I am so confused right now. I don't know what to feel. That was not an ending. I know it's a series but what the hell? This is obviously a story about revenge, more specifically about 3 high school girls getting revenge on 3 people who did them wrong. This story is interesting enough, I mean I did read it in one day, but I still think this book is missing that "wow" factor if that makes sense. I didn't relate to any of he characters and I wasn't attached to any of them. Even with Mary's sad story about the way Reeve wronged her, I didn't feel emotionally attached to her or Kat or Lillia. The thing I did like about this book was the way it felt like the movie Mean Girls. Obviously, Rennie is the Regina George and our 3 main girls are all trying to get revenge against her. I mean, some scenes in this book were very, very similar to Mean Girls. I think we've all known girls like Rennie in our lives. I sure have and it played out almost the exact same way. I had two best friends in elementary school who eventually grew to hate each other because one of them was a total brat and the other kept calling her out on it, and I tried to keep the 3 of us friends until I realized she was right, the other girl was a total brat, and it exploded from there. Ironically, she also became a cheerleader in high school and is so fake to everyone it makes you want to vomit. Kind of like Rennie. That's what I liked most about this book is that we've all wanted to get revenge against someone like that. I just wish they would've actually done more shit to Rennie cause she deserved it. (Does that make me a bad person? Idk.) All of the things they did to get revenge seemed very juvenile and childish and felt more like a prank than actual revenge.... I was expecting some serious shit to go down and then it was just like (minor spoiler) "we're gonna switch out his football jersey with limp instead of lind and that'll make everyone laugh" *insert eye roll*
Overall, I liked this book enough to give it 3 stars. It was written well and it kept a steady pace. I just wish the revenge stuff felt more like revenge instead of child's play. I'm not sure if I will continue the series. I might just out of curiosity since we don't get any freaking answers at the end of this one. This book is entertaining enough to finish it, and it's actually pretty short, so I would say it's still worth the read even though I had some problems with it (as discussed below).
*SPOILERS BELOW* So, I kind of got frustrated with our main characters because it is decided very quickly that they want to get revenge against all of these people, and I get Kat and Mary's reason for wanting revenge, but Lillia only thinks that Alex is hooking up with her sister, she doesn't know that for sure. And when she finally realizes that Alex never hooked up with her sister she feels guilty about all the shit she did to him, and I'm wondering why the hell would she do all of that unless she was absolutely positive he deserved it? I mean shit, Reeve and Rennie deserved it, but Alex? I don't think so. Also, it seemed like 70% of the story was about all the ways they were getting revenge on Alex, and then the last few chapters were Rennie and Reeve's. I was slightly disappointed because as I said earlier, I thought Reeve and Rennie deserved it way more than Alex, and we barely get to see them get what they had coming. The ending was so abrupt and we are left with so many questions. I know it's a series but I would have liked a little more of a conclusive ending. Like - what the hell happened to Reeve? Will he live? Will the girls get caught? Does Mary have supernatural abilities that she is just discovering? Has Reeve seriously liked Lillia this entire time or was that just the ecstasy talking? Is Reeve going to get kicked off the football team? Will Alex, Reeve, or Rennie ever find out that Lillia was behind all of it?
I honestly think Rennie deserved to the worst with the way she treated everyone and she got the least amount of shit done to her. Who cares if she didn't win the Homecoming queen title? It's really not I that big of a deal and she deserved me something so much worse, like Reeve. I thought the part where they made the posters of Alex's Red Ribbon poem was almost exactly like that scene in Mean Girls with Regina George making copies of the Burn Book. Also, the way they switch out Alex's sunscreen for that moisturizer that will give him sunburn, was like when they gave Regina George foot cream for her face. And the way Rennie didn't win Homecoming queen in the end, but her friend Lillia did, just like in Mean Girls. There's probably even more similarities that I'm not picking up on. I liked that it felt so similar to Mean Girls but at the same time, I wish there was more originality with the revenge plotting. I also felt like some of the flashbacks seemed pointless but that's just me.

Well, holy hell I really liked this one. I don't give out 5 stars that often and I usually have a habit of picking apart books with things that I find
Well, holy hell I really liked this one. I don't give out 5 stars that often and I usually have a habit of picking apart books with things that I find annoying, but I really loved this one. Was it perfect? No. But I felt emotionally attached to every single character and that is a rare thing for me. I also cried like ten times, which is also a rare thing for me. I think I felt especially attached to this book because my name is Gabby, and our main character Ashyln has a twin sister named Gabby who dies and the book is about her dealing with the death of her sister. I have never read a book that used my name in it before so this was a new experience for me. Another ironic thing is that my Mom's name is Kim, and Ashlyn and Gabby's mom is also named Kim. Weird right? I think that's so awesome. Me and my sister are really close, we are literally best friends. So this book strung an emotional chord for me with that aspect because I can not imagine living in a world without my sister. I wouldn't want to.
