Yes, some of the moments were a little too overdramatic for my tastes (the antics that Ella finds herself in especially) but it worked within the context of the story. You’ve got mean girls hook-ups backstabbing angst sexual tension and secrets–and not just from the teenagers, the parents are just as bad 😉īut that makes for an addicting read in many ways.
These books definitely read like your favourite teenage soap opera drama. However, they all follow a chronological order of events so it is best to read them in the order they are listed as on Goodreads. The first 3 books focus on Reed and Ella but the 4th and 5th books focus on Easton. While this does take place in high school (which I classify as YA), it definitely has more New Adult undertones to it especially when it comes to the sexual content. That’s why it was a 2019 5 Year 5 Book Reading Challenge pick for the year 2016. And once I discovered that this was an author duo whose individuals works I’ve enjoyed in the past, it seemed like a no-brainer to pick it up. But after I read (and adored) Erin Watt’s When It’s Real, I immediately made plans to bump this up on my TBR. I had Paper Princess on my radar for a long time but the potential soapy-ness of it all scared me a little.
