Carter would be in town when I would be on vacation so I wouldn’t be able to attend the book signing. I was super excited to find out the fierce and nerdy blogger/writer was going to be in New York. However, I was very disappointed I found out author Ernessa T. Carter that I just had to read 32 Candles !! I was totally amazed how the book captivated my attention that I read the 400 page book in one sitting! I was so pulled and glued to Davie Jones’ story that I just couldn’t put the book down and totally enjoyed every bit of the book. Can I tell you I share so much in common with Ernessa T. Cater graduated from a women’s college, and she started off as a blog writer before becoming a full blow #1 book seller. It was fitting for me to read 32 Candles fist being that I just celebrated my 32nd birthday, the author, Ernessa T.

So, naturally the first book on my summer reading list was of course 32 Candles. Carter, a new voice in fiction with smarts, attitude, and sassiness to spare.This summer has been so great especially since I finished grad school and I was able to start leisurely reading again.

With wholly original characters and a cinematic storyline, 32 Candles introduces Ernessa T. But is life ever that simple? Just as theyre about to ride off into the sunset, the past comes back with a vengeance, threatening to crush Davies dreams-and break her heart again. She lets him fall as deeply in love with her as she once was with him. To Davies astonishment, James doesnt recognize her, and she cant bring herself to end the fantasy. When a cruel school prank goes too far, Davie leaves the life she knows and reinvents herself in the glittery world of Hollywood-as a beautiful and successful lounge singer in a swanky nightclub.ĭavie is finally a million miles from where she started-until she bumps into her former obsession, James Farrell. Tormented endlessly in school with the nickname 'Monkey Night,' and hopelessly in unrequited love with a handsome football player, James Farrell, Davie finds that it is bittersweet to dream of Molly Ringwald endings. But in her case, life doesnt imitate art. Just when shes resigned herself to her fate, she sees a movie that will change her life- Sixteen Candles. She has the meanest mother in the South, possibly the world, and on top of that, shes pretty sure shes ugly. 32 Candles is the slightly twisted, utterly romantic, and deftly wry story of Davie Jones, who, if she doesnt stand in her own way, just might get the man of her dreams.ĭavie-an ugly duckling growing up in small-town Mississippi-is positive her life couldnt be any worse.
