Surprisingly, or maybe not consider in my fave reads are SFF, it's the stretch or poor character description that contemporary romances or contemporary thrillers do. Like having a top performing lawyer at a firm, the one everyone loves and looks up to, having to achieve some weird goal to be considered for the new partner spot. If the lawyer was really the golden child of the company wouldn't they already be the first in line?Alexia Chantelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03048542370172786608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-5313009908385452512019-02-02T21:12:08.866+02:002019-02-02T21:12:08.866+02:00SOme blurbs do tell a LOTSOme blurbs do tell a LOTBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-82765675215433032942019-02-02T21:11:42.984+02:002019-02-02T21:11:42.984+02:00Lol, ok no schools for you!

I'm not a huge fan of YA, and it can't take place in a school setting. I don't know why, but I've never liked a single book set in a school.<br /><br />Melanie @ <a href="http://www.hotlistens.com/tag/reviewed-by-mlsimmons/" rel="nofollow">Hot Listens</a> & <a href="https://booksofmyheart.net/author/melanie/" rel="nofollow">Books of My Heart</a>Melanie (@AudiobookMel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12682752959290631075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-76589627625768380262019-01-31T19:22:07.179+02:002019-01-31T19:22:07.179+02:00Yes those can be toughYes those can be toughBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-54773298577880532972019-01-31T17:33:14.597+02:002019-01-31T17:33:14.597+02:00For me it's "coming of age."
