I don't really have any feelings either way about this one unfortunately. It was ok, though I didnt particularly like the main character, I didn't feel that she particularly likeable. I did feel for the character and there were some funny parts. The book is very easy to pick up and put down as the chapters are relatively short, and it isn't too long.

I was provided with a copy of STAGS by the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
What can I say about STAGS? This story of privilege is absolutely gripping and immersive and dark and clever, much like the mysterious Medieval's themselves. The story is told in the first person, from Greer, a new entrant to the STAGS school, who came from nothing, unlike the majority of the school's pupils.
Friendless and lonely, Greer jumps at the chance to attend the swoon worthy Henry's country home for a long weekend of huntin', shootin' and fishin', during a school holiday. Even Greer mentions that it's a bit weird how she is invited, considering how no one talks to her...
Along with the quiet Shafeen, and new money Chanel, we follow Greer's weekend with the Medieval's - where the claws come out and we see what a weekend of privilege from this group of teens has in store.
The story itself was fantastic. It flowed really well, the story didn't lag and was descriptive without going over the top. I really liked Greer and how it was in her nature to be nosy. The culmination of the story was really suspenseful and very well thought out - fantastic read, can't wait to read the sequel now.

I absolutely loved Rewrite the stars, I read it in 3 sittings, 40% in one go then the rest was split between a return train journey and it was the perfect companion for my journey.
I really liked Charlotte/Char/Charlie - she was a really likeable character and I enjoyed seeing her thought processes. I was itching for her to be with Tom Farley / find Tom Farley even up to about 40% and then reading about her life with Jack, it was a bit of an eye opener as you could tell that she was in turmoil.
At times I wanted to knock her on the head, but I felt that the way that the book was written was eally well done and I loved all of the what if scenarios.
If you haven't, I'd definitely recommend listening to the song - 'You' by Gareth Dunlop which was written especially for the book; how cool is that?
Lovely book - thanks to Harper Fiction for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

D.O.G.S. picks up a year on from the events at the end of S.T.A.G.S, and Greer appears to be suffering from the anniversary effect and can't stop thinking about the events which transpired at Longwood the year before. Now in her final year at S.T.A.G.S, Greer needs to knuckle down and work on getting into university.
Don't worry though, how about we toss in a project that makes up the majority of her grade for drama. Since Greer hates Shakespeare, isn't it fortunate that someone seems to be mysteriously delivering her parts of a banned, salacious and long since forgotten play, act by darker act.
D.O.G.S. is atmospheric, it's dark and mysterious and thrilling and I really, really enjoyed it. The only problem is that I now have to wait for book 3!

Took a while to get going, but when it did, it totally sucked me in. Can't wait to read the sequel.
