City Love audiobook

Looks like Susane is trying her hand at a book series. I just hope it's better then the All I Need book, which I didn't care for, but since I liked all of her other books I'll give this a try. It'll be great to read a series that's not paranormal, fantasy or dystopian! It'll be good to read a realistic teen series since even the ones that weren't paranormal, fantasy or dystopian like, were always about pretty rich shallow kids with shallow problems. Hopefully the teen characters will have more problems then rather they want to be with Billy or Bobby or if their daddy is going to give them a car for their birthday or whatever!

City Love by Susane Colasanti is the start of a cute, contemporary trilogy set in New York City about three college bound girls on the cusp of love. Read my full review here Link goes live 9/15/2017

This review is also posted on my blog “City love is the kind of love that never dies. No matter how many boyfriends come and go, no matter how many heartbreaks I endure, this city will always be my true love.” First, I would like to thank HarperCollins for providing me with a review copy. It has not, in any way, influenced my thoughts about this book. Growing up, I used to be amazed by city lights and towering skyscrapers and the fast-paced life of a big city. New York City was definitely on my list of places to visit when I was younger but as I grew older, I didn’t dream of going there anymore. Instead, I wanted to go to Europe. North America sounded cliché already. But reading City Love made me fall in love with this lively city all over again and it inspired wanderlust within me. Reading Sadie, Rosanna and Darcy’s adventure of finding love and building new friendships in New York has been a fun experience. Chapter after chapter, I was enthralled and captivated by these three young girls as they try to take on the new chapter of their life—college—in a big city. I fell in love as they did, got confused as they did and got heartbroken as they did. For this, I can say that City Love is a light read, perfect for a lazy summer day. Sadie: oh, she was a fun character to read. Among the three, Sadie is the optimist. Upon reading her point of view in the first chapter, I immediately felt light, like I was floating in the clouds where no bad thing can reach me. Seriously, everything’s just lovely in her world. She’s the one I was most happy about when she found a guy to love. But, sadly, her optimism is blind. Rosanna: I was not particularly feeling anything about her except pity and a little annoyance. She said she’s not a pessimist, she’s a realist. Well, Rosanna isn’t that well off, so she’s kind of bitter about people who have lots of money. But her time in New York will prove that when love finds you, it doesn’t matter if he’s dressed in an Armani suit or rocking a tee from Salvation Army. Darcy: she’s the wild spirited one in their group. The one who carpes the freaking diem. She just wants to enjoy the summer, be with different guys and prove to herself that one boy can’t dictate how she’ll live the rest of her life. I was annoyed at her at first because she’s acting bitchy but as the story progressed, I understood where she’s coming from. To be honest, when I saw that there were only 3 chapters left in the story, one chapter for each of the girls, I felt disappointed because nothing major has happened yet. They just all gravitated towards love without any problems that would need resolution. I was like, Oh, no. It will be a HEA but one without anything explosive before that happy ending. But boy was I wrong. The problem I was looking for? It all happened in each of their last chapters. And it ended in a cliffhanger. That was the thing that saved this book, for me. THERE WILL BE A 2ND BOOK! I’m so excited and I’m so happy with the way it ended I just wanna make grabby motions with my hands for the next book. Overall, though it wasn’t perfect, this was still a book I enjoyed a lot. It showcases the thrill of waiting for love to come knocking at your door, finding new friends and living in a city for dreamers just waiting for your own dreams to come true.

Who are we kidding, NYC is magical. There are hundreds of things to do and beautiful strangers at every corner (I blame Sex and the City for the brainwash). It's no wonder that Colansanti chose this location to set her latest romance series. As we follow the dating life of three roommates, Sadie (the hopeful one), Darcy (the heartbroken one), and Rosanna (poor, very poor) in a lapse of ten days, we discover how goose-bumpy and dreamlike love can be. Since it is a novel that takes place in ten days, and regardless of the fun use of location, I found the story not very credible. Sadie wants to take things slow yet manages to seduce Austin in staying at her place for a whole weekend, but no SEX. Hence why she unzips his pants?!?Then we have Darcy who doesn't want to get attached to any guy, yet she falls for someone in ten days?!?The more I tried following the story as a possible reality, the more lost I was. It's best to just read it for fun and enjoy the scenery.

Review to come!

3 books in this series, loved this audio listen. insta-love kind of book! YA read. romance. so sweet .. not my normal genre ...but i rather did enjoy it so much! look forward to more from this author soon enough! well written, great writing style. fun times!

My thought on this book was that its amazing! So amazing that I had to buy the second book right after I finished the first one. Some things I really enjoy about this book are how each of the girls Sadie, Darcy, and Rosanna are different from one another, but they get along with one another and each of them are living different story. Another thing I enjoyed was how Sadie and the guy shes in love with have such a good chemistry but then theres a plot twist. One thing I don't like is how the book ends, you have to read the next book to know whats going on. But if you like love stories or girly books id definitely recommend this book.

*WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS*My personal response to is: This is an amazing romance and very funny and it can be sometimes relatable. It has a lot of different plot twists and in the end leaves you off on an amazingly horrible cliff-hanger. It is really up to date on the way teens and young adults are today.A short summary about this book is: There are three main characters in this book and the chapters switch from person to person. Sadie a nineteen year old who was born and raised in New York. Darcy another nineteen year old why was born in California and went to live in New York to have an adventure. Finally Rosanna a nineteen year old as well who was born into a poor family and wanted to show her family that she can live in New York and make a living in a place where everything is extremely expensive. They all are in New York for college and have summer internships or classes. Sadie is a hopeless romantic that believes that her soulmate could be just around the corner. Darcy is a young woman who doesn't want a committed relationship. Rosanna has had bad experiences with men and is very cautious in who she chooses. Can they all find love?Who do I recommend this book to?: I recommend this book to people that like reading romances and like a little bit of cliff hangers. People who also like reading books that are Fiction but they could happen in real life. Finally I recommend this to teens because everybody in this book talks like teenagers which makes it easier to understand.

I enjoyed this book a lot. I can't wait to read the next one! (view spoiler)[ Sadie, Rosanna, and Darcy all move to New York for college. They do not know each other before rooming together. This is about the summer before college. Each of the girls come across a guy that they are attracted to. Sadie finds Austin at her internship. However, she finds out later something that she doesn't like about him. Rosanna finds D at a party. She tries to stay away from him, but he is all she can think about. He also has a bunch of money compared to her. Darcy finds Jude at a park. He is a performer, but Darcy has sworn off boys. Or has she? (hide spoiler)]

DON'T YOU HATE WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW ITS GOING TO BE A SERIES/TRILOGY UNTIL YOU'VE FINISHED THE BOOK.Anyways. Rage over. I really did enjoy this book, I loved all three of the girls' perspectives but let me just say those cliffhangers are killer and since this is a more recent release, I have to wait entirely too long for a sequel
