , it seems history is repeating itself and I’m not 100 percent sure how I feel about that. As usual the writing was good and I had a lot of laugh out loud moments and a few moments where I was sad but I can’t help but feel these kids are slightly more immature than what their parents were at that age.

Scarlett reminds me a lot of myself in a way and that truly shows the extent of how Ivy can write relatable characters that feel like you are reading about yourself or your best friend .

My only complaint with this book is that I wish it was longer because I just couldn’t get enough of it .

short and hot

Goodness gracious! I NEED to know more!!!! One annoying thing is the recap that took up 1/3 of this novella because I have already read it twice. I need book 2 ASAP however because I need to know. Also, I want Axel’s POV!

trash

Literally what was the point of reeling us in and getting us invested to just leave us with nothing. This one makes me even madder than the first Scarlett book! I thought this was the redemption one to not leave me mad!

Don’t get me wrong I love love love ivy smoak but this just didn’t feel up to par for me for her. It’s good don’t get my rating wrong but it feels rushed, and just not as good as I expected. I love we see penny but it’s so brief and just ehh. James yes I believe would be controlling but why just one kid doesn’t seem like thts how he’d b.
