This is a quick to read YA story that is engaging and entertaining. Cecily was a great character to read about and I thought she was really relatable, despite being a YA character. I think the author has done a great job of portraying the angst and drama of a young adult. It is exactly like the feeling I remember when I was of that age.
The story itself was well written. It is an easy read and perfect for an afternoon of reading. I enjoyed the fact we could see more of this characters development. I hope we get to see more installations of her journey still.

Cecily in the City is the third book in the Cecily Taylor series by Krysten Lindsay Hager. This story follows Cecily as she continues to try and pursue her career as an actress and navigate her relationship with her famous boyfriend however this time, after a series of unexpected events, she finds herself navigating the complexity of show biz life in New York City. I really enjoyed this book however there were times when it made me so frustrated, I really wanted to knock the characters heads together, however this is a sign of good writing as it made me so emotional. Cecily is a lovable character however I am so pleased to see her growing as an adult. I found that I really wanted to know more when I got to the end of this book, especially the comeuppance of a certain character. I would recommend this to readers who are looking for a sweet young adult story with likable main characters and wonderful supporting ones. Looking forward to the next instalment.

The 3rd book in the series didn’t disappoint. First of all, this is a YA book. I have read the other books and I think it helps to have read them in order. The books are definitely written for a teen audience. They are sweet young romance stories full of misunderstandings, angst, hormones, worry, anxiety, and all those things young people go through.
The author as usual did a fantastic job of world building and writing in such a way that makes young people interested in reading more. Cecily thinks she’s living the dream but soon finds out that the world of show business can be vicious and ruthless. I was happy to see Cecily grow in this book and start to really find her strength. She needs to be strong in a field that can be very dangerous. Looking forward to the next installment of the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Cecily in the City. The author wrote a book that pulls at the heartstrings. About a girl’s rise to fame while losing everything she holds dear in her personal life. The growth of her character as a seventeen year old was written beautifully.
Cecily wanted to be an actress and would do everything to reach that goal. She started modeling, because she was told that was her step in the door. But she feared that her association with her popstar boyfriend Andrew would be what everyone thought of her. That she didn’t do any of the hardwork on her own. A snow storm in NYC was really what hot her foot in the door to her dreams. But it also lost her Andrew.
So what happens next?
How does Cecily navigate her new career without her rock, Andrew?
I would classify this book as YA, but as an adult I still enjoyed it. So don’t let YA scare you. Take a chance you might be surprised. I haven’t read the first two books, so I might just have to now. However it still works well as a standalone novel.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was like a modern day 90210/Gossip Girl. Cecily was a wonderful character, and there was a lot of growth for her in this book. She is excited for her new opportunity, and she is loving her life with her boyfriend and her volunteer work. As things take a turn, she starts to question a lot of things and a lot of choices. Fame and everything behind the scenes is nothing as she expected. This was a book I would definitely read again, and give to my teenage daughter to read.

This was my first read in the series and by this author. This read is definitely geared towards older middle school aged/high school aged readers. It’s written well, and tackles normal issues for that age group. I didn’t feel lost even though I didn’t read the first two books. This book can definitely be a standalone but reading the first two would probably give more background on the characters.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up by her. I enjoy her writing skills and her ability to pull me into her stories with ease. This book is no different. This is a young adult story about Cecily and how she believes she has it all. A new job, Andrew and working with charities but now the spotlight is on her and some are just waiting to watch her fall. What happens with Cecily you don’t want to miss. I enjoy her character and what she brings to the story. She is a strong character that has determination and just wants to be happy. There is great growth with her and the plot which made the story easy and entertaining to read. I found this story to be fast paced and hard to put down. It is a great story that I highly recommend.

Cecily in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager is a sweet YA romance that will delight YA readers. It is a quick read with teenage drama and angst, anxiety, jealousy and deep-seated insecurities and misunderstandings. As I said before Krysten is known for her YA romances and it is what she does best.
The story is well written and flows well that will keep her younger readers engaged.
Cecily has two passions than man she loves and acting. Unfortunately, she learns that it is a cutthroat business and the lies, the images and innuendos will either break you or make you. Trying to deal with the fame and dating someone famous maybe harder than she ever imagined. Once again jealousy and uncertainties make for a precarious relationship.
You shouldn’t believe everything you read in this business.
Mind games others play when they don’t get what they want are a dangerous road to traverse. There are characters that you can’t help but like and then there are those who you want to take down a peg or two.

