I was hesitant to start The Oracle Rebound because of what I assumed from the blurb.

She’s lost without her other half, and questions what her next step is. Looking back at her articles about breakups she realizes it’s not so easy to take your own advice when love might be just around the corner. What makes this different? Her strong family and fri More...

Here we are with a young adult book with no magic from me! I'm surprised myself.

I used to read books like Oracle Rebounds a lot, 2-3 years ago. I liked simple romances of teenage girls and guys and when i saw the book i couldn't resist.

The book starts with Kayla and Jared break up. Still it's difficult for me to understand why Kayla though he wanted to break up with her. It was pretty obvious he had more to say. And we see to end he indeed had some more things to say. Before be back together ag More...

The Oracle Rebounds was a fun, easy reading crash course in friendships and relationship brought to us by Alison van Diepien.

In The Oracle Rebounds we are taken into the life of a just-turned sixteen year old Kayla, a together and mature, girl who anonymously runs a website offering relationship advice for a small price unbeknown to all but two ofher friends.

The situations and hurdles Kayla and the characters of this book came across made for instant nostalgia for
someone, me, who has been out o More...

The Oracle Rebounds is the sequel of The Oracle of Dating, which I loved it.

Just for the tittle I knew something was going to happen between Kayla and Jared. It was sad to see them breaking up, and Kayla trying to deal with her broken heart.

But as always, I loved Kayla. She´s sweet, intelligent and strong. Even with her heart broken because of Jared, she can't hate him. She isn't going to say nasty things about him, even when she doesn't unders More...

Rating~ 2.8

What keeps making me wonder abou this book is how is it that a 16 year old knows so mush about relationships. Even after reading and researching a teen should not be the one to give their 25+year old sister dating advice. Am i only only one who saw that fault?

This book was about a girl named Kayla who had been dumped by her boyfriend. She has a Relationship advice website. Did i mention she was 16?

So with the help of her friends she tries to get over her Ex. From helping her friends More...

Kayla is still running her online dating advice blog – still anonymously - and she’s been dating her uber sexy artist (IMO anyway) boyfriend Jared for a while now. Things are going great.
Then Jared tells her he needs some breathing space and Kayla takes that as “I want to break up with you” and ends their relationship for him. Kayla immediately uses her Oracle of Dating skills to decide exactly how long she must wait before embarking on her rebound relationship.

After reading the first book in the series, The Oracle of Dating (find my review here) and liking it. I decided to give the second book a try. Better watch out for spoilers if you haven't read the first book. I admit it, I was very reluctant to start this one. Since I didn't know what will the author add to the ALREADY very good story. I thought that it will be just a stretch, a twin of the first book.
Hell, I was wrong.
Kayla's happily-ever-after with Jared was supposed to last FOREVER. But whe More...

First off, I've got to thank Harlequin for letting me review this book via NetGalley and all of the other books I will soon be reviewing from them via NetGalley. I've also got to say that I was a bad book reader when I asked to review this book. I didn't check to see if this book was part of a series, OOPSIE.

However, from what I read, you don't have to read the first book, The Oracle of Dating, in order to understand this one.

The book starts out with a dramatic break-up scene that had me laughi More...

The Oracle Rebounds is the sequel to The Oracle of Dating. After six months of dating, Jared tells Kayla that he needs to take a step back, leaving a heartbroken Kayla. Kayla's mom arranged a French foreign exchange student to take in their house for Kayla to be able to move on fast.

I think, Kayla was pretty reckless when she attended a party and a she started kissing a guy, then he attempts to have sex with her. And Jared calling to check up on her. And then the French hottie enters the scene. More...

How do you rate a book that is just run-of-the-mill fluff that's far from deep, yet is really fun? That's my question. Because that's exactly what The Oracle Rebounds is. Fluff. And I like me some fluff. But at the same time, I feel a bit off giving fluff books five (or four) stars unless they seriously made me laugh out loud (The Spellman Files, Can You Keep a Secret?) or if it's fluff that evoked a strong reaction from me (like I loathed every single one of the characters yet was still endless More...

Kayla is back as The Oracle of Dating, but this time she is on the rebound when she and Jared break up. I couldn’t wait to hear what sort of rebound advice Kayla would dish out on The Oracle of Dating blog.

To be honest, Kayla’s rebounding experience was pretty funny. She seemed to actually DO most of the things you DON’T want to do after a breakup. Kayla goes against her own advice when she falls for an exchange student and kisses the first guy to pay attention to her at a party. Kayla is learni More...




I enjoyed this book much more because it gave a bit of a more insight on Kayla and her life. Jared surprises Kayla by giving dumping her. Totally unexpected. She is in total shock and just confused. She is unsure what to do and what to say. Kayla does her best to move on, especially when a new foreign exchange student comes landing right in her lap. Can someone say rebound???


