Amanda’s Review:
Queue room full of readers(Stands up from chair)Amanda: Hi, my name is Amanda and I’m a Keatyn Chronicles Addict.(Waves hand)Well, Jillian has done it again. She pulled me into Keatyn’s crazy world and made me stay seated until the very last page. I tried, let me repeat, I tried to take my time with this book. But, I couldn’t I devoured it! Then, I went back and re-read it again. Then, one more time for good measure. This is not a book to be set down and walked away from. It was made to be read in one sitting.Love Me is a huge book for Keatyn, and for me, as it was the most emotional. I didn’t know which turn Keatyn was going to take next and sometimes I didn’t understand her reasons for going back in the opposite direction. But, non the less, she took me in and held my hand the entire way front and center.The biggest thing I had to tell myself when reading this book was Keatyn is seventeen. She is going to frustrate me and make me want to pull my hair out. However, she is also talented in making me want to hug her, befriend her, party with her, and high five her. Keatyn has to make some very big decisions in this book. Decisions I don’t think I could or would want to make at my age. With that said, I couldn’t have been more proud with her character development from the beginning of this book- or this series- to the very end. JIllian gives the reader a front row seat to watching Keatyn grow from the first word to the last, and I couldn’t be more proud as a reader watching her go through it.Keatyn has two men after her heart, and another who refuses to let her go. I was very surprised by my own actions of reading this book. I am still team Aiden, but I found myself no longer wanting to see Dawson in the picture, but rather okay with seeing Brooklyn in the picture. (GASPS)Trust me, I am just as surprised, but Brooklyn actually made a comeback, if you will, and I’m very much looking forward to how he’ll come into action in the next installments. As for my Aiden, he is BEYOND swoon worthy in Love Me. I never in my wildest dreams thought I could love him more. And… And… That thing…. With the thing… He did to her… Oh-Em-Gee! Oh, and the rain… The lightening… Did I mention the room? The jeans?… Is it hot in here??(Fans self)Let’s not forget our other favorite characters: Dallas, Riley, Jake, Peyton, Logan, Whitney, and Braxton. They each have their own shinnying moments and redeeming quailities. Oh… And the new man in town- Cooper. All you need to know about him is: Hot!Jillian left me wanting more. She left me with a jaw dropping ending. She left me screaming, “Why!?” Love me is well written, easy flowing, and definitely a page turner that will keep you up late at night. I was left shocked and surprised and I know you will be too!Until Adore Me…ROLL CREDITS,**I had the priveledged to beta read this book and this is an honest review.**
BOOKS 1-3 (and Novella 4.5) OF THE KEATYN CHRONICLES
Gossip girl meets Hollywood in this new series by That Boy author, Jillian Dodd.
Keatyn has everything she ever dreamed of. Her life is following the script she wrote for the perfect high school experience. She’s popular, goes to the best parties, dates the hottest guy, and sits at the most coveted lunch table. She’s just not sure she wants it anymore. Because really, things aren’t all that perfect. Her best friend is threatening to tell everyone her perfect relationship is a scam. Her perfect boyfriend gets drunk at every party they go to. It’s exhausting always trying to look and act perfect. And deep down, she isn’t sure if she has any true friends. To add to the drama, her movie star mom’s long-time fan has turned stalker. An older man is flirting with her and telling her they should make a movie together. And she’s crushing on an adorable surfer. Dating a guy like him would mean committing social suicide. So she writes a new script. One where all the pieces of her life will come together in perfect harmony. But little does she know, there’s someone who will do anything to make sure that doesn’t happen.
I’ve always written scripts for my perfect life. But no way could I have ever scripted this. My life is so far from perfect, it’s not even funny. All because of a stalker.
I’m at a boarding school where I have to lie about who I am. I can’t see my family. I’m tutoring a Hottie God that tortures me with his smile. The most popular girl already hates me. But there’s this boy. This hot, sweet, sexy boy. So I’m going to stop trying to script my life and just live it. Because who knows how long I have left.
I’m not scripting my life anymore. I’m living it. I’m done with the God of all Hotties. I’m going to give my heart to the boy who I think deserves it. The boy whose kisses are hotter than molten lava. The boy who offered me the key to his heart. The boy who asked me to Homecoming in a big, sexy way.There are so many things to look forward to. Parties at the Cave. Homecoming festivities. Drama Tryouts. Shopping trips to NY. But things aren’t always as perfect as they seem. I find out that my best friend has been keeping a secret from me. Not that I can blame him. I have secrets too. But, for now, I’m going to pretend I’m just a normal girl. I’m going to pretend he’s not still out there. I’m going to pretend he’s not getting desperate. I’m going to pretend I’ll never see him again. But, I will. And this time, I might not get away.
