#BookReview: Wesley James Ruined My Life by Jennifer Honeybourn @Honeybourn






Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Quinn Hardwick’s having a rough summer. Her beloved grandmother has been put into a home, her dad’s gambling addiction has flared back up and now her worst enemy is back in town: Wesley James, former childhood friend—until he ruined her life, that is.

So when Wesley is hired to work with her at Tudor Tymes, a medieval England themed restaurant, the last thing Quinn’s going to do is forgive and forget. She’s determined to remove him from her life and even the score all at once—by getting him fired.

But getting rid of Wesley isn’t as easy as she’d hoped. When Quinn finds herself falling for him, she has to decide what she wants more: to get even, or to just get over it.

My Review: This debut was adorable!!! I loved the story and how it unfolded.  It really gets to the situation of how perceptions of your memory can be corrupted and how you might think you know something but you really don't.  The romance in this one was cute over load.  I loved how this one was all in Quinn's POV.  It really gave us a full picture of her thoughts and what she was going through.  I have loved Honeybourn's writing since I read When Life Gives You Demons and I will totally be putting her on my list of Auto Buy Authors.  






From School Library Journal

Gr 7–10—Quinn's got a plan to survive the summer and go on the school band trip to England with her bestie in the fall. Then her archnemesis, Wesley, moves back to town and is all over Quinn's life—in band, with her friends, and even at her job at a medieval-themed restaurant. Quinn quickly plots to ruin Wesley's life by getting him fired, but the more time that they spend together, the more Quinn becomes confused about her feelings for him. Honeybourn's debut is everything readers expect and want from a lighthearted summer teen romance. Quinn and Wesley are fun, well-developed protagonists, and there is a full cast of interesting secondary characters, too. The book's even pacing will entice teens from the start and keep them reading. The plot is enjoyably predictable, with a few twists typical of the genre, and the story ties up neatly. VERDICT This pitch-perfect quirky summer romance is ideal for most collections.—Cyndi Hamann, Crystal Lake Public Library, IL
