ramblings of the perpetual new girl

SYNOPSIS: Ann Brashares, beloved author of the bestselling The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, which has sold over 8.7 million copies in all formats, is back with another unforgettable story about fractured families, first love, and loss in her latest novel,   THE WHOLE THING TOGETHER , which carries a first printing of 100,000 copies. Readers will feel the sand between their toes and smell the salty air of Brashares’s Long Island beach town setting, which serves as the backdrop for Sasha and Ray’s unusual and budding relationship. Summer for Sasha and Ray means the sprawling old house on Long Island. Since they were children, they’ve shared almost everything—reading the same books, running down the same sandy footpaths to the beach, eating peaches from the same market, laughing around the same sun-soaked dining table. Even sleeping in the same bed, on the very same worn cotton sheets. But they’ve never met. Sasha’s dad was once married to Ray’s mom, ...

Ramblings of the Perpetual New Girl sort of started haphazardly since well... as the Mother of a Perpetual New Girl and who blogged for a variety of places already and really could not commit to yet another place needing reviews; it seemed a futile task to have my own blog without help. However, the Oldest of my children wanted a place where she could dictate to me her strongly felt views on certain books. So here I am... doing just that! Right now... she wants me to talk about this book! And because the Oldest wandered into a project of epic proportions! She created fanart for Lindsay Currie's - a favorite of ours if you had not noticed - latest novel, THE PECULIAR INCIDENT ON SHADY STREET. This new middle grade mystery-ghost story comes out this October, just in time for Halloween. And with every pre-order , you can now own a slice of Perpetual New Girl -- Gabrielle's artwork. Not only is Currie offering the artsy pre-order pack, one lucky winner gets a whole l...

If you don’t remember the first stories of the  Heavy Influence  series, the scoop on all the books and where you can find them is HERE . The worry I believe most readers right now seem to be having is will we get that happy ending?! Life doesn't come with cut and dry answers, so why should romance? Because that's what readers are seeking out from such stories. Frohoff might be a big fan of open-ended; however, she has promised that the Heavy Influence series will end in a way that readers can walk away ... Happy! I like the quote that love is not always enough… however, there are many people who believe love conquers all. Spoilers possibly but which do you think Jake and Aly are headed towards — heartbreak or a happy ending?  Haha…hmmmm. I’m not a happy ending kind of person. I love stories that leave things open ended and force you to conclude for yourself. I know most people hate that…so I’m not going to do that to my readers. It’s going to be a happy ending,...
