Grand Encounters by Jen Turano
4.0
Oh, I needed that happy little read. :)
Jen Turano is an author that I save for when I need a happy book to read. While some other reviews have said her books aren’t very realistic because the the trouble the main girls get into, I personally love it and find those parts to be part of the charm. If any other author did it, I probably would roll my eyes a bit, I expect it from this author and it’s what makes her books for me.
My one complaint about this novella is just that. It was a novella. So short! It didn’t feel rushed like many other novellas I’ve read, so that was a good thing. Of course, I would have loved seeing this novella be a novel. ;)
I really liked both Myrtle and Jack, she was great (and while I don’t believe violence is the answer, I admire her creativity of using a book to protect herself) and he was awkwardly adorable.
Overall, it was a very fun read that lifted my spirits a bit. Makes me even more excited for the start of Jen Turano’s new series in a couple months.
