Tour: Crush Control by Jennifer Jabaley

Publisher: Razorbill

Source: ARC Tour

Rating: 3.5 stars

So this book was a really fun read. I loved the characters, and while I didn't agree with some of the choices  characters made, it was a fast read that I read in one sitting.

The plot was fun - I loved the idea of hypnosis. I wasn't crazy about some of the applications, but I loved how it centered at basis of every plot point of the book. Being a topic I didn't know much about, I loved the little facts about it I learned as Willow went through her excursions.

Willow was a character whose decisions had me on edge - I didn't understand why you would choose to do such a thing, so therefore that part of the book I wasn't as crazy about. I loved Mia - she was a character I really liked getting to know. Georgia was a riot - she was just too fun. Max was just awesome.

The ending was so sweet and I absolutely adored it. This was another fun read by Jennifer Jabaley. I would suggest it for a summer day where you just want to sit back and read a fun story.

Cover Rating: B -  I love the similarity between Crush Control and Lipstick Apology with the face in the sky and the city along the bottom.

Now you have me curious. I'm wondering what kind of choice/decisions the characters made. I think I'll have to look up some more info on this book.

You made me really curious on what these choices are that they characters made. I am fasinated by hypnosis (we had a demonstration at school once) so I am interested in reading this novel.

I was barely able to even finish this one. The characters' choices really got to me. It also annoied me to no end that Willow fancied herself in love with Max when they hadn't spent any face-to-face time together since they were little. I'm glad that you enjoyed it though.

Hmm this contemporary? well I think I might add this one on my TBR list :) short but meaningful review... not really much fan of the cover tho. I as I think it implies the hypnosis thing which you said.

I was asking myself what if I have the power to control my crush, wonder what will happen lol haven't heard of this one but giving this 3.5 rating makes me not want to read this one.
