Book Review: Again, but Better by Christine Riccio

So, I'm wicked behind on my book reviews, but my life has been turned upside down in the last few months...sickness and so no so good diagnosis.  Eh...not so fun, but going to try to think positive and let's keep on review some books, because just one thing I didn't stop by was reading, lol.

Let's get to some reviews, first up:

Again, but Better by Christine Riccio

                                                     
From GoodReads:
Shane has been doing college all wrong. Pre-med, stellar grades, and happy parents…sounds ideal—but Shane's made zero friends, goes home every weekend, and romance…what’s that? 

Her life has been dorm, dining hall, class, repeat. Time's a ticking, and she needs a change—there's nothing like moving to a new country to really mix things up. Shane signs up for a semester abroad in London. She's going to right all her college mistakes: make friends, pursue boys, and find adventure! 

Easier said than done. She is soon faced with the complicated realities of living outside her bubble, and when self-doubt sneaks in, her new life starts to fall apart. 

Shane comes to find that, with the right amount of courage and determination one can conquer anything. Throw in some fate and a touch of magic—the possibilities are endless.

First of, if you watch BookTube then you definitely know who Christine Riccio is and you have probably picked this book because first you want to support her and second it sounds pretty damn amazing.  And yes, I also fall on those categories too.  So I picked the book up and I read it, my opinion?  I totally enjoyed this book.  Yeah, it took a turn that I was not expecting but I still enjoyed a lot, really, really enjoyed.  So, now let's talk about this book that enjoyed so much lol.

Shane has been the perfect daughter to her parents, they want her to go to med school and be the perfect student and she has been that perfect student and she is pre med because that's what they want and that's what she will do for them.  But, she is not happy, they may think she is but she is not.  She has no friends and romance?  That is so far off her radar that's no even funny, she hasn't even kissed a boy yet.

So, when the opportunity comes for her to sign up for a semester abroad in London, she just does it.  Her goal is to make friends, find a boy or two and find adventure.  But, things don't go always according to plan, specially when that plan started with some flaws at the beginning.  However with some courage and determination and faith Shane finds herself been able to do anything.  Even if things come by in a weird form.

Be prepared for some major twist, I wasn't expecting, but if you have an open mind and let's be honest this is fiction and anything is possible, right? Well, then be prepared for a crazy ride.  I loved the romance, loved the friendships that were created, loved the traveling to other different countries, family drama (who doesn't love that?).  Can't give too much away without spoilers but really cute contemporary with a total different twist.  Totally recommend.

4.5 out 5 stars.
