I loved this book! The full review will be posted soon at kaitgoodwin.com/books! Thank you very much for this wonderful opportunity to connect books to their readers!

Definitely had a few issues with this one. Felt like it was pretty unoriginal and bland, and I also couldn't really connect with any of the characters.

DNF

Unfortunately, even though I thought I'd love this series, I couldn't get through the first book. Her thoughts at 13 were VERY adult. And I just didn't care about the story when multiple guys were introduced.

These books are entertaining and I read through them really quickly because I wanted to see what would happen. The series ended in a satisfying way. I think these would be easy to sell to teens and I would recommend them.

Not only did I love this series just because my name is Pepper lol but this was such a fun adventure! This will be one I'll keep to read again later!

For me this series was a little lacking, I love the writing style but it really failed to draw me in and by the end of the first book I couldn't work up the excitement to continue on with the others, which made me sad as it really has the potential to be a popular series!

Sadly for me this series wasn't for me, is like the more I read the less I like it.
Everyone has different genre they like, Some like the whole friendship turns into more, some don't. Well I don't like it, is like the leads are too consume already in the friendship, their lives revolve too much around each other. You don't see their love grow is already there when the viewers read. In this case Pepper was too consumed into Jace.

Well let me write a few things about what I like and disliked in this series.

In book one Pepper was a Role Model to follow. She was a runner, She lived to run. She had goals and achieve so many goals because of her constant hard work. She always push herself to be better, too run that extra mile. At the beginning she had no desire to party or to date. She wanted all her time and attention to be better at runner. Than she meet Ryan, which didn't change her goals at all but on the contrary she was reaching for more. Ryan helped her with reaching her goals and pushed her boundaries. But when Pepper saw the first chance to get with Jace he dropped poor Ryan like a hot potato. I found that Ryan was a better match for Pepper. I feel that Pepper getting with Jace only brought her down.

After pepper got together with Jace her Role Model status when down, and that is one of the least thing I like about this book. She didn't want to grow or push more to be a better runner. She used as an excuse she felt tired when she never did before dating Jace. Jace brought so much drama in her life, Yes he was a sweet boyfriend to her but at time controlling and his ex hook ups would appeared bringing more drama to Peppers life. Which was the sole purpose of her not wanting to reach more of her goals, she wouldn't think straight when practicing. Her coach wanted to her to be in more races she didn't want to. Well thinks just went down hill when they got together. and I think that is the reason I only loved the first book because Pepper seem stronger.

Things I like Ryan, Bunny, Her friends Oh and Wes (which at some point I thought he was going to get the lead girl before Jace got his hands on her, wouldn't that be amazing a different ending) Mostly all the second leads during all this series. The leads weren't on my like list.

The writing style was pretty great but I just didn't like where the story went. I know that the author is capable of write about great characters because I got to read about Ryan and Bunny and her groups of friend even fall for Wes. I guess I just didn't like the decisions Jace and Pepper took.

Also reviewed on Goodreads.
There's some stuff within this series that I enjoyed:the running, grandma and some of the attempts to explore how it feels to deal with shifting relationships. Sadly Pepper's constant self-put downs got irritating, and she let Jace walk all over her. A lot of the plot details were poorly linked, and the whole situation with by book 5 had become farcical. I'm sure it'll have its fans; but I'm not sure who this will really appeal to.
