4 stars!I spent quite a bit of time going back and forth with my rating. I can't decide whether to rate it 3.5 or 4. In the end, I decided to go with four for these reasons...-Nate and Charlie. From the get go, I felt their connection and chemistry together. Considering that Nick also figures pretty prominently in the book, that's no easy feat. Ms. Frederick was able to establish early on the indelible connection between Nate and Charlie.-The letters. Around 30% of the book was told through Char...

"I want you and no one elseI want you for myselfI want you and nothing else girl ...I’ve got nothing to loseI want you and if I can’t have youThen no one will" – I want you by Nick Jonas There's always one sign when you’ve read a great book and that's the feeling of being utterly bereft, as though you just don't know what to do with yourself. That's what I'm feeling at this exact moment.I don't know what to do with my f*cking self.I feel as if I'm a snowflake that’s been hurtled in a blizzar

5 - We waited so long, fought so hard. Stars!I love Jen Frederick’s books, and The Charlotte Chronicles is no exception. I knew that she was releasing Charlotte and Nate’s story initially in serialized installments, but knowing myself and how much I love her work, I knew that if the story grabbed me I’d be seriously miffed having to wait for each part to be released. So I made the decision to wait until all parts were available, that way I could enjoy and devour their story in my own time, and

A prime example of all the worst things about New Adult. The first part of the novel opens with teens Charlotte, Nate, and Nick reeling from Charlotte's diagnosis of brain cancer. Nate and Nick are brothers, and their parents and Charlotte's have been friends for ages, living in the same Chicago building. Nate has always believed that he and Charlotte are destined to be romantic partners ("she was mine as soon as they put her in my arms"—can you say "ickkk"?) but thinks that at 15, Charlotte is

The Charlotte Chronicles charts the dramatic life of Charlotte and Nathan, one of the Jackson boys. It's the story of how their lives intertwine with a fierce bond tested to the very limits. It's their love story, together and apart, their pain, their heartache and their second chances.It's about growing up, courage, hope, first times, first loves and forever. It's about forgiveness and having the power to move on. The story begins when Charlotte is 15 and Nathan is 17. Their story, even though...

Spoilers,bitter ranting and cursing aheadDNF at less than 10%,I didn't even make it out the fucking prologueEvery book I've read from this author has had a loyal hero, from the worst manwhores to the virgin heroes each one has been loyal from day 1 to their heroine.......until I got to this one. In the epilogue of the parent's book we know that Nate has viewed Charlotte as his from a very young age, they grow up together and their families are very close. I was excited to hear the story of the b...

[image error] First and foremost, I must say that I simply adore and love Jen Frederick. I first fell in love with her books when I read Undeclared of the Woodland series and since then I was addicted to her story telling and writing. If you read Undeclared, Unspoken and Undressed, then you are all familiar with Grace, Noah, AnnMarie, and Bo. In Undressed, we learn that Grace and Noah’s son, Nathan marries Charlotte, AM and Bo’s daughter. But what makes Jen an amazing author was that she trea...

WtfNothing that came after could make up for Nate sleeping with someone else when Charlie was having surgery. Nothing. Not only is sex with other people totally wrong in a romance, this was much worse because they already knew each other, already loved each othet, and she was having freaking surgery because she had cancer, and he decided to go have sex with someone else because he was upset. This makes no sense, and it's absolutely disgusting.

☆ I received an ARC via TRSOR PR in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!! ☆Sooo after reading the epilogue of Unspoken I had been really been dying for a Nate and Charlotte book. Thank you Jen Frederick for making my wish come true! You are the best! The Charlotte Chronicles truly entailed what its title infers. We journey with Charlotte through many different periods of her life from childhood best friends, to awkward spurts of puberty, AND FINALLY ultimate true love…along with insecur...

