review 1: I think The Undergrad Years series, and Ms. Aster's Manhattanites series, are the kind that people either like or don't. I fall into the 'like' category. And here's why...years ago, when my kids were younger, a group of friends and I would go away on scrapbooking weekends. On these weekends, one of us would bring DVDs of Sex in the City, and we'd have SitC marathons while we scrapbooked. This is where I was introduced to this completely foreign and outrageously outlandish lifestyle. The Undergrad Years and The Manhattanites series read like episodes of Sex in the City. They are salacious, outlandish, and fun. Are they fine literary works? No. But entertaining? Definitely.Yours Truly, Taddy was quite an adventure. Taddy learned a few things about herself. And, as always, we... more got to see how tight the bonds between this foursome, Taddy, Lex, Vive, and Blake, are.Having read Unscrupulous, I had a familiarity with Taddy's life. I really enjoyed this view into the moment in time where Taddy finally gave herself permission to embrace who she was and earn the money she'd eventually use for her future.Taddy is the definition of a survivor. While she and her friends have all endured things no kid should, Taddy had it hardest, in my opinion. Having your parents do what Taddy's did...well, it takes a strong person to survive that. But Taddy figured out what she needed to do and did it. In Yours Truly, Taddy, she faces another situation where she has to dig deep to determine her mettle. Are the circumstances a bit far-fetched? Yep. But for me, this is a rollicking good time.Obviously, I have an affinity for Taddy. And I'm relishing these glimpses of this foursome prior to their adult lives. I love getting these peeks at events that shaped the adults they became. Ms. Aster knows how to spin a good story. Taddy's has a more mature feel to it but it's just as entertaining. I'm anxious for the next installment, which is Blake's story.*I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.*
review 2: I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.This second book in the Undergrad Years Series also has a title for each chapter, which will be good for the reader if they are looking for the perfect stopping point. And just like the first book, this is told in the first person and it feels as if Taddy is talking directly to the reader. Tabitha Adelaide “Taddy Brill” Brillford is on her way to a modeling job and her friends are there with her. This author has a very creative mind that you will understand when Taddy goes on assignment. She also has an interesting title to one of the chapters that if you are of a certain age you will recognize the reference. Avery created a character that just doesn’t seem to be able to cut a break – and how many of us at times feel the same way. But she makes the reader laugh at her trials and tribulations. Leon Lartigue was there when Taddy needed someone the most. This book is an island fantasy come to life and it includes French men. If you like to set the mood for when you read, why not sit with a nice tropical drink. And since summer is upon us, why not sit at a beach looking out over the water. It’s a great way to destress. One thing I loved about this book was the ending. Our author left it so that you have no choice but to read the follow up to this book. So if you haven’t read the Manhattanites Series, you will want to read Unscrupulous – can’t wait.#Undergrad Years, #New Adult less