I just read the book "Unteachable" by Leah Raeder in October, which is also a book about a student/teacher relationship and a lot of people compare this book to that one. I have to agree that they are actually really really similar at times. However, I do prefer Maise from Unteachable as a protagonist than Ashlyn, but that doesn't mean I didn't like Ashlyn. I actually really liked Ashyln and I could relate to her a lot.
Things I loved about this book: 1) I absolutely loved Daniel and Ashlyn's obsession with Shakespeare. It was adorable and I love things like that that make a couple unique and memorable. 2) I love the fact that Daniel is in a band called "Romeo's Quest" because that's an adorable Shakespeare reference, and I love how each chapter started with lyrics from his band. That's so cute and creative. And the lyrics are cute as hell. Just look at this one: "Forever always scared me because it never came. I lost all sense of fear when she whispered my name." Is that not the most beautiful thing you've ever read? And also this one: "The world spins faster, yet she slows down time. I don't know how but I need her to always be mine. I lost her due to mistaken roads, I lost her due to secrets untold. I lost her and in turn I lost myself. So someone help me on this quest to find, finding, finding, fining, My Juliet." So cute! Again they throw in the adorable Shakespeare reference! 3) The writing style in this book is absolutely beautiful. At times it had me bawling my eyes out, and at other times I was laughing so hard I was crying. 4) Ryan's character is my favorite and he's absolutely hilarious. Randy had some really funny moments too. 5) I love the fact that this story never got boring for me, something was constantly happening and it never got dull. There was a couple plot twists that I really wasn't expecting and one huge plot twist that had me bawling my eyes out (again.) 6) I love the idea that Gabby wrote her sister a bucket list when she died and with every item she completed on the bucket list, Gabby wrote a letter for Ashlyn and she wasn't allowed to read the letter until she completed the task on the bucket list. This is the thing I will probably remember most about this book because it is so sweet. Gabby knew her sister would be broken and wouldn't want to experience new things ever again, so she wrote a list of things for her to do to bring her back to life, and she knew her sister would do them just so she could read a few of her sisters words. So heart touching. 7) I love how Ashlyn calls things her "golden" when it's her favorite. She says: "Everyone has a golden. It could be anything - a song, a book, a pet, a person. Anything that makes you so happy your insides cry of pure joy. It feels like you're one drugs but it's better cause it's a natural high. I think this book is my golden. And I love Daniel's obsession with the "double double" with everything because it reminds him of his Mom. 8) Because of quotes like this: "You're the reason people believe in tomorrow. You're the voice that scares the shadows away. You're the love that makes me breathe." And the completely relatable quotes like this: "Being a teenager is a curse and a gift. It's the age where fairy tales cease to exist and Santa isn't real, but parts of our heart want to say 'what if..'. It's the time where you feel everything but everyone claims you are just overreacting. You and the guidance office and society throw out strong questions that we teens have no clue ho to answer. Who are we? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Who do we want to be? The most frightening thing to me is picking a study, choosing a life path to follow at such a young, naive age. No one knows who they are at our age. No one has a damn clue where they will be in five years." That's not even the end of that amazing quote but I don't want to spoil anything. I relate to this so much because just last year I was stressed out so badly over trying to figure out what to study and what I wanted to do with my life and I'm so glad that a character has finally had the same problems. I completely agree that it is ridiculous that everyone expects teenagers to figure out what they want to do with their lives. 9) I love how Daniel and Ashlyn have both experienced so much loss in their life and that's what makes them connect in the first place. They literally bring each other back to life, and that's beautiful.
As you can see, I really really loved this book. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough for me. The only complaint about the book that I have is that the ending felt a little rushed, and it was wrapped up in a too "neat and perfect bow" as you would call it, but other than that I really son't have any complaints. This was a beautiful story about love and loss and finding yourself. It's definitely one of my favorite books of the year and of all time.

I think I'm being a little too generous by giving this book 3 stars. After loving Katie Alender's new novel "Famous Last Words" I jumped right into this one expecting to love it, but I had a lot of problems with it. I would recommend this book to a younger audience, like 12 or 13 year olds. But reading this at the age of 19 was difficult for me because these characters reek of immaturity. I thought I could see past this since this is a paranormal book, but it seems like paranormal things only happen occasionally throughout the book, while the main focus of this book is Alexis's hate for cheerleaders and her love for this kid named Carter. The love interest in this story was not only completely unnecessary, but it felt totally forced and I didn't see the chemistry between them at all. It felt like it was added in just for the sake of having romance, even though kit surely wasn't needed. I liked Alexis as a main character but I had a lot of issues with her. Like the way she would act like a complete and total bitch to that cheerleader Megan for absolutely no reason. I just felt like at times Alexis was trying way too hard to be rebellious and act like she hates everyone, so much to the point where it made me dislike her. She's very bitter and cynical about everything.
