The Queen B* and the Homecoming King by Crista McHugh
4.0
Actual rating: 4.1
My thoughts: It was better than I’d expected. After reading the second book, I guess I didn’t have too high expectations, so I was happily surprised. It wasn’t as good as the first book, but it was close.
Alexis goes through some major character development throughout this series, and especially this book. At first, she seems pretty hesitant about officially dating Brett, she sets up a bunch of rules about their relationship, like no PDA. She refuses to hang out with him if he’s with his friends.
But throughout the book, she changes a lot. She’s not the same person at the end of this book as she was in the beginning of the series, and you know how much I love character development. It was also interesting to read about her change. It didn’t happen overnight, but it happened throughout three books. It took time, and that’s part of why I loved it so much. Character development can be great, if used correctly. If it happens overnight, it’s not believable, because no one can go through such a change in a day, or even a few days. It takes time.
The plot was a little slow at the beginning, but when things started happening, it felt like everything happened at once, and it felt like it was a little too quick, like maybe the ending could’ve been a little later or something.
And there was a mystery again! Yay! Sure, it wasn’t as good as the one in Confessions of a Queen B*, and it was so predictable, but it was still nice after the boring plot in The Queen B* Strikes Back. This time, though, it’s Alexis’s friend, Richard, who is targeted because he’s gay, and Alexis has to find whoever is responsible and put it on her blog, The Eastline Spy.
To sum it up, it was a fun and interesting read, and, although a little quick, definitely worth reading.
