In addition, I have NetGalley review copy of Isn't She Lovely by Lauren Layne to give away!

The rules are clear—until they’re broken. Lauren Layne puts a New Adult spin on Pygmalion, also the inspiration for Pretty Woman, and gives the classic love story its edgiest twist yet.
 
“Who knew that pretending you’re not falling for someone would be so much more difficult than pretending that you are?” 
 
Stephanie Kendrick gave up her whole summer to ace her NYU film school screenwriting course, so she’s pissed to be stuck with a preppy, spoiled frat boy as her writing partner. Then again, with her piercings, black-rimmed eyes, and Goth wardrobe, Stephanie isn’t exactly Ethan Price’s type, either. He’s probably got his eye on some leggy blonde with a trust fund . . . or does he?
 
As the summer scene kicks off in the Hamptons, Ethan is desperate to make his snobbish mother forget the pedigreed girl who broke his heart. While Stephanie’s a stretch as a decoy, the right makeover and a pastel cardigan just might do the trick. She may not love the idea of playing Ethan’s brainless Barbie girlfriend, but the free rent and luxurious digs make a tempting offer. So does the promise of a ready-made screenplay idea inspired by their charade.
 
But when Stephanie steps into Ethan’s privileged world, the “acting” begins to feel all too real. The kissing and touching that were intended to fool the Hamptons crowd wind up manipulating them. And Stephanie faces a question she’s too afraid to ask: Is Ethan falling for the real her or for the dolled-up princess he wants to see?

  2. It's more like reality and tells us how to cope with life. It also portrays how the life changes after steping out of teenage years. This is the reason I like NA. :)

  5. I love new adult because it is the perfect balance of YA and adult. Young enough to usually not have kids LOL but older than the usual high school stories. A lot of college settings which I love or just finding yourself after college. No one has everything figured out in their twenties. Also allows for hotter scenes and more mature topics.

  11. I love reading New Adult because it's a great blend of something young and fresh, but at the same time it's comfortable for me since it's where I am at in my life. And even when I am not at this stage I know New Adult will help me look on this time in my life fondly both the good and the bad.

  12. That tote and mug are so cute!! I love New Adult because I like that it's still a lot of firsts, but a little more mature. I love reading about the characters really trying to find themselves and discover who they are. It also makes me feel less weird being obsessed with fictional boys when they are older lol!!