Kayla is such a strong character in this book. To me she is not perceived as a teenager. The way that she acts during a b More...

I absolutely loved the first Oracle book and was so happy to find out at the end of the first book that there would be a second one. The first thing that struck me was that this book is called “The Oracle Rebounds”. Obviously there must something wrong with the relationship between Kayla and Jared and with Kayla being the Oracle she’s doing some rebounding of her own because of the failed relationship.

I was a little sad to see Kayla and Jared break up, just because I love these two together so More...

Why do you keep expecting that the one who got away will come back? Why are women always hung up on men who broke up with them> The what-ifs kill you after a relationship ends. This is what Kayla experiences and we're lead through a journey where she gets over her ex - despite the rules she put out for her readers, she now knows that talking about getting -over-him and actually doing it are two different things.
Anyone who's felt unrequited love or gotten over a good (or even bad) relationship More...

this is the 2nd book in the series of The Oracle of Dating, and for me the rating that i gave remain the same as the 1st book, which is 2* (it's OK). although i felt that there's slightly improvement in the writing, it's not as bubbly as the first one, but it's not really significant.
when i said that there's improvement, what i mean is that the story is become more focus now. it's more "centered" into Kayla.
no longer as distracted by the clients' questions as she was, which actually make me thi More...

The Oracle Rebounds was amazing! Not quite rocked-my-socks-off, but I really was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it after a lukewarm response to its predecessor. Sure, I thought Kayla totally misinterpreted Jared's need for space and put herself through unnecessary heartbreak - however, Jared let her do so, so the blame still falls on his shoulders! As far as the catty blogger goes, I cannot believe such a thing would happen in the blogosphere - who would accept to host a guest blogger a More...

Earlier this year, I read and adored The Oracle of Dating by Allison van Diepen and was super excited to see that another book featuring the Oracle was coming out soon. When I saw this on NetGalley, I had to read it and review it here on the blog.

Allison van Diepen has penned another winner for me.

Reading this book was like catching up with old friends. Lots of things pop off in this book and though my heart was broken a little bit at the beginning, van Diepen does a great job of showing Kayla b More...

Sequel to Oracle of Dating, a hilarious young-adult, chick-lit novel

I was delighted to learn there was a sequel to The Oracle of Dating, which I enjoyed very much. Comedic YA seems to be an endangered species these days, and this book is very well-written chick lit.

Soon after the book begins, Kayla’s relationship with her terrific boyfriend, Jared, goes on the rocks when he asks to slow things down between them. Kayla is so hurt by this rejection that she breaks up with him. For several years sh More...

I received this from Net Galley for review. This is a cute book. I haven't read the first one, and I'm not sure I will. Mainly because this one gives me a pretty good idea of what happens in the first. That being said, this is a good book even without reading the first one. It says alot for an author and a series when you can pick up the book up and enjoy regardless of what happened in earlier books. Many of the contemporary YA books I've read lately are light and easy to read. This one does not More...

As you might have seen in my The Oracle of Dating review, that I had to start The Oracle Rebounds as soon as I finished the last pages of The Oracle of Dating.... and can I say that I loved this novel even more than the first!

The Oracle of Rebounds had everything I loved from The Oracle of Dating and then some! Can I just say that I love Kayla! She is such a great protagonist to read about! And even though she makes her share of mistakes... I never feel the need to yell at the book... you know w More...

If you thought The Oracle of Dating was a fabulously fun read, well just wait until you read The Oracle Rebounds because it's even better- which I personally didn't even think would be possible!

It's been five months, three weeks, and two days since Kayla and Jared got together and so far things have never been better! Kayla loves Jared and Jared loves Kayla and that's how it's going to stay, right? Wrong because on that fateful day five months, three weeks, and two days, Jared makes a stunning More...

My Thoughts: I was so excited to receive The Oracle Rebounds and I wasn't disappointed a bit. We are back with Kayla (the dating expert) and her bundle of friends. We start the book with Kayla and Jared stepping back from one another. Or more like him breaking up with her to focus on himself. So what does Kayla do? She turns to her work and the new foreign exchange student staying at her house. She starts dating him and spending lots of time with him. This is just a way to get over Jared she tel More...

The Oracle of Dating was a great, fun read, so I was naturally eager to read the sequel The Oracle Rebounds. If nothing else, I knew it would be a fun read, just like the first book. I was surprised to find that it was not just a fun read, but a spectacular sequel full of great advice, and some very interesting sub-plots.

The Oracle Rebounds focus mainly on Kayla and Jared’s breakup, and Kayla’s quest to get over him. She meets plenty of guys, and has plenty of hilarious adventures, but Jared is More...