The aspect I did like in this book was the paranormal/ghost/demon taking over her sister aspect. Even though I think this aspect of the book could also be improved. Some scenes in this book did genuinely freak me out which I appreciated and is probably the only reason why I was so generous with my rating. I liked the way the dolls played a major part in the story because after seeing The Conjuring, dolls just give me the creeps. I've been in a real paranormal mood lately and I don't know if it's because it's fall or what, but I just really wanted to read something paranormal and love it. I just didn't love it that much, it was just ok.
I honestly think if this story focused more on the ghost and paranormal aspect instead of the high school drama and romance, it would have been much better. The ending of this book was so unrealistic it made me laugh. It just seems like if it was really that simple to fix everything, it could have been done so much sooner. Especially that epilogue. It wraps up more like a contemporary than a paranormal, with the final scene of this book being about the romance between Alexis and Carter that I couldn't care less about. I know this is a series, but I don't plan on reading the other books. I was expecting to like this one a lot more than I did. It was just okay.
I completely agree with everything written in this review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

"This is the kind of dream you don't wake up from Henry." Holy shit I loved this book. I picked it up yesterday at Barnes & Noble not really expecting much, I just really wanted a good paranormal mystery thriller and I definitely found what I was looking for. This was much better than I was expecting! This is the first book I've ever read from Katie Alender and it certainly won't be my last. I already picked up Bad Girls Don't Die because I like her writing so much. I read some parts of this book late last night with just my tiny little book light and nothing else and it was scary as hell. I would not recommend reading this book alone in the dark haha.
This book is about a girl named Willa who recently moved to Hollywood because her mom married a big time director named Jonathan. Willa was a very likeable character and for the most part I didn't really have any major problems with her, besides some of her decision making skills that frustrated me a little bit, but other than that I really did like reading from her perspective. She meets "friends" along the way; Reed, Wyatt, and Marnie. The scene where she meets Marnie in the cafeteria felt like a scene straight out of Mean Girls, which I really liked. I almost wonder if the author did this on purpose, since the Hollywood killer is obsessed with recreating scenes from movies. Either way it was really cool. I loved all the creepy paranormal things that took place in the house (and in the pool) and that is what kept me so intrigued during this entire book. I literally devoured this book and finished it in one day because the writing was so gripping and intense, I just had to know what was going on. I love the creepy messages painted on the walls, and the candle light coming on by itself, and the bathtub filling up with water, and rose petals appearing out of nowhere and making paths. It was all very creepy and paranormal, which is exactly what I wanted. But it's also mysterious because you're trying to figure out who the Hollywood killer is, and I never would've guessed it by the way. The end of the story was very suspenseful and it all wrapped up quite nicely.
The characters seriously reminded me of characters from Teen Wolf. Willa is like Lydia (the banshee) who can't really tell the difference between reality and her visions, and she can see and hear things other people can't. Then we have Reed who reminded me a lot of officer Parrish in teen Wolf because they seem to have this underlying forbidden attracting between them but they can't do anything about it because Reed is her Father's assistant and what not. And then we get Wyatt, who in a lot of ways reminds me of Stiles from Teen Wolf. I know he's not nearly as sarcastic as stiles is, but he is really into solving the mystery and his Dad is a police officer, and he really cares about Willa's well being, so that reminded me a lot of Stiles.
On top of loving books I am a huge lover of movies, so I really enjoyed the whole movie aspect of this book (because it plays a huge part.) Willa's stepfather is a director, and all the deaths from the Hollywood killer are from classic movie scenes, and there are tons of movie references in the book, which made it so much fun to read. I was intrigued by the different ways the ghost in her house tried to communicate with her and even more surprised to find out who the ghost is. by the end of the book I still had mixed feelings about Marnie and I feel like her contribution to the story didn't do much for me. Overall, I just really loved this book. I can't wait to read more books from Katie Alender.

