After loving My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century and it’s sequel, A Tale of Two Centuries, I couldn’t wait to dive into My Not So Super Sweet Life. Just as I suspected, I loved it! Harris’ writing is just as fun and sweet as it’s always been and I loved revisiting these characters. Even though this one has way more drama and real feelings than the other two books, I really enjoyed the story and watching it all unfold.In this story, Cat has to deal with the crazy antics of her estranged mother. I definitely did not like her mother at all. While she wasn’t outright mean or anything, she was careless, selfish, and had no love for Cat whatsoever. Poor Cat! She knows her mother is trouble and everyone says so, but a small part of her can’t help but want to work things out with her, figure out why she left her and try to forge some kind of relationship with her. I was honestly surprised she felt that way about her mother, but I understood it. She needed to learn for herself what her mother was truly like. I think Harris did a great job with how their relationship went and letting the reader see Cat’s feelings and what was on her mind through all this.Easily the best part of this story was Lucas. Hand down! I loved his POVs and just being inside his head. He’s such a genuinely good guy, loyal, sweet, and super swoonworthy. He definitely proves his worth in Cat’s world in this book and I liked that not only do we get to see how much he helps Cat with her troubles, we get to see how he handles his troubles. Even though Cat really cares for Lucas, it’s obvious she’s still guarded and hesitant and I love how he basically sweeps her off her feet and shows her how much she means to him. I swear, I wanted to shake Cat and be like “DO NOT let this boy go”! He was just plain awesome.If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll definitely want to give this one a read. It’s just a sweet, easy, fun read. Perfect as Spring or Summer read, for sure. I’m seriously hoping a certain new character introduced in this book will get his own book because I’m dying to know more about him. Looking for a fun YA contemporary read with a bit of romance?
