lolamosk's review against another edition
lighthearted
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Thank you to Kelly Anne Blount for reaching out to me and offering me the chance to read and review the Twin River High series prior to its release!
This is the third book in the series and I am officially addicted. I seriously can’t get enough of these characters, the drama, and the cheesy love stories. I also can’t get enough of Rush and Blounts writing either! These books are so easy to read, have tons of humor, suck you right in and force you to feel all the feelings!
I loved Victoria in the previous two books, so I was thrilled to finally get to read her love story! Her relationship with Corey was so innocent and fun! I loved how they just clicked, and she accepted him
for who he was outside of his IG fame. They are the perfect match!
And I got to see my favorites - Landon & Hope make an appearance! Everyone loves Jace & McKenna (how could they not?) but Landon & Hope hold a special place in my heart!
And Tony? He was the cutest and sweetest! When can we get his happy ever after?
And Matthew STILL sucks...

Getting dumped is pretty brutal, getting dumped publicly and having it go viral on Instagram is the stuff nightmares are made of, at least for a high school teenager.
Victoria has made a vow, to spurn Todd by bringing the hottest dates to the Winter events. Coincidentally, in walks online sensation Corey, who is looking for a change of pace from the fast life of Hollywood to chill and recuperate. They strike up a contractural fake- relationship which happens to be one of my favorite tropes.
Corey had a nice depth of character as having high exposure to the public eye can chip away at your individualism as you are constantly told to be this or say that. I loved that Corey was able to embrace his songwriting as an outlet for emotional release. I appreciated that Corey was allowed to build bromances with a couple of the characters, in particular Tony, who I can't wait to read more about!
Victoria and Corey's relationship was fun, flirty and a breeze to read, I loved how sweet their interactions were and the hilarious "couple-off" moments between them and Todd.
My peeve with this book is that I didn't see as much realism as I have become accustomed to within the Twin River High series. By this I mean despite covering hard topics such as Cancer, alcoholism, and vehicular accidents this read more like a cute rom-com, not to say that anything is wrong with this, but I can't say I was as emotionally invested as with the previous characters.
Speaking of the other characters, I was tickled pink to see Hope and Landon's cameos as they were one of my favorite couples from the series. This is a great young adult, romantic comedy with a nice tinge of revenge.
Thank you to Entangled publishing, the authors, and NetGalley for providing me with an arc.

I adored this book. The winter vibes the different worlds and all the fun wintery scenes. Corey Chaos is just looking for a break a chance to be normal again despite his budding music career. He gets his chance in Twin River alongside his managers daughter Victoria. Victoria has just gone though a awful breakup set in the public stage of the lunch room. She’s just looking for a chance not to be the laughing stalk of the school anymore. Enter Corey. Together the pair helps each other out through their fake relationship complete with a contract. What possibly could go wrong?
I loved how this was not your run of the mill fake dating romance. Corey’s character in this case added an extra layer to the story that I absolutely enjoyed. Rush and Blount have done it again and I can’t wait to see what they dram up next!

Ok this one definitely made me cry. It was full of friendship and two people growing as individuals and falling for each other which are all things I’m always excited to read. It was a little campy but I definitely enjoyed it. The main characters fit together so well I was definitely rooting for them the whole time. The “villain” I just want to punch, which for me means the authors created a great character. All in all this was another great book in the Twin River High series. I can’t wait to see who we get to meet next!

Thank you to Entangled Publishing for providing the ARC for an honest review.
This is a really cute story, even if it is short on unique storylines. Fake dating seems to be one of the latest trends in young adult books ever since the "To All the Boys" trilogy became popular. However, what this book lacks in originality it makes up for in great chemistry, adorable characters, and a simple plot line that allows you to drop whatever stress is in your lives to get absorbed in the story instead. If you're looking for a story to help you check out of your life and focus on someone else's problems instead, this book is for you!

What's a girl to do after a bad (& very public) breakup? For Victoria the answer is complicated: Stage a fake dating scheme with the rising star your dad manages, who happens to be in town for a few weeks.
This was fun! I loved the small twists to the typical fake dating plot. I liked how Victoria and Corey's relationship progressed. Chaos Theory is one of those stories that just makes you happy. It's SNOW MUCH FUN. (and the setting is an Ice Festival and Ice Ball - as someone who has witnessed snow ~3 times this was fun to read about, but I know I wouldn't last a day...)
This is the third installment of the Twin River High series and Kelly Anne Blount & Lynn Rush haven't had a single miss in this series! (I know we are getting blessed with three installments released in a month- but Blount & Rush have crafted so many wonderful side characters that I wouldn't mind reading more about)
All in all, this was a cute fake dating story (with a dash of revenge) that I really enjoyed!
Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled: Crush for an eARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

My favorite in the series so far! Chaos Theory starts off with a plot of revenge after being publicly humiliated and having the entire thing go viral. I've enjoyed this series so much. Each of the characters grow and develop with every book, making you wish they could've been your friends in high school. With minimal drama and plenty of laughter, you'll fall in love with Twin River High too!