Wow I ended up liking this a lot more than I thought I would. I really loved the first 200 pages of this book and I was very intrigued by the story and curious to see where it was going. Then, Nearly did something so shockingly stupid and it pissed me off so much that I set the book down for 3 days and I didn't know if I wanted to finish reading it. Then, I finally decided I should just finish the book, and I'm genuinely impressed with how the rest of the story turned out. This book is mysteriously and suspenseful and everything you would want in a thriller. The only problem I had with this book was Nearly's relationship with Reece. I just didn't like it and he was part of the reason why I didn't want to finish it. He made Nearly act stupid sometimes and he seemed a bit controlling at times. If he wasn't in the story it would've been an easy 5 stars, but he really bugged me.
Nearly has a rough life because she grew up in a trailer park and her Mom is a stripper and her father abandoned them and she's trying to figure out why. I love that her name is Nearly because she was born premature and she barely made it and her parents "nearly" lost her. I love creative names like that that actually mean something. It kind of reminded me of Teen Wolf with the way she would find dead bodies before anyone else (like Lydia in Teen Wolf) which was awesome cause I love that show. I really liked Nearly's relationship with Jeremy and I thought they were cute childhood friends.
The mystery in this book was really well done and it had me guessing till the end. the ending was surprising and I never could have guessed it even if I tried. The reason for the numbers on the wrists of the dead bodies was so cool and I totally wasn't expecting it. Very original idea. I am glad this will be a series because the ending is quite a cliffhanger. Can't wait to read the next one next year! :)

I was given this book as an ARC from the author herself in exchange for an honest review, which was amazing and I greatly appreciate it, however this book just wasn't for me. I wanted to love it and I tried really hard to, but the main character Elizabeth just wasn't very like able, and Marshall wasn't particularly like able either. I just found Elizabeth's actions and behavior made her seem much younger and immature than she intended to be. I found it annoying how she literally couldn't stop thinking about Marshall (a guy she doesn't even really know) while going about things in her daily life. She meets a cute bartender, and in the back of her mind she's wishing it was Marshall instead. I was turned off by it immediately. Then, she runs into Marshall in the park while she's running and Marshall asks her to have drinks that night, and she literally collapses and falls to the ground. I literally cringed at this point. What kind of full grown adult faints over things like this? He's just a guy... I found her actions and thoughts to be quite juvenile and she acted more like a 13 year old than an adult. Then, later on during her and Marshall's first date, even though he calls it a date, she still asks herself "is this really a date or is he just being nice?" and is constantly questioning what his true intentions are. She is so insecure about herself that she questions every girl who gives Marshall a second glance and thinks "maybe that's a girl he slept with" and when he compliments her, she thinks "I know Marshall must be a pro at telling women what they want to hear to get them into bed.." like what? Can she just enjoy an evening with this supposed man of her dreams without questioning his every intention and assuming he only wants her for sex?
I thought Marshall was decent until the end of their first date. He asks her out twice before she finally goes out with him, and then after flirting with her all night and leading her on, he seems to freak out after they kiss and turns suddenly very cold and says "I'm sorry it's just not the best idea for me to date right now." and I'm sitting there like what? Like why was he sooo desperate to get her to go out with him and literally leading her on all night just to tell her that he's not ready to date right now. What an asshole. I would've been like couldn't you have figured this out a little earlier without getting someone else's feelings involved? I just found Elizabeth and Marshall to be equally frustrating.
The one thing I did find myself enjoying was Elizabeth's relationship with her sister, because it reminded me of me and my sister. They seem to be really close just like me and my sister, and they encourage each other to be better people and find happiness which I like.
However, overall I did not find this book to be very enjoyable. But that is just my opinion.

3.5 STARS I am so torn over how to feel about this book. I was really invested in this story and wanted to see what would happen and I finished it in one day. So it's safe to say the writing style is good and gripping and kept me interested. I mean from that very first chapter it has you guessing what could have possibly gone wrong for this to happen? Thi book was very dark and gritty and not very easy to read at times. Unfortunately, Ani's character in general seriously bothered me. I feel bad for her, but I just don't understand her actions and her behavior as a result of what happened to her. Ben was a likeable main character and I like that the book is told from his perspective. We rarely see stories told from the perspective of someone who is in love with the rape victim so I thought that was an interesting perspective. This book talks about the very serious issue of rape and it really captures our society in a nut shell and how we handle our rape victims which is really sad. Especially the way that Ani blames herself because "she was drunk" or "she was asking for it" or "she was dancing slutty". Those are never excuses for rape and yet even she blames herself for it.