I enjoyed the third book in this series, it was a quick easy read and had a good storyline. I still really like the character Cecily and think that she could be quite relatable for the young adult audience that is the target reader group for this book. The characters were really well written and I could really feel some of the anxieties that Cecily in particularly went through. I think having followed Cecily’s story through the first two books I really feel like I’ve been on this journey with her. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next for Cecily in book 4!

• Cecily in the City is the third book in The Cecily Taylor Series. This is a YA Contemporary Romance that will have you turning the pages trying to figure out what is going to happen next. This maybe directed more towards teen to young adults but in my opinion anyone of any age can enjoy this story. Tbis authors style of writing and her amazing characters make for a wonderful story. Her characters are well developed and very easily relatable. I felt like I could imagine every scene as if I were there. Cecily can’t imagine her life getting any better after she’s moved to the city and landed a dream position on a daytime soap opera. She’s very excited to be in the same town as her pop star boyfriend. Rumors get started shortly after she stars in another singers music video. Lots of drama behind the scenes. She just wants to be happy with Andrew. Soon she will find out life is much different in the spotlight.. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

I found this to be an interesting story of teen angst with a touch of mean girls. Cecily is just trying to achieve her dream. Right from the start, she’s dealing with drama. I found the story to be fairly relatable. You could feel her anxiety and trust issues. I found the characters to be well-written. You could feel the emotion, their personalities. I felt like it could have been happening right there around me. The plot was well-thought out. This is a good YA novel and a quick read.

Engaging teen read
This was an interesting YA read. The author covers many issues faced by a teen who is navigating tween-hood. I liked the voice of Landry, she was an easy character to relate to. There’s teenage angst, questions about what makes a good friend and family dynamics that all come into play. Recommend for tween and teens.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Remember, back in middle school, where the popular girl was the one who always had an interesting story or event to talk about?!? That’s who Landry wants to be. So, when she gets chosen to move forward in a modeling competition, she thinks this could be the start of that journey. But, her “best friends” alienate her and she doesn’t understand why. She tries making new friends, but it seems like everyone has their own group of friends and she isn’t quite sure where she fits in. Throw in some boy drama and you’ve got middle school in a book!

This was almost like reading the diary of almost any middle school girl. It was well written and dealt with the issues that teen girls everywhere face…friendships, jealousy, conforming to feel accepted, boys, and finding where you fit it. I was transported back in time as I read it. I loved Landry’s character. She went through quite a bit…and I believe she found herself along the way. I’m interested in seeing what happens in the next book.

This was a good 5 star read. I felt like I was reliving some of the things my teen daughter encountered when she was in school. The author does a great job with her writing and makes you feel like you are right there in the story feeling everything that Landry was. To go from being part of the group and having jealousy rear its ugly head causing her to be ostracized by her supposed friends was heartbreaking.
Overall this was a great read and I would suggest young teens to read this. My emotions were all over the place with the things she would go through and how she was treated. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So let’s talk about nostalgia! I mean come on, every girl that was in middle school had to deal with drama at one point in time. I found that even though True Colors was a novel more geared towards the middle school aged audiences, I still found it entertaining. I found myself able to read the book quite easily as an adult who hasn’t been in middle school for a very long time! The author did a good job of touching on many of the topics that middle school girls go through on a daily basis! There were mentions of the trials of friendships, of course self esteem issues, bullying, we can’t forget the notorious gossiping, and of course trying to find your way through middle school and preparing for high school, oh yes and I almost forgot… boys! I personally do believe that this is a well written novel that many pre teen and teenage girls would enjoy reading. The book was not overly long, and was written on a level that they would be able to understand. Great job to the author for making such an age appropriate, entertaining book for the younger generations of females.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is such a good book for young girls in middle school.
Landry goes thru losing/gaining/losing/gaining friendships over the course of the school year. Also while navigating having parents living apart and the start of a modeling career as well.

Landry shows grace and how hard it is to navigate that awkward age of 13/14. I thought the author did a wonderful job in the inner monologue along with the characters being super relatable. Middle school is so rough in all aspects and Landry shows that you can make it thru and have various friends groups and even how to handle those when they can’t cross paths with one another.

If my daughter was a little younger I would have her read this book/series because it’s relatable for those navigating the awkward teenage years between middle school and high school.

