  • Cute but not as cute as can be3

    theEPICrat crush control is the perfect example of why I try to give authors a second shot of winning me over. I may not have been wowed by lipstick apology, but crush control definitely puts Jennifer Jabaley back on my TBR radar.

    THE GOOD BITS
    {Cute story concept} crush control reminds me of something, maybe as far as unique parents go. Whereas Elizabeth Scott goes with ex-playboy bunny, Jennifer Jabaley goes with a former Las Vegas hypnotist for Willow's mom. Bizarre as it sounds, it definitely works for the story! All these YA contemporary books that speak of "mind control" when the mean girls rule the school, but how interesting to introduce actual hypnosis into the high school dynamics!

    {Hypnotized or not hypnotized?} I think this was the main question of the story, and Willow had to determine if hypnosis was really the answer to her heart's desire. Does she have the heart to undo the hypnosis and put her feelings out there to be possibly rejected? Especially when she hypnotized Max to be her BFF before she left for Las Vegas and he now has a super-sweet girlfriend when Willow returns to Georgia. What a dilemma!

    THE BAD BITS
    {Cute, but not to the power of cuteness} I think crush control could have been taken up another notch to make it beyond the comprehension of cute. The drama potential was there, but it needed a little more fuel to really burn. For instance, I think Max's all-too-sugary girlfriend could have milked the jealousy factor and given Willow something more to untangle. It definitely would have given more reason for readers to dislike Max's girlfriend more - or it could have really driven the sympathy card in her favor.

    THE OVERALL
    crush control may not have rendered me into a babbly mess like Elizabath Scott tends to do, but I feel that it has the potential to - and that gets me interested to see what Jennifer Jabaley brings to the table next! by theEPICrat
