Romancing Hollywood Nobody by Lisa Samson.

Scotty and Charley find romance in the Highlands when a couple of cute guys in kilts look their way. How will Seth and Jeremy react when they realize the ladies who were interested in them have captured the hearts of a young bagpiper and a Scottish actor? Meanwhile, as Scotty and her dad look for answers to their questions about faith, they also look for Scotty's mom. The search takes them deep into mob territory, where someone will go to any length to keep the past a secret.Will Scotty lose everything that's become important to her? from Goodreads.

As much as I hate to say it, this book was only ok. I feel like Scotty's changed a lot, and I really dislike her relationship with Seth. It's not her place to tell him what to do, and she seemed overly harsh with him.

Her relationship with Angus was a little bit weird as well. It moved way to fast for me. Even though she kept saying that she still had feeling for Seth, her relationship with Angus didn't reflect that. I love that her family is settling down more and becoming a true family.

Fingers crossed that they'll find her mother in the next book!

the Truth About Dating, Love, & Just Being Friends by Chad Eastham.

This book: full of truth about dating and whatnot from a guy who's dated. I really don't have much to say about this book, except it made me laugh, and laugh loudly. It was well researched, well written, and really enjoyable to read.

It was easy and light, not something that required a lot of thought to process. I finished it very quickly, and considered picking it up to start again.

What stood out most is the way it's written. It sounds like a conversation between a youth pastor and a student, between an older brother and a younger sister.

I sat there reading it laughing to myself; Chad Eastham has the funny thing down.

Loved this book!

A Heart Most Worthy by Siri Mitchell.

A Heart Most Worthy by Siri Mitchell chronicles the stories of three young Italian immigrants: Julietta, who wishes more than anything to be American; Annamaria, who falls in love on the other side of the road; and Luciana, trying to flee her past. The three young women meet in Madame Fortier's dress shop, where they spend their days creating works of art for the wealthy upper class women who patronize Madame Fortier's shop. They look for love in unexpected places, finding it in ways they never imagined.

I know. Cheesy, right? It wasn't as bad as I expected, although the title lived up to the book's Christian-fictionyness.

This book wasn't great. It was ok, and it got me through a long Sunday afternoon. Besides that, it wasn't terribly exciting. I think it was a little predicable how everything ended up all perfect and all. Besides that, the book was enjoyable.

Favorite character: Annamarie, most definitely. I loved how she stepped out.

Finding Hollywood Nobody by Lisa Samson.

In this sequel to Hollywood Nobody, Scotty finds the truth about herself, her grandmother, and her past. New issues of faith and friendship arise as she struggles not only with the normal parts of growing up, but with the realization that her past as she's known it wasn't true.

I loved this sequel to Hollywood Nobody. It seems like Scotty's matured, and it's interesting to see less of the blog and more of her actual story. Her interactions with Seth disappointed me; I kept expecting him to finally get it right.

Over all, I really enjoyed Finding Hollywood Nobody. It was a quick read, but the religion aspect of it felt less much forced than it did in Hollywood Nobody.

Note: I was given this book free of charge in exchange for a review. It didn't have to be positive, just honest.