Landry is your normal teenage girl, feels invisible and left out. Her so called friends invite her to a modeling casting call for a tv show at a local mall and she is one of the finalists. Her so called friends ditch her and start making fun of her so she makes me friends with Devon and her crew. She makes the live show in her state but is not chosen as a finalist, however a few agencies want her to come for auditions. Soon she is torn between new friends and old and she’s not sure who to choose. What more could any teenage girl want, friends and game and fortune!

Landry is a thirteen (going on fourteen) year old girl who just wants to fit in. She wants a modeling career that will make her famous, friends who will be by her side through thick and thin, and something interesting to talk about with her classmates. She has friends who may not be as loyal as she thought. Throughout this book, Landry learns more about herself, meets new friends, and navigates the difficulties of middle school. I really enjoyed this book! I love the characters and the dialogue. I felt the characters were relatable and realistic. One small criticism was the technology in this book. I feel like today’s teens might not communicate in the ways they do in the book. I would definitely recommend this book to middle school, high school, and even adult readers, and I can’t wait to read the next books in this short series.

Glad those days are gone and makes me wonder how it’s been so long ago. Really good young adult book and coming of age read. And the friendships and the way young girls act to one another…it’s so spot on but also extremely sad. Seeing the way Landry was treated by her so called “friends” all the time actually made me sad and super angry for her. If Landry did something, there was always someone out there jealous of her or someone out there making up lies about her. The young girl bullies is something I can relate too as well. It happens a lot and I feel for Landry. Every time something went well for her, ericka was always there to talk down on her and bashing her behind her back. Making Landry feel like she doesn’t deserve what she’s achieving. Landry made it through a modeling competition but because ericka didn’t make it through, she had to start downplaying Landrys looks. Landry made it second place is this writing competition as well but because it wasn’t first place, ericka had something to say about that too. Friends don’t do that. So even though I really enjoyed this book, it also made me angry. I always say it’s a good book if you can bring out all kinds of emotions! I want to feel it all! So even though it made me mad, I loved it lol.

I was looking for a lighter read to get out of a bit of a reading slump and True Colors caught my attention. The writing and real life scenarios took me right back to middle school with cliques and struggles and oh, so much drama.. I can imagine this would be an incredibly relatable story for the younger audience and for that I would definitely recommend this book. The book was incredibly realistic with characters that felt like they could be in my own life, or could have been me many years ago. I would be curious to read more from this author in the future as well.

By : Krysten Lindsay Hager

This is such a sweet middle grade novel. One that I would have definitely recommended to my fifth grade girls and have had in my library back when I taught fourth and fifth grade. As a teacher, I felt that this book accurately portrayed middle school and how challenging school can be. Especially the drama, oh the drama! It brought back memories to my own middle school years but also to those students I teach. I definitely recommend this book!

I loved reading this as an adult and as a parent. My 7-year old son could definitely relate to Landry even though he’s just in 2nd grade. He learned a lot about his personality, being accepted (or not), FOMO, and what it’s like to be true to himself. As an adult raising my kids alone, it taught me how to point him in the right direction and away from frenemies. Great work to the author, Ms. Lindsay Hager!

This was a sweet short read. The author does an amazing job of bringing the leader character and all the people around her to life. The author does a really good Jo of captivating the feelings, thoughts and emotions of a young teenage girl and all the problems she encounters as she tries to navigate her way through life and find who she really is.

Landry is a normal teenage girl. She isn’t part of the popular crowd but she has her friends and she’s happy with that. Sometimes she wishes she was more interesting but that will never happy.
Until the day she enters a modelling competition with her friends. Landry doesn’t think she stands a chance of winning but she only goes to support her friends. So when she gets a call saying she had moved forward in the competition she thought her friends would be happy for her but boy was she wrong.
Her friends turn on her, completely ignoring her and blocking any attempts that Landry makes to talk to them.
Now she finds herself alone as she tries to navigate school, making friends with new people a potential crush and the modelling show how is she going to handle it all.
This brought back memories of my younger years as I remember how much of a awkward teenager I was and how hard u found it to fit in and find my place.

I highly recommend this wonderful book especially for young teen readers. I had to remind myself a few times that I am way older than the target audience but at the same time I still really enjoyed it. The authors writing style and very vivid descriptions draw you straight into the story and she expresses and handles the elements of a teen life, for example feelings, in a very understanding and completely relatable way.