I admired Ben's optimism and hope of trying to bring Ani back to her old self but at the same time I was annoyed that he wouldn't just leave her because she had definitely crossed a line. By the end of this story I literally could not stand Ani and I couldn't believe how far she had taken it. I understand that she is going through a rough time but that is not an excuse to treat Ben the way she treated him. At times Ben's character could be selfish too but he had good intentions and he was just trying to do the right thing by staying with her. I thought the beginning of their relationship was so cute, especially with the zoo becoming their "place" and their "mustardy" kisses and how she would always play with his buzz cut head and all that, but then it all went south for them so quickly. I guess it is a realistic take on what can happen to a person after a rape, and that is why I still decided to give this book 3.5 stars even though the characters did generally annoy me. With a rape victim you never know how it's going to affect them for the rest of their lives and even other people in their life.
Overall, it wasn't my favorite book ever but it wasn't bad either. I wish the ending was a little bit more of an ending. It ended so abruptly which was somewhat disappointing (cause I wanted to know what was about to happen next) but I also liked the very last line because it kind of leaves it open to interpretation. I just have a lot of mixed feelings about this book and I'm not quite sure what i feel about it.

This book just wasn't for me. It started off decent enough but it quickly got boring and repetitive. The idea of being kidnapped while dropping off some pizzas is terrifying, but the execution of this story was so bland. I didn't care about Drew, Gabie, or Kayla and I found them all to be a little flat with no personalities. I didn't like the fact that we found out as a reader who the kidnapper was almost right away because it killed the mystery and I began not to care anymore after I already knew who kidnapped her. I also got very annoyed of Gabie's constant whining that it should have been her because they "asked for her" and oh my god we get it. She literally talked about how it should have been her that got kidnapped every other chapter and it was annoying as hell. Even the scenes with the cops seemed really cheesy and they always said the typical cliche cop lines. And Gabie's random romance with Drew seemed kind of pointless to the main story. It was like the author just wanted to add romance for the sake of having romance in this book.
I don't know. I don't have much else to say about this book. All the characters were very forgettable and the plot wasn't as interesting as I wanted it to be.

I was not a huge fan of this one. I seem to be having a lot of bad luck with picking books lately cause I can't seem to find any that I like. Sure, this book sounds like it would be cool from the description, but there's not much more to it. The biggest problem with this book is it's characters. None of them are likeable or relatable and I found them all to be extremely annoying at one point or another. Britt is an immature girl who is so in "love" with her ex Calvin even though he treats her like shit, and she changes her mind about him every five minutes. She thinks about Calvin at inappropriate times (like when her life is at risk but no big deal) and the flashbacks of her relationship with Calvin seemed completely unnecessary and like filler. Korbie is who Britt considers her best friend but most of the time it seems like they don't even like each other. Korbie literally keeps a diary where she writes down all the reasons why she's better than Britt and they seem to be constantly competing with each other. I don't know about you, but that is not the kind of friendship I want.
A lot of scenes in this story doesn't even make any sense to me. For one thing, when Britt and Korbie get trapped in the storm, they decide to ditch their car and ditch all the things they will need to survive and go wander out into the open searching for shelter. That sounds like an easy way to get killed to me. Where is their logic? Why would you ever abandon the car and abandon all the things you'll need to survive like food and water. Britt and Korbie's decisions were extremely idiotic and naive. Korbie annoyed me so much as a character too because she had no respect for her boyfriend. She immediately wants to hook up with one of the men who let them stay at their cabin because "her boyfriend is leaving for college this year anyway so who cares". I really dislike unfaithful cheaters. Britt constantly changes her feelings towards Shaun (literally almost every page) because one minute she's saying he's shady and unfriendly but then the next minute she acts like she wants to kiss him. I didn't like Shaun or Mason and I found them both to be obnoxious and rude and over the top. I don't understand why they even needed Britt to "get off the mountain" because didn't they just make their way to the mountain only a few hours ago? Like how do they not know how to get off the mountain? And also, Britt supposedly left her car in the snow and hiked for over an hour to their cabin, and yet Mason is easily able to find it and make his way back to the cabin..... And yet he still needs Britt to make his way off the mountain even thought he was easily able to find the abandoned car... Makes perfect sense.
Also, a little later in the book when Britt gets attacked by a wolverine.. I was freaking laughing because I was like wtf just happened. This book could've been a lot better if it wasn't for the annoying unlikeable characters and idiotic decisions.

Holy crap. I will admit that I didn't like this book as much as I liked The Maze Runner, but I think that's only because I liked the idea of the maze better than the desert. With that being said, this book had the same level of suspense and the same chemistry between the characters which I really really liked. I really adore Thomas and his relationship with Minho and Newt. I even liked the introduction of new characters like Jorge and Brenda and Aris. However, Teresa's character was pissing me off throughout this entire book. Right up until the very last page of this book I wasn't sure when Teresa was being real or fake and it was so frustrating. I thought I had actually liked Teresa in The Maze Runner but now I'm not sure. I actually liked Brenda and Thomas.
