I love Jen Calonita because her books are simple and sweet and have simple and straight to the point messages. Her books usually go back to friendship, family, love, honesty, trust, and all of that. Its great. I enjoy her books because they are sweet and enjoyable and they are the kind of books that I really liked in junior high and high school...and Jen Calonita has a talent for spinning a nice little YA novel.

I'm so glad I finally finished this series! It was definitely a chore to get through all three books! The two points of view were great to break up the story but I found Izzie's chapters a but boring! Mira's were much more interesting! Also side note: could the author not come up with different names? Like the word play for Isabelle and Mirabelle I get but Hayden and Brayden? Zoe and Chloe?

I found the first two books in this series to be fun (if a bit superficial) reads. This final book was just annoying. The characters seemed much shallower and more one-dimensional in this book and I just couldn't get myself to care about the plot.

I am not one to bash a book, but I was really disappointed with this book. The first two were great and I loved reading them. They had the whole Gossip girl meets Southern Belle meets debutant, and I had high hopes for this book as well. Sadly, I didn't get what I was hoping for. In the first book, you head Izzie trying to navigate high society, while dealing with mean girls, wanting her old life back, and trying to fit in while Mira was learning how to be a sister and stand up for herself. The second book was just the same, only with debutants.

This book. Totally missed that mark. It was too busy. Not only did you have the girls sweet 16, but also the Founders day events and it was just too much to fit into one book. I wanted more about the parties and the drama but I felt everything was rushed to the end. It was also a lot shorter than the other.

Overall I really liked this series. It was a good lighthearted read, nothing to serious I don't think. And although I guessed the twist in each of the three books, they were still enjoyable. Majority of the time if a book is predictable I don't enjoy it. Again the narrator is amazing!

I'd give in five stars but it just wasn't as good as the first book!

I REALLY miss the old Brayden. (You know, the one from the first book?)
He was a guy I would go out with any day.
This Brayden = not so much.

Man, I'm dissapointed that Zoe didn't get told off like she deserved to be.
