A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston
1.0
This book was probably one of the worst books I have read in a while. I had been looking forward to this book for forever because the concept was everything I had ever dreamed of. However, the execution was not good in the slightest. I could get over the whole mixing things up, running gag. But the first thing I had a problem with was her telling these characters, her opinions on their happily ever after. To you, they were fictional characters, but here they are real people with real emotions. Don't be upset when they get pissed off at your judgment. The whole time I was thinking that Anderson was just 1/2 of an unfinished ship from before the writer died and I wouldn't have a problem with that. However, we find out he's her widow and has been living in the book as a way to be close to her. That makes the love story if you could call it that 100 times worse. If a man showed up at my door months after telling me, he wasn't over his wife being like I'm ready to be with you now I would slam the door in his face.

It was good. I especially loved the ending. The middle part was the majority of the book that I didn't like. It seemed all over the place. At first, I thought she had schizophrenia because she was hearing a voice in her head telling her to kill. It wasn't until it was discovered that the voice and person in her mind was savvy that everything makes sense. However, I'll admit it's a little weird to continue to see her dead best friend, even after she remembered what happened
Seas and Greetings by Sierra Simone, Julie Murphy

This was my least favorite of the series so far. It felt completely off from the rest of the series. The whole other books have to do with movies and making movies for a specific producer. All of a sudden you’re on a random cruise ship? It doesn’t make sense. The name of the twilight parody musical thing was already enough for me to wanna close this book and never open it up again.

I agree with a lot of other people. this felt like it could have been split in half and used as a replacement for the other novellas, with one of them getting the full book instead. my main issue was her parents. She's over thirty and they are treating her like a teenager. Wanting to take her baby for themselves to avoid the "stigma" of a out of wedlock baby at her age is unforgivable and down right laughable
