Bookishly Ever After
Bookishly Ever After | Isabel Bandeira
In a perfect world, sixteen-year-old Phoebe Martins' life would be a book. Preferably one filled with magic and a hot paranormal love interest. Unfortunately, her life probably wouldn't even qualify for a quiet contemporary. Everything changes when Phoebe learns that Dev, the hottest guy in the clarinet section, might actually have a crush on her. So, Phoebe turns to the heroines in her favorite books for advice on a personality overhaul. Becoming as awesome as her book characters isn't as easy as it sounds and when another girl nets Dev for herself right from under Phoebe's nose, she's crushed. Then, to up the suckage, she gets assigned as his co-counselor at a sixth grade camp and has to spend an entire week tied to the hip with the one guy on the planet she wanted to avoid. Can she make it through the potential danger of romantic bonfires and nature walks without Dev figuring out she's still not over him, or will her counseling career end in emotional disaster? Can she ever go back to her happy world of fictional boys after falling for the real thing?

Lost interest towards the middle of the book. Cute idea but took a long time to really get anything moving. I do appreciate that Phoebe wouldn‘t change overnight, but it was a bit slow for me at this point. I was enjoying it and then COVID hit and it just kinda got pushed aside. Not a completely fair review. Will have to maybe try it again.

tracey38 It happens! I agree it's ok to bail and move on to another one. 4y
katy4peas It‘s been sitting on my table and I haven‘t touched it for 4 months, which means I probably won‘t finish it. I‘ll have to restart it at some point if I want to read it all the way. Oh well. Thanks for the affirmation that it‘s okay to bail! 🤷🏼‍♀️ @tracey38 (edited) 4y
tracey38 @katy4peas there are too many good books out there to continue reading one that isn't holding your interest! 4y

Prairiegirl_reading Your crochet looks lovely! 5y
Lauredhel @Prairiegirl_reading thanks! It‘s a really simple tall smooshy cowl, zigzag in the round. It‘s the yarn that makes it special - Malabrigo Sock yarn left over from a cardigan I just finished. 5y

Here are my pink books! @robinb #ISpy

Do you have books with something shiny on the cover? @BookLover_25 @A_bookworms_nook @a_bit_bookish

BookishMe Oh my! That Gail Carriger book! 😍! 😍! So so PRETTY 5y
robinb Beautiful! 💕 Thanks for playing! 5y
katy4peas @BookishMe it is called Fan Service: collected supernatural society books with special hedgehog incident. The dark pink parts are all shiny metallic. My photo cut off part of the book and I didn‘t realize until now that the title was cut off. It was in my original photo and got chopped off when I put the picture in my post... oh well! 5y
BookishMe @katy4peas interesting! I thought the silhouette could be of Prudence ;)) I have seen Carriger make reference to the hedgehog but didn't realise they were one of her series! Sounds like a special book indeed 5y

I've got my #booktoteswap nearly ready to send. I live in Canada, but I'm going on a road trip. So I'm going 11 hours south along the east coast, then I'm going to mail it slightly north from there. What fun!

Kaylamburson Love that! You should take a picture of the box in all the locations you stop at! 😂🤣 7y

I‘m not a big fan of (cheesy) contemporary romance in the first place and Bookishly Ever After makes it definitely VERY easy to overdose on the high school cliches and romance tropes incorporated into the story. I‘ve tried really hard to see beyond the cliches, but found myself too frustrated to be able to continue and finish the story. Sadly a DNF at 32%. 😕

brutalbookworm I actually really enjoyed this one. I'm currently reading the second one! I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it :( 7y
yvo_about_books @brutalbookworm I guess we can't like them all... It makes me happy to hear you are enjoying the series though! 😊 7y

To be honest I'm really struggling to continue this story... Bookishly Ever After is stuffed with high school cliches, annoying characters and I can't seem to connect to the writing style. I was craving chocolate so I decided to bake banana-choco-bread to distract myself haha. It's in the oven right now and smells divine! 🍌🍫😍

I'll be needing something completely different after finishing Stillhouse Lake to avoid a book hangover, so Bookishly Ever After it is! Another granted Netgalley wish, although I don't remember ever wishing for it in the first place since it's not my favorite genre. 😆

Im the type of person who gets second hand embarrassment and there was a lot of that for me while reading this book.

Poor, Poor Phoebe is painfully awkward and prefers her books and her book boyfriends over real life. For as many cringe worthy moments pie Phoebe had there were a lot of sweet and adorably cute moments.

Very adorable read with great characters and you can't go wrong with a Heroine being a book nerd.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I felt this was a well written story. It is a page turner.

They say boys in books are just better. I have to disagree having a real relationship is always better even though they can sometimes get messy.

I absolutely loved this book. I totally could relate to Phoebe because I am also a book nerd.

I would recommend this book.

I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Happy Reading Everyone!

(3 stars) Three Thoughts 1) a quick read and well written but was missing...something 2) found the book excerpts pointless and so skipped them 3) no heart achy feels here and wished for more when it came to phoebe and dev
