Hana isn’t supposed to exist. She’s grown up hidden by her mother in a secret room of the bioship Cyclo until the day her mother is simply gone. Along with the entire crew. Cyclo tells her she was abandoned, but she’s certain her mother wouldn't leave her there to die. And Hana isn’t ready to die yet—she’s never really gotten to live.

Fenn is supposed to die. He and a crew of hired mercenaries are there to monitor Cyclo as she expires, and the payment for the suicide mission will mean Fenn's sister is able to live. But when he meets Hana, he’s not sure how to save them both.

Because Hana knows the ship’s secret—and Hana and Fenn falling for each other may be what ultimately kills them.

Hello, you all! Today is blog tour day ~ And I bring you a very fun and cute novel I recently read by Entangled Teen, Crush imprint. This is my first time reading this author/series, because I believe this is the third one in the series, but it didn't affect my reading and actually made me a bit curious about the previous couples.

Title: The Perfectly Imperfect Match

Series: Suttonville Sentinels #3

Author: Kendra C. Highley

Publisher: Entangled Teen Crush

Release date: July 10th, 2017

Synopsis:

Pitcher Dylan Dennings has his future all mapped out: make the minors straight out of high school, work his way up the farm system, and get called up to the majors by the time he’s twenty-three. The Plan has been his sole focus for years, and if making his dreams come true means instituting a strict “no girls” policy, so be it.
Lucy Foster, needlepoint ninja, big sister to an aspiring pitcher, and chicken advocate, likes a little mayhem. So what if she gets lost taking her brother to baseball camp…at her own high school? The pitching coach, some hotshot high school player, obviously thinks she’s a hot mess. Too bad he’s cute, because he’s so not her type.
Problem is, they keep running into each other, and every interaction sparks hotter than the last. But with Dylan’s future on the line, he has to decide whether some rules are made to be broken…
Disclaimer: This book contains a crazy night of moonlit skinny-dipping, a combustible crush, and kisses swoony enough to unwind even the most Type A athlete.

If you want an opposites attract, The Perfectly Imperfect Match is just for you.

I had such a good time reading this book seriously. It's so fun and light and a perfect read for summer! It actually develops in the summer, more specific, in baseball summer camp, because Lucy's little brother is going to camp and she meets Dylan there. He is coaching the little kids and actually has this big Plan for his future because he loves baseball and wants to have a career in the game.

However they meet each other and everything goes out the window.

It was adorable and I love the fact that Dylan was clearly Shook by Lucy lmao. All the little things Lucy did, Dylan was like "omg this girl is my wife" plus they have so many cute moments, with family and friends. I love that their friends are SUCH A BIG PART of their lives. Because sometimes in books when the love interest is announced somehow the MCs forget for a moment they have best friends. But this is why I loved this book because Tristan and Serena are there always supporting their friends and being just so caring for one another. Many points for that! (plus the chickens!)

I love the dynamics since the start because Dylan is very hot and cold towards Lucy because he thinks he is going to get distracted by anything, especially by Lucy. So he wants to have his head on the game. But there are fireworks when these two are together and actually they had this adorable fight in the beginning where they are left alone at sea and just exploded *lmao* I had so many feel you all.

I'm really glad I picked this up! Thank you Entangled Teen for the review copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Hello, voyagers! I bring you today a special post for me. If you don't know, I'm Mexican, I live in Mexico. I love to see Latinxs in books, especially Mexicans. I try to find books that have POC as MCs instead of the same old same old white characters you see everywhere. And when I find Latinxs, I pray it's good and that it doesn't have stereotypes, because sometimes the author isn't Latinx and I'm a bit worried the rep would be bad. Sometimes it comes out okay but sometimes it doesn't.

This is going to be a list of books that, in my opinion, have a good rep (I may have not read it but I know it has good rep) and are fun, addicting, and filled with love. I hope you guys enjoy!

Title: The Flip Side

Author: Shawn Johnson

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

Release date: June 7th, 2016

Pages: 320

Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble

From gold medalist and reality TV star Shawn Johnson comes a debut YA novel inspired by her own experiences as an elite teenage gymnast—just in time for the Summer 2016 Olympic games.

Charlie Ryland has a secret.

She may seem like your average high school sophomore—but she’s just really good at pretending.

Because outside of school Charlie spends all her waking hours training to become one of the best gymnasts in the world. And it’s not easy flying under the radar when you’re aiming for Olympic gold…especially when an irresistible guy comes along and threatens to throw your whole world off balance.

Inspired by her own experiences as a fifteen-year-old Olympic gymnast, gold medalist Shawn Johnson writes a delightfully entertaining novel about chasing big dreams and falling in love, all while trying to keep it real.

The Flip Side is a great book to choose for the summer. It's light, adorable and because this year we have Olympics, it's a perfect read before the event starts.

I'm always expecting the gymnasts section of the Olympics every four years. It's one of my favorite sports to watch and it's so fun. Plus all these girls have trained hours and hours to get to this point (I know all the sports too!) but I'm captivated by the dancing + the gymnastics itself. If you're into that, Shawn Johnson writes a fun book about the life of one girl who keeps her gymantic life aside from her "normal and high-school" life. It was rather fun to read about Charlie and her friends and how her love for this sport is so real and her goals are something she wants to achieve really bad.

It also has a cute ship that I was rooting for since the first meeting and the guy is so adorable, you won't be able to stop swooning for him. The friendships in this book are so special. And it tells you how friends are always there for each other - the real kind of friends. Even if you are training for the Olympics, if your best friend needs something, you will do anything possible.

The family dynamics is *two thumbs up* I'm happy whenever I see great family dynamics in YA. I love Charlie's brother and her parents were super nice to meet and they were enjoyable to read when they were in scenes with Charlie.

The writing isn't the best to be quite honest. It could be better! Some development also were like *rolling eyes emoji* type. But that's about it. I mean if you don't expect like a super beautiful writing, amazing characters, star-crossed lovers romance, The Flip Side is a fun, easy and cute book that will make you pass your time laughing and smiling.

At 24 years old, American gymnast Shawn Johnson has accomplished a lifetime of achievements that include Olympic Medals, a New York Times best-selling book, a business, a career in broadcast, and took home the coveted mirror ball trophy on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.Hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide watched as a 16 year old Johnson won four medals including gold on the balance beam at the 2008 Summer Olympics, which took place in Beijing, China.
