Review: Made the Grade: On the Rim of Love by Marie Astor
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 01 10, 2012
3.5 out of 5 stars! This novel is about finding out who you really want to be and following through with your dreams. It is a fun novel with great descriptions of the mountains and landscape. In addition, it shows the wonders that Maggie sees and feels while skiing.I couldn't help but automatically like Taylor and the relationship/friendship that slowly grows between Maggie and him. Their connection just flies off the page and you just want to root for them!!About the Characters:* Maggie: Throughout this book, she grows from a girl who is content with everyone around her choosing things for her into a woman who sticks up for what she wants and believes in.* Taylor: Someone who knows what he wants. Stands by his family and friends no matter what.* Jeffery: Arrogant prick. (I just wanted to smack him sometimes.)* Charlie: Jeffery's childhood friend. He seems sweet.* Bethany: Maggie's childhood friend. Snobbish. I think she means well in her own weird way.* Shawn & Hannah: Taylor's childhood friends. They both have problems with unrequited love.Even with all of the good stuff this novel has I will admit to not liking a part here and there (mostly Jeffery's scenes). However, the last few chapters really bring everything together and make this into one enjoyable novel!I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a good contemporary romance!! =0)Review By: From Me to You ...
