Sage Advice
By: Cori Cooper

This was such a sweet story. I loved Pyper as a character. She seemed so self-confident and sure of herself. She also knew exactly what she wanted. However, she also knew what she didn’t want. At first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about Pyper and her efforts to cancel prom. However, I love the bigger story that that part of the plot lent itself to. I loved the lessons that were found in this story. This story gave me all the feels and transported me back to my own high school days, my insecurities and my feelings that I really knew everything. I definitely recommend this story!!

The author takes readers back in time to senior year of high school. Readers get to experience the highs and lows of teen romance. The heroine is protecting her heart. At the same time, she is dishing out advice to her peers anonymously through the school newspaper’s advice column. The author’s characters must decide whether to take risks by trusting others, or to simply play it safe (and boring) by guarding their hearts.

Reading this book and getting to know Pyper reminded me of my own thought process when I was in high school. The irony of it made me laugh so much. Pyper has a go-getter attitude when it comes to taking action but her activism efforts towards canceling prom has been declined. She also has a great relationship with her mother in which she shares everything going on in her life with her. It’s really nice to see a positive and healthy mother and teenage daughter relationship. Her mother appears to be Pyper’s voice of reason when it comes to her thought process and decisions with her current life standings. As the story proceeds, Pyper discovers that we may not know the right and wrong of everything going on in our lives and starts coming to terms with that aspect. Great concept for many teens to learn that it’s okay not knowing everything.

I enjoyed Sage Advice. It’s a great read for young adults. I liked the family dynamic. I also thought Pyper was very mature but still teensy. Lots of lessons were taught in this story. I would recommend this for pre-teens and up!

I am an avid YA reader, mostly romance, and I thought that this book was super cute! I wasn’t sure what to expect after the first chapter but it didn’t disappoint. The characters are all really relatable for everyone who has ever been a teenager! Pyper is wonderful lead character and I was happy to follow her journey as the story went on! This book just goes to show that your mind isn’t always made up!! If you’re looking for a light hearted fast read, this is the one for you!

I felt like I went back to high school. However this time I didn’t hate it. Sage Advice is a cute story about you guessed it high schoolers. I love the advice column aspect of the story. Though I was able to figure some out, it still gave a different life to the book. Frankly just as oblivious as the main character exhibits throughout I didn’t realize that tidbit from the title. But it is glaringly obvious now.
Pyper is a high school senior, who had her heart shattered, and that incident revolved around prom. So what does she do? She swears off men, but at the same time lets everyone believe she’s in a relationship. She also tries to get prom canceled. Like I said, try. She learns some valuable lessons throughout this book. Some minor others may be a little more important. It’s the growth that she exhibits as she learns these lessons that really makes her character blossom.
Will she ever confront and/or let her ex-boyfriend go?
Will she open her eyes to not miss opportunities to be happy, that are right in front of her?
Those questions and so many more to get the answers too. There’s so many characters that Impact Pyper in different ways, which actually reminded me of the people I surrounded myself with at that age. They were friends for sure, but they all served a different purpose in your life if they knew it or not.
If you want something different, check out this young adult novel. Transport yourself back to a time when things didn’t matter as much as they do now. Teens, this book is definitely for you!

Pyper Lewis is a young lady on a mission, a mission to cancel (in her opinion) the worst event on the social and educational calendar, an event which is a tradition for every school leaver to attend and one which has a hold on her memories which she cannot shake. PROM!!! Pyper thought she was not alone in hating this celebration of coming of age, however, when she requests that the school council cancels it, everyone votes against it, including the boys, but it gets even worse when she finds out that she has to now organise it instead!

At least she has her best friends she can turn to for help cheering herself up and it just so happens that one of them is having a dilemma all of her own and this is something that Pyper cannot resist, giving advice and helping those around her. This is when her determination to succeed eclipses everything else and despite that four-letter event looming in the future, she decides to make the rest of the senior year up to it the best one ever for herself and her friends and nothing can stop her once she has made her mind up.

As the year passes and the dreaded prom moves closer, Pyper’s best laid plans to avoid prom at all costs start to unravel bit by bit, but can she overcome her fear and the memories this event invokes in her, or will she miss out on what could be a great time with her friends? This is a fun coming of age story which deals with strong emotions in a fun and playful way, while also not minimising the impact that these emotions have on the person, it is witty and a must read for anyone who is a fan of imperfect teens and the mayhem they cause.

This was a wonderful read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve read a few books by this author now and she’s got such a great writing style – her stories really engage me the whole way through.

This is a young adult romance story and it definitely transported me back to that time in my life – I think I’m certain I wouldn’t like to go through it again. I found the characters really engaging and a lot of young readers would definitely be able to relate to some of the things the main character, Pyper, is going through. There were some great secondary characters in the story too.

This is definitely a great YA romance read and I would recommend it to readers of all ages.

This book is a standalone coming of age story. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author but it did not disappoint.

