Justina Griffith and her best friend Hailey used to be Hungtington High's infamous kisser. However, ever since haunted by certain rueful incident eight years ago, Justina'd stopped her kissing possession(not until she found her boyfriend material). When Justina's boy-friend(unofficial) Ian Clark invited her to their high school prom night, she got exasperated on planning her Lip Lock Bliss with him. But lucks kept slipping from her fingers! After a few uneventful incidents, her prom dress totally ruined and so was her date with Ian. There were some misunderstanding between the two love birds and Justina eventually ended up at a 7-eleven store, hungry and exhausted. She met Gilda(the cashier) and Donna(one of the customer), who were kind to treat her and patiently listened to her not so fortunate story...

The whole novel was written in Justina's POV, alternately the chapter flashed back on what happened on her prom night. At some point, the story was hilarious, especially when Justina conned the poor police officer Andrew Bazeer and the dog swapping incident with Brian Sontag. When finally every thing pieced together, the whole story sum up as a humorous, sweet and charm romance! This is certainly a fun and relaxing read!

Category:		FICTION - JUVENILE: Action & Adventure (incl. Interactive Adventures): Action & Adventure The stage was set during Civil War, when United State was under the ruling of Abraham Lincoln. Fifteen years old Madeline Eve Bradford and her father Summoner Bradford sided Union(The Yankee), fought against the Confederate, the Rebel that despised and mistreated the slave(The Negros). While she was boarding with her Aunt Salome, she also met Jake Whitestone (or PAN the journalist), who she had an inclination to. Jake was later joined her as a Union spy.The first half of the book revolves around Madeline and her journey to become an Alias, spies who worked undercover. The second half of the book started her effort of providing intelligence with her special ability(Photographic memory and distinct hearing) for the Union. I reckon I have not much interest in Politics nor battlefields. Hence this novel appears rather dull to me. Sad to say that I failed to connect with the story and the characters. Since it was categorized under adventure and action, it was rather a disappointment to me. I love adventures which I didn't find much in this book(Sigh). Nevertheless this book allow me to learn more about the historical Civil War. Note: I receive the digital ARC of this book from the publisher via Net Gallery.

First of all, I must share the main character's synopsis (which I loved so much) of this book that he narrated to his beloved lost child...


This is one of a sentimental and touching christian novel by Colleen Coble. Story revolved around Clay and Eden, both divorced after the kidnapping of their beloved 6 weeks old daughter, Brianna(Who was known died after the incident). Five years later, Clay sought Eden's help after received an anonymous letter about their daughter's whereabouts, who happened still alive and being temporary placed in Bluebird Ranch(sort like a foster home).

They pretended a married couple(which literally they were), applied for the ranch's counselor job with only 1 mission, which was to  identify their daughter out of the four orphans in the ranch. The story is full of suspense and excitements, it also emphasizes the importance of treasuring and value the people we loves. A must read for book lover!