Right from the beginning of this book it starts with the same mystery and suspense that The Maze Runner had, which I really appreciated. The Gladers quickly discover that Teresa is gone and has been replaced with a boy named Aris who was in the maze with a bunch of girls and who experienced almost exactly the same things as the Gladers did. I thought this was such a cool twist, especially when they find the tattoos on their backs and find out that Thomas's tattoo says to be killed by group B. James Dashner is amazing at creating this feeling of suspense in his novels, and that's the main reason why I loved this book so much. I did have a few problems with Thomas throughout the book but no character is perfect by any means, and it mostly had to do with his undying love and trust for Teresa. I also thought the use of the cranks throughout the story was really cool, and it kind of reminded me of the baggers in the book "Dark inside" by Jeyn Roberts. The cranks were scary and creepy just as the grievers were in The Maze Runner.
Overall, this book was really great. The ending confused me a lot so I'm curious to see where the next book goes.

I actually liked this a lot more than I thought I would, even though I didn't really care for the ending. Don't get me wrong, in the last 50 pages of this book I was freaking out and I was so shocked and I couldn't believe it. I thought I had predicted who the killer was from the beginning and I was so wrong. But I was somewhat disappointed in the last 10 pages. Meg was a like able main character because she's smart and clever and she's a writer. I was intrigued by her relationship with T.J. throughout most of the book. I loved all the parts with the diary and I thought all those scenes were so intense. Also how whenever someone died, there would be a red slash on the wall, I thought that made it very intense and exciting. The idea of this story reminds me of the tv show Whodunnit, and a little bit like Pretty Little Liars (with the whole trying to figure out who the killer is aspect), and also a little bit like the book Shadowlands by Kate Brian.
Overall, I really did enjoy this book. Even though I had a few problems with it, it was very suspenseful and intense and I couldn't put it down obviously cause I finished it in one day.
MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW I honestly believed throughout the entire book that the killer was either T.J. or Minnie. It bothered me that Meg never questioned either of them, at least not until the very end. I was so shocked that the killer was Ben, I couldn't believe it. I never saw that coming. I thought it was crazy how all of the deaths had to do with ways they "betrayed" Claire and when Ben revealed that he was actually his sister it all made sense and I was so shocked. I was just disappointed in the ending because of course T.J. was still alive after Meg shot him. And Meg didn't really freak out the way I wanted her to when Minnie died. I mean shit if my best friend of years got shit with an arrow right in front of me and was murdered, my entire world would stop and I wouldn't be able to function, but Meg seems to accept it right away and never really freaks out the way I was expecting her too. Not to mention, Minnie as a character towards the end became such an asshole and I was so annoyed with her. It was so rude of Minnie to call Meg selfish when Meg was always there for her and asking her if she took her meds and stuff like that, Meg was anything but selfish. Another thing that bothered me about the ending was when Meg said "All my friends are dead but at least this brought me and T.J. together." I was just like are you serious? All of your friends are dead and this experience should leave Meg absolutely mortified and traumatized and the last thing she should be thinking about is how her and T.J. can finally be together. That was frustrating.

So I just finished my reread of this book, and while I still loved some of this book, I disliked some of it unfortunately. I first read this book five years ago, and I think my reading tastes have changed a little since I last read this. This book has absolutely gorgeous writing, as you can see from some quotes below from the first time I read it. It has some of my favorite book quotes of all time, but unfortunately I didn't really connect with the characters as much this time around. I love the fact that these two charters are obsessed with movies and that he is her film teacher and she's going to school for film. But other than that I thought Maise was kind of a bratty, obnoxious teenager most of the time. And I feel like this couple just gets together right away and then it's just sex scene after sex scene with no real plot happening. Of course there's the looming threat and forbidden aspect of the student/teacher romance, but besides that there's not much else happening. It makes me sad that I didn't enjoy this as much the second time because this was a five-star all time favorite book of mine when I first read it, and now I think this book is okay. I think the main reason why I loved it so much the first time I read it is because of the writing and the movie obsessed characters, but now that I went into it already knowing that and expecting it to be great I found the characters and story to be kind of boring.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: "We have no age. We exist outside of time. We're timeless." Oh my gosh aslkjalksda. This book was amazing. This is the 2nd student/teacher relationship novel I've ever read and I am so impressed. Maise is extremely likeable and surprisingly mature, strong headed, smart, funny and witty and I loved reading from her point of view. There's something really genuine about the way she handles things. I knew I would love this story from this quote in the very first chapter:
