The importance of being Roxie by Cori Cooper

The Importance of Being Roxie by Cori Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a poignant story about a high school kid who suddenly has a realization that she has thrown away most of her high school years and now wants to make a name of our own.
In this angst, she takes up a lot more on her plate than she could afford and lands into trouble.
Roxie is a very relatable character; anyone who is parenting a teen can relate to the angst one way or the another. The pressure to perform, the ups and downs of high school life hits her and how she tries to navigate it forms the crux of the story. I loved Roxie and would definitely look for more from this author.

The Amaranth Charter

The Amaranth Charter: A Novelette by Nathaniel hc Kim
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a different kind of a read, I have watched movies like this before, and am familiar of such romances from mythology. Reincarnation tales and love spanning multiple lives is a very endearing concept in India.
The story revolves around the Fishing Charter Boat captain Joshua and a mysterious young woman Elena who books a charter with him for three days and three nights. Though initially awkward, after few conversations, Joshua begins to realize that there is a deeper connection. Elena finally reveals a mystery to Joshua which makes him believe in reincarnation and fate. A destined romance, they begin to feel like they have known each other for long. I really enjoyed this book.
