Popular books that lived up to the hype!

I know there are a LOT of readers out there, who are leery of hyped books, because they sometimes are fail to deliver on the stellar reading experience we were promised. The follow are a list of books, which I kept seeing EVERYbody raving about, and when I finally read them, I joined in the chorus of adoration. Each of these earned a 5-star rating and a place in my heart.

Seventeen-year-old Claire Collins has a plan: get into college and leave North Carolina behind. What she doesn’t have is an idea for how to get rid of the local football star and womanizer extraordinaire—Adam Meade, who she can’t even avoid (despite many efforts), because Claire’s dad is the high school football coach.

Seventeen-year-old Adam Meade never fails. He always gets what he wants… until he meets Claire, the new girl who leaves him unnerved, pissed off, and confused. But there’s something about her that he just can’t resist…

With the bite of lemon meringue pie and the sugar of sweet tea, Surviving Adam Meade is a sexy and compelling young adult novel about two strong-willed people who think they know what they want but have no idea what they need.