"I'm not going to do the whole roller coaster/falling in love metaphor. I didn't fall in love with him up there. Maybe I fell in love with the idea of love, but I'm a teenage girl. This morning I fell in love with raspberry jam and a puppy in a tiny raincoat. I'm not exactly Earth's top authority on the subject. But when we crested the first peak and the world sprawled beneath us like a tangled-up string of Christmas lights and then we plunged toward it at lightspeed, the guy and I reached for each other's hands spontaneously and simultaneously. And I felt something I've never felt before. You can call it love, or you can call it freefall. They're pretty much the same thing." [image]
This book is written so lyrically and beautifully, I fell in love with it immediately. I like the fact that she met Evan at a carnival before the school year started so it didn't seem completely forbidden. I enjoyed their relationship so much and I really think they're adorable together. The age difference didn't phase me one bit. I also like that their relationship seemed realistic and that they were extremely careful (for the most part). I liked Wesley and thought he made a perfect best friend character to Maise. I liked reading about the scenes between Maise and her awful druggie mother, and I couldn't believe the shit her Mom put her through. Maise was forced to be the parent with her Mother, which is really sad, but it also made her character really deep and mature for her age, which is probably the reason why Evan liked her so much. I love how Evan would say things like "I can't hold on to you. You're like that shooting star. Just a trail of fire in my hands." I also love the fact that he is her film teacher, and it's ironic cause I'm actually taking a film studies class at my college right now so it couldn't have been better timing for me to read it. I understood every single movie reference thanks to that class. Maise also mentions Donnie Darko and I got so excited because that's one of my favorite movies of all time!
"It seems like the whole world has figured out how to be happy, but no one's letting me in on the secret."
Hiyam was the perfect "mean girl" that I loved to hate. The ending of this book was hard to predict and I was genuinely surprised several times throughout the last few chapters. Not only is this book funny, but it's also sexy, and charming, and intense, and dramatic, which are all qualities that I love in books. I also like how she wrote some scenes using "fast forward" and then she'd describe what happened that day very briefly, then she'd say "press play" and it would start her scenes with Evan again. Then she would say "faster" and it would briefly describe the last few weeks in motel rooms with him, then it would "press play" again. I just thought that was a cute and creative style of writing.
"That's all life is. Breathing in, breathing out. The space between two breaths.."
I could go on and on with quotes that I highlighted as I was reading. I loved the writing style so much. I love that it was written in past tense, like for example when she said "and we lived happily ever after... until the next morning." It's all written as if she is telling you this story years after it took place which I really loved. Also, Evan's character was just really adorable and sweet and caring, and also very sexy all at the same time. He's the ideal male love interest and even though he has a dark past of his own, he doesn't let it affect him in the present, which I really admire. I especially love when Evan says:
"For a long time before I met you, I felt my life was this kind of test. I was in deep,cold water, swimming for shore, and my arms were getting tired, my skin numb. On the shore was everything I thought I wanted: a better job, a house, a family. But I could barely keep my head above water. Eventually I stopped seeing the shore, Only cold dark blue, in all directions. I know it's cliche, but when I met you, my eyes opened. I looked around, and realized that I could stand up whenever I wanted. There was firm ground underneath my feet. That shore in the distance was an illusion. I was already somewhere beautiful." [image]
The ending might seem cheesy to other people but I thought it was absolutely perfect. (view spoiler)[I love the way it ending like a movie. It's so creative and unique and I fucking love it. It says: "The camera zooms in on the shine of an eye, the tremulous quiver of a lip. He's smiling but his eyes are wet. She's crying but her heart is infinitely light. Background noise recedes. Music fades in, swelling. Spontaneously and simultaneously, they reach for each other's hands." I'm a lover of movies and I personally think this was the best possible way to end this story. I absolutely adore this ending. (hide spoiler)] I really, really loved this one. Way more than I was expecting to. I'm adding it to my all time favorites. I will read anything this author writes.

3.5 STARS This one was very interesting and unlike anything I've ever read before. I was a bit disappointed just because I was expecting to love it, and I only liked it. When it comes to Andrew Smith, his books are always a hit or miss with me. For example, I loved Winger and it's one of my favorite books form this year. But I tried reading Grasshopper Jungle and Stick and I put it down after the first 100 pages due to lose of interest. I didn't know what to expect with this book, but I expected it to be better. Andrew Smith books are known to be pretty weird and random so I should ave expected this.
