Image
The Masterpiecers (Masterful #1) By: Olivia Wildenstein Published: April 15, 2016 352 pages Source: Netgalley ARC from publisher ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Nineteen-year-old Ivy Redd’s talent with a needle and thread has earned her a spot on a coveted reality TV art competition set in New York’s Metropolitan Museum. The prize: a significant amount of money and instant acceptance into the Masterpiecers, the school that ensures new artists fame and fortune. Her talent has also thrust her and her twin sister, Aster, into the spotlight.  Not that Aster needed help with becoming a media favorite. She managed that on her own by running over a wanted mobster. She told the police it was self-defense, because she couldn’t tell them the truth—the truth would make her sister look bad. Locked in an Indiana jail to await her trial, Aster watches Ivy on the small TV hanging in the dayroom. It’s the highlight of her day, until she finds out what her sister truly thinks...

Never Never By: Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher Published: January 7, 2015 by Hoover Ink 140 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Best friends since they could walk. In love since the age of fourteen.  Complete strangers since this morning.  He'll do anything to remember. She'll do anything to forget.  MY REVIEW: Unique plot! I enjoyed this story. My only complaint - it was too short. Just when it was getting good and we were finally seeing a teeny tiny glimpse into what's going on - BAM. It ends. Boo! I sort of half expected this given the fact that it's only 140 pages but was definitely hoping we got farther along in the story than we did. Pretty much we only see 48 hours of their life. Not all THAT much can happen in 48 hours.
