While waiting for my books to arrive, just reading what is under hand. I'm not into a lot of romance and chick lit books, but sometimes I just need something like this for my fuming brain. This was as good as the first book in the series - funny, light, not irritating. It's even kind of enspiring and motivational. But what else can you get from Rachel Hollis?
I think I have a new favorite author! I enjoyed Party Girl, but Sweet Girl set the bar even higher. Max is a dynamic character. She is fiercely independent, incredibly talented, and haunted by past mistakes. This just described like at least 20 woman I personally know. That is one of the reasons I love this series so much. The characters feel real. It's easy to relate to them. One of my favorite lines in this book is when Max's mom says to her, "Leaning on another person and allowing yourself to...
4.5/5 starsSweet Girl is part of The Girls series but can be read as a standalone. It features a different narrator (although the narrator of the first book is in this book). I would describe it as Chick Lit.The narrator is 25 year old Mackenzie/Max Jennings.I am really happy that I went into this book blind. So I had no idea what the book was about other than the title, which I really like for the book.When the book begins Max is working as a bartender. She is very good at it. But she is super
I got an early copy of this book in order to review it. First off, I've read Rachel's other two books and loved loved loved them. I was so excited to get this one. This book had me at page one. In fact I was so super glued to this book I finished it in one afternoon!!! It started off a little slow but picked up steam pretty quickly and became just amazing. I loved reading Max's story while continuing to keep up with Landon and Miko. I can't wait to read about Miko and see if she ends up with who...

But spending hours concucting new recipes, spending time with her family, friends and a certain annoying boy, all while trying to keep her past a secret,
4.5This was my first Rachel Hollis book and I almost didn't read it. I downloaded it on Netgalley but then got cold feet the more I thought about it. I was worried it would be too sweet for me. I deleted it. But then I started following Rachel's website TheChicSite.com. Surely, if I liked this website I would like her writing. Right? But what if this is a case of a fan that should leave writing to professionals? Finally, I decided on a whim this weekend to re-download it. I had read a review tha...
Sweet Girl is the second novel from Rachel Hollis' The Girls Series and follows the ups and downs of Max Jennings. We met her in the first book, Party Girl, and I was excited to get my hands on her story and delve into her inner workings. I fell in love with Landon from Party Girl and worried that Hollis wouldn't be able to replicate the fantastic story telling from her debut novel. For the record, she exceeded any and all expectations I had, delivering another phenomenal five star read that rea...
This was such a great book. I really enjoyed Rachel's writing. This book was a good, clean and fun - not your typical romance book. It really about a girl Max who has had her share of heartbreak and struggles. This book is about her overcoming her fears and taking on a dream that seems out of reach. I loved that Max was flawed and struggled. I loved watching her family and friends rally around her. I also loved Taylor and their beautiful friendship blossom into something more, some thing special...
If you've read the first book (read the first book), you know what to expect. Plus, it's Max and you want to know her story from the first time we meet her in Party Girl. These are true "coming of age" stories, even if the protagonists are a little old for that (Max is 25). Hollis is fantastic at putting her characters together in such a way that it all fits, though. This one isn't quite the clear win that Party Girl was. There's a scene I didn't think quite fit (and it's kind of a pivotal scene...
Our heroine was raised in a privileged household. But she decides to pay for her own college and work long hours to support herself. Her dream is to become a chef. She finally lands the perfect job. But the long hours begin to affect her health. With the help of our hero she manages to overcome a troubled past to reach her happily ever after.
*I was given an ARC from Netgalley. All comments are my own.This is the second book to the "The Girls" series but it works perfectly well as a stand-alone novel, especially since I haven't read the first book. I really enjoyed reading this book tremendously! It centres around Max, short for Mackenzie, who is a diabetic who loves to bake. Her dream has always been to set up her own bakery but because of her health and something that happened six years ago, Max's dreams seem to be just that - drea...
**I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**This book was awesome!! Loved the characters, the story, the many things that are mentioned through-out the book and I think I gained weight with all the mentioning of baked goodies. I need a cupcake now!! I hope that there are more books to this series. Great series!
