I've always written scripts for my perfect life.
But no way could I have ever scripted this.
My life is so far from perfect, it’s not even funny.
All because of a stalker.

I’m at a boarding school where I have to lie about who I am.
I can’t see my family.
I’m tutoring a Hottie God that tortures me with his smile.
The most popular girl already hates me.
But there’s this boy.
This hot, sweet, sexy boy.
So I’m going to stop trying to script my life and just live it.
Because who knows how long I have left.

Stalk Me

Kiss Me was just as, if not more exciting than Stalk Me. Jillian Dodd did a fantastic job describing the new world Keatyn has been forced into. And the boys? Yum!

Keatyn has been forced into a life of hiding, lying, and limited social media because Vincent is still after her. Her new life is harder than she thought. Lying all the time about her past is getting harder because the people she's grown to be friends with deserve the truth. To add to all of her problems, she has two guys after her. Who will she pick? The sweet guy who's not over his ex or the one labeled as a player who puts her in a trance anytime he's around...

I like Keatyn, I really do, but sometimes she just annoys the crap out of me. She's stuck in this love triangle/square and can't pick a guy. She's fun, outgoing, and all the guys love her for it. She lets loose, doesn't label anything, and just goes with the flow. Who wouldn't love that? However, it's her antics with the boys and her indecisiveness about which one she want's that made me rate this at three hearts.

I must say the best part of this book was the boy drama, but it got old after a while. Aiden and Dawson are two almost completely different guys who are battling it out for Keatyn's heart. I flip flopped a lot between the two while reading and I swear I switched teams like eight times. While the boy drama was entertaining, I felt the story was a little slow at times. Some scenes would drag while other were fast paced. I loved the descriptions Jillian had about each of the boys, the settings, and Keatyn's feelings.

Overall, Kiss Me was a good read. I wish we got to see more of Aiden, but he was off with a stick up his butt half the time. No matter Aiden's issues, I'm still excited for the third book, Date Me, to come out in the spring. This series is an awesome, light, fun read and I intend to read each and every one of the books.

Gossip girl meets Hollywood in this new series by That Boy author, Jillian Dodd.

Keatyn has everything she ever dreamed of. Her life is following the script she wrote for the perfect high school experience. She’s popular, goes to the best parties, dates the hottest guy, and sits at the most coveted lunch table.

She’s just not sure she wants it anymore.

Because really, things aren’t all that perfect.
Her best friend is threatening to tell everyone her perfect relationship is a scam.
Her perfect boyfriend gets drunk at every party they go to.
It’s exhausting always trying to look and act perfect.
And deep down, she isn’t sure if she has any true friends.

To add to the drama, her movie star mom’s long-time fan has turned stalker.
An older man is flirting with her and telling her they should make a movie together.
And she’s crushing on an adorable surfer. Dating a guy like him would mean committing social suicide.

So she writes a new script. One where all the pieces of her life will come together in perfect harmony.
But little does she know, there’s someone who will do anything to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Never have I ever experienced a whirlwind of emotions for any book until I read Stalk Me. Jillian Dodd had me laughing hysterically, crying my eyes out, and overly giddy.

Keatyn isn't like most girls. Her mom is a famous movie star. Somehow she convinced her to let her attend public school and live a mostly normal teenage life.  A life that revolves around boys, clothes, and partying... until her moms life starts to impact hers and changes everything she's become accustomed to.

Wow! So many clothes, boys and parties. I'm kinda jealous. Keatyn is an intelligent, good-looking girl with the world at her disposal. She has a few rules to live by and friends that make her someone she doesn't like. They define her, but she wants to figure out who the real Keatyn is. Her world is a script she's editing and it never goes according to plan.

This story is awesome. Once I got past all the designer labels and found the heart of the story, I fell in love. I made guesses about the boys, her friends, and the stalker. However, the ending really surprised me. It was unexpected and abruptly came to a close, but set up nicely for the next book. I found myself crying on one page then flipped to read more only to find myself dying from laughter. I was an emotional wreck and felt a little bi-polar because of it.

Overall, Stalk Me was a fantastic read that left me pining over boys, wanting new clothes, and emotionally drained. It was fast paced and exciting. I highly recommend it if you want to read something like Gossip Girl.