Ahh!! This blurb makes my heart squeeze!!!!! Charlotte and Nathan were supposed to be forever. They grew up together. Their families were intertwined. Charlotte was Nathan's first love. Nathan was Charlotte's first everything. Until they weren't. How do you hold on to the person you know in your heart you are supposed to be with when everything and everyone in the universe is telling you it's over? Standalone.

One of the best romantic escapes I've ever taken! If I consider Nora Robert’s definition of romance as "the celebration of falling in love and emotion and commitment," then Jen Frederick nailed it with The Charlotte Chronicles. Of course before all the happy festivities life gets in the way and we get to join both Charlotte and Nathan through all the bumps and curves they have to navigate to get to their happy ever after.I need to confess I did something I hadn't done since way back when I first...

I have so much to say about this book but maybe the most important is to read this book, it's beautiful and heart wrenching. This book will leave you breathless and moved, and it's a book that will stick with you. This book is worth the read, among a sea of bad, good, and great books this one deserves your time. And two please before you start this buy at the minimum of one box of kleenex, you will need it. And just an added friendly tip if you are all cute and done up you may want to wait till

Oh, what to say........ This book starts off with Charlotte at 15 years old & Nathan a "worldly" 17- I think.The book immediately starts off on a very sad note- Charlotte having surgery to remove a brain tumor. It was very heavy and surreal. Charlotte's brain tumor is in the same area of the brain where my own daughter had her tumor (my daughter was 2 1/2 years old at the time). The details were very close to what we went through 20 or so years before this book was set. The 1st and 2nd surgery d...

The Charlotte Chronicles has been amazing to watch as it grows from young naive love to breathlessly unbreakable passion. Having absolutely fallen in love with their parents it was easy to hope that these two would capture the love and unique friendship that has continued with these families for so many years. I love how Jen Frederick was able to keep their relationship true to Charlotte and Nate even being apart for so many years. I don't think it could have worked any other way. A must read an...

This book was absolutely breathtaking and heartbreaking! A good page-turner!! It was a beautiful story of the power of friendship, loss, healing and a total, unconditional love. 1. It kept me hooked from page one, 2. It kept me glued to the page because of the unexpected plot twists and turns, 3. It had enough gripping suspense, emotional tension and throbbing pathos, 4. I was mesmerized by Charlotte and Nathan. They were magic. Anyone could see that these two were meant to be, 5. I was made lau...

2 DNF-at-56% stars Ok, the first part of the book was absolutely great, but I had to DNF this one anyway. I'm sorry but the part between 50% and 55% was too awful to ignore. It was bad. Nathan's actions didn't make sense and his way of thinking everything would be alright thanks to 6 orgasms was ridiculous. It wasn't the Nate I liked so much in the first half of the story. To me, the most important thing in a book is realism, it's what makes you love the intrigue and the characters so much : bec...

If Part Two of the book had been as fleshed out as Part One, this could’ve worked. Alas, them meeting again after what was it again? 9 years? kinda felt anticlimactic and rushed. Also, the second part was pretty much all about the sex. What with the amount of time we spent with the characters as teenagers, I certainly expected a better story for their adult years. More emotions, more substance...

3-1/2 stars.No doubt about it, Jen Frederick writes some of the hottest scenes I've ever read. And I particularly love the Woodlands series--Gray Phillips from Unraveled is one of my all time favorite guys ever. So when I realized that this series is a spin-off from that, focusing on Grace and Noah's sons (from Undeclared) and Bo and Ann-Marie's daughter (from Unspoken), I was all. over. it.The story begins with fifteen year old Charlotte being diagnosed with Cancer. We see the special relation

3.5 stars I just can't resist a good story where childhood friends fall in love, then something tragic happens, and the story turns into a second chance at love story - which is the main reason I decided to read this book. And I'm glad I did. This was a good book - super sexy, funny, and full of emotions. I loved Charlotte and Nathan, but their journey to finding their HEA together is one full of challenges and heartbreak. Oh the feels! I wanted to rate this book higher, but the pacing in the se...