Pyper has all the answers. Just ask her. She is a very positive, happy girl. However, the prospect of prom does not make Pyper very happy. In fact, the girl with all the answers knows prom needs to be cancelled. Through the story, Pyper learns more about herself and starts to realize, maybe she doesn’t have all the answers after all. How does senior year turn out for Pyper and her friends? Find out!

This was a very well written story. The character growth and development was on point. Pyper is a relatable character. I’m sure any one of us could relate to Pyper at one point or another. So glad I gave this book a chance!

This was an amazing and heartfelt read. Cori did an amazing job at having the characters develop and grow throughout the book.

This book follows Pyper. Pyper is a positive and go-lucky girl. She likes bright colors and helping people. There is only one thing that does not bring a smile to Pyper’s face and that is Prom. Prom is the bane of her existence and she could care less about the tradition of it.

Throughout this story, Pyper starts to learn new things about herself that she never realized before. Pyper is not a fan of being vulnerable around people her age and rarely her family. Luckily she has some friends in her corner that love and support her.

What happens when the girl with all the answers does not know what to do? Can the past blind someone to what is right in front of them? Will her negativity and discontent with prom affect her relationships?

Read this book to find out what happens with Pyper and her friends. Being a high school senior is not all it’s cracked up to be.

I love this book so much! It was super cute and I loved the HS aspect of it and dealing with prom and all the stress. Brings back memories lol. All the characters were great and I could picture who each person would look like and sound like and it was just a great movie playing in my head while reading this. I was lost in it and next thing I know…I finished the book. I do wish that there was more with landen and pypers relationship…I was sad it ended the way it did because I NEEDED more lol.

This is an adorable YA romance book. It follows the main character Pyper over senior year with Prom as the big focus of her year. She wants it canceled, but her efforts backfire. For Pyper having all the answers is normal, but this moment of not having them is breaking her. With the help of friends and family she works through this dilemma called Prom and learning that it is okay to not have the answers. It was a fast paced read that kept me turning the pages. It was easily a one day read. A great story with likable characters in a familiar highschool setting that makes connecting to them easy. I would highly recommend picking up this YA romance! I cannot wait to pick up another book by this author.

Having read “ Ways to improve Bailey” I was looking forward to another fun filled read and I was NOT disappointed 😉

So Pyper is a little ray of sunshine , she’s bright , preppy , peppy but she also has a wee flaw , she wants to cancel prom ….she also realises she doesn’t always have the answers and she doesn’t know it all #surprise😉

Pyper is the girl you want to befriend and she herself has a beautiful and supportive tribe 🥰

I loved Pyper and friends and this is something I’d love to share with my teen daughters ❣️📚

Sage Advice is a wonderfully written YA/ Clean Romance that will have you turning the pages till the end. This author never ceases to amaze me with her creative yet relatable and fully developed characters along with a storyline that flows. This story teaches us a very important message that it’s ok to not know everything and you don’t need to have all the answers. There’s the right amount of humor mixed with a few emotional moments but I couldn’t stop till I finished. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next with Sage. Will she learn it’s ok to not know all the answers I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Sage advice was such a fun book. It took me right back to high school and it’s drama. I loved the way everything unfolded, but really wished prom night went a little longer. I want to see what happens with all of Pyper’s friends- Leah, Will, Sam and Brooklyn. So, if you plan to write a sequel, you’ve got an audience for it! Landen and Pyper were well written and very likeable characters. I liked the light hearted feeling of the book, with some funny parts and serious parts. I like how the story of Jason unraveled and the resolution with Travis. This book could be enjoyed by teen and up and I look forward to more from the author. I really like her style.

This is my first time reading Cori Cooper so I was pleasantly surprised by Sage Advice. This coming-of-age, clean romance finds Pyper in her Senior year of high school and struggling to find the balance in being able to offer great advice but being unable to take any advice to heart. Cori Cooper did an amazing job capturing the “essence” of high school, from the drama and angst to the peer pressure and young love. I felt like I was walking the halls of high school all over again. The characters she created are so believable, likeable, and realistically flawed. This fast-paced read was very wholesome and relaxing and I can’t wait to read more by Cori Cooper!

I really enjoy reading Cori Cooper. She does an excellent job of telling the story and pulling you in. In this story it did take me a bit longer to get into but that is most likely because I’m a thirty year old woman and this story is based more on high school age kids. There is a lot at that age going on and I believe many young adults will love this story and Cori Cooper’s writing skills.

High school, some peoples dream and others worst nightmare. Pyper is an amazing, outgoing, and popular girl who gives the best advice, but doesn’t seem to take any of the advice she preaches. Prom needs to be canceled, just so Pyper doesn’t have to deal with unresolved issues, but leads to love filling the air, and a high school romance story ending it all.

Pyper is well-liked, and would do anything to help. She is happy to live her life, as a daughter, sister, friend, and confidante. Her latest idea: cancel the prom. When she tries to get the committee to see her side, the result is putting her in charge of bringing the prom to fruition.
When Pyper who thinks she has all the answers suddenly begins to question her own advice, she concedes that she may have to give in to rolling with the punches.
Sage Advice is a fast-paced, well-written and fun! I enjoyed Pyper’s story from beginning to end, and I highly recommend this book.

I thought Pyper was entertaining but reflective of the age she was portraying. It was so easy to imagine her in a real setting, going through the same emotions and journey.
This book was a great story and is one that will appeal to most. It was easy to read and I found myself getting swept up in the story. This book was thoroughly enjoyable to read and I would definitely recommend it.

This lovely story takes place on the eve of senior year for Pyper and her friends, and things must be perfect! Pyper is part of the student council and has a mission that isn’t too favorable for most to contemplate, but she has her reasons! I find this journey for Pyper and her friends to be an adorable adventure with a fun cast of characters and life lessons behind it. Pyper gives off some Elle Woods vibes, especially with her love of bright and colorful things, but supporting friendships and good nature sense of self. My favorite character is Brooklynn! She is a version of me in the story and I loved revisiting it through her. She can be a bit naive when it comes to certain things, but she is always there to assist a friend in need when it counts. The writing is well done and easy to enjoy, however, I find the numerous amount of life quotes a tad overwhelming otherwise no true misgivings. It is nostalgia and I found myself reminiscing about my high school experiences. This is why I think it would definitely make a great Hallmark movie! I urge you to read this novel if you are looking for a cozy night in with some coffee, wine, or whatever your pleasure!!

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I enjoy her writing skills and her attention to details to make her stories pop. They are fun, creative stories that are hard to put down. This book is no different. This is a well written story about Pyper who thinks she has all the answers except when it comes to prom. She tries to cancel it but will she learn that sometimes it’s okay not to know all the answers? I enjoyed her character and what she brought to the story. She is a fun character that has a lot of growth throughout the story. She is my favorite of the story and keeps the story engaging. I enjoyed how connectable all the characters are.

Pyper is a senior with all of the answers. She gives all of the advice but isn’t much to taking her own advice. Prom is something that she dreads with every fiber her being. She doesn’t have very good memories of it, so when she comes up with the idea to get prom canceled, she brings the idea to the student council which is a bunch of jocks. They ignore her idea and now she has to come up with another plan, but will she able to keep her friendships and face her mistakes that she’s been avoiding all year long? This Author does a very good job at showing the emotions and thoughts of your typical teenager and the problems that come their way.

I’m a fan of Cori Cooper and I do believe this is my favorite read by her so far!

Pyper is a senior in high school. She’s beautiful and all the boys clamor to be near her. She’s taken, however, by Jason. When an opportunity comes up to present an idea to the student council that can save the senior class some money, Pyper jumps to share her wonderful idea to the bunch of jocks that servce on the council.

The jocks don’t like her proposal. As a matter of fact, she’s not even sure they heard her. No one voted in support of cancelling prom. Now, Pyper is trying to cover up for past mistakes and help others to not make the same mistakes she has.

Can she keep her personal feelings out of all of this though? Can she still manage to keep her friendships going through all of this?

I loved this book! It’s nice to read a fun, clean romance novel that isn’t overly sappy involving young adults. So refreshing! There are moments of humor but mostly, it’s just a fun story to follow along!

Teenage romance
This is a clean YA romance that centres around Pyper, a high school student with a lot of advice to give. She quickly learns that maybe she needs to be willing to take advice too. Navigating these teenage years can be brutal and the author presents a very realistic picture. This will appeal to a wide YA audience. Recommend.

4 Stars

 

Sage Advice by Cori Cooper is a YA story with humour, emotion, teen angst & drama, self-discovery, friendship, family, clean romance, first love, growing up, message/lessons, learning that you don’t need to ‘know everything’, and it’s ok to not have all the answers.
As I have mentioned before, Ms. Cooper is a talented storyteller who has the ability to create such wonderful characters and really interesting plots that have a deeper meaning, which to me, is a true testament to her writing skills. She never fails to draw me into her world, keeping me engrossed the whole way through.
As expected, this is a sweet story that mixed some poignant ‘lessons’ and issues with some fun and a little emotion.
Another enjoyable read from her. Looking forward to more from Ms. Cooper!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Cori Cooper!

An enjoyable and sweet YA romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Teenager Pyper Lewis is used to having all the answers to all the questions, as she’s busy giving out advice. She’s looking forward to having an amazing senior year and making it great for her friends. Her only concern is the prom, as unfortunately she has bad memories and so even tries to cancel it but her plan backfires. Eventually Pyper has to face the prom and decide whether to trust that Landen will not hurt her like she was once before. With the help and support of her family and friends Pyper discovers that she does not always need to have all the answers. Pyper is so likeable and relatable that I could not help but feel engaged with her. I was immersed in the storyline, which was very realistic in regards to the teenage issues and emotions raised. I liked how Pyper developed throughout the story and learnt about herself, which made her an inspirational main character for YA readers.