Finn Easton is a very unique character. Him and his Mother were crushed by a dead horse that fell out of the sky when he was a kid and now he has this odd looking scar on his back, and his father wrote a novel called the Lazarus Doors and Finn counts everything in miles instead of minutes because to him "distance is more important than time". And now due to the horse incident, he often has seizures, and he knows he is going to have a seizure when he can smell flowers. At first, I really loved his unique way of viewing the world with his "twenty miles per second" and how he would always talk about how atoms are released into the world after you die and things like that. But then after endless chapters of the same thing, it began to annoy me. Cade Hernandez is hilarious at time, but sometimes he comes off very rude and immature and obnoxious. And with all the constant talk about condoms and boners, it just got old to me after a while. But, I will admit, some of the things Cade's character said literally made me laugh out loud. They have a strange sense of humor, but so do I. Julia Bishop was a likeable character, even though there was nothing significant about her that I will remember about this book.
The first 100 pages of this book were amazing and I thought for sure this would be one of my favorite books of the year, and then the middle seemed to slow down a lot and it felt like nothing happened in the story. It didn't get good again till about the last 50 pages, then I was actually interested in the story again. Twenty miles. Twenty miles. Another thing that got somewhat annoying to me was how Finn would constantly complain that he was "trapped in his Father's book" because he said it nearly every single chapter and it was repetitive. I felt really bad for Finn with his unexpected seizures and all, and I've never actually read about an epileptic character before, so it was new for me. I felt especially bad with how Julia found him towards the beginning of the book after he had a seizure and was passed out on the living room floor and he pissed his pants. That was sad. It's scenes like that that will make this book stand out from the rest in my head. I also like the fact that he says "100 sideways miles" probably one hundred times in this novel. (Or at least I hope he says it exactly 100 times cause that would be ironic and awesome). I think it's cool when authors use the book title in the book often.
However, some scenes towards the middle of this book seemed completely pointless to me to the overall story. Especially how Finn claimed he saw the two little girls who died in the dam, and all that historical background and information about the dam that was built in their city in the 1900's seemed completely unnecessary. I couldn't care less about the dam and he described the dam and the history behind it for pages. Not only that, but later in the book with the abandoned prison scenes. That also felt like filler to me and it wasn't needed in the story. Maybe I'm over analyzing everything but I was so bored during those scenes and the book could have done without them.
Overall, I did enjoy this book, just not as much as I was expecting to. The cover for this book is so gorgeous though, so that gives this book bonus points.

Holy crap. This was one of the saddest and most depressing stories I have read all year. I wasn't prepared for the amount of sadness I would feel and tears I would cry. This story, on the surface, might seem like just another story about a teen struggling, but this is very much a story about family, and grief, and hope, and losing yourself, and finding yourself again.
Rowan is only 15 years old throughout this story, and at that age, I can't imagine going through everything she goes through. My Dad and I are best friends, and I can't imagine how awful it would be to see him go through such a horrible depression the way her Father did. Just like Rowan, I've always pictured my Father very strong and protective and would never do anything to hurt me, and so I could never imagine that idea of him changing so much, and I can see why Rowan acted out and behaved the way she did. When you're a 15 year old, you rely on your parents for support and love and if they aren't 100% there for you, I can't imagine that that must be like.
Laura Weiss has such a beautiful and realistic writing style because these characters and their feelings felt so real, like these were real life people, and that's the best aspect about this story. For a moment I wondered if this was a true story because the emotions and thoughts of the characters were so raw and felt so real. I feel like this is the perfect example of what grieving is like, and I know everyone goes through it differently, and goes through different stages at different times, but I feel like I would handle it in a very similar way as Rowan and her mother, Rachel did.
The ripple effect is truly hard to believe and something I never give much thought to, but it's so crazy. All the what ifs. The decision of a young kid to commit suicide with his infant child in hand, and Rowan's father trying to save them literally impacted so many lives. With suicide, you never really know how this is going to affect peoples lives. People only consider how it's going to affect their families, but that young boy's suicide affected the police officer who tried to save him, and sent him into a horrible depression, and that affected the police officers entire family. The ripple effect. I just find it amazing that you never really know how your decisions affect people until it's too late.
Also, Eli was an incredible character and I absolutely loved him. Not only was he understanding, but he was very likable, and when Rowan needed him most he was there, and when she needed space, he didn't judge her. Nadia, Rowan's best friend was a selfish asshole and at times in this story I really wanted to punch her in the face. She didn't understand what Rowan was going through and she never took the time to. Even before everything happened, she put her boyfriend before Rowan every single time and I can't stand girls like that. I know from my own experiences how much it sucks when your best and only friend puts her boyfriends needs and opinions ahead of yours. I loved the scenes with Eva, who was Rowan's boss at the dry cleaning store she worked at, because she was so adorable and reminded me of Betty White. Even Rowan's mother, Rachel was an extremely developed character and seeing her go through the stages of grief and loss was really moving. I have never read a story that was so honest before, and it honestly just gives me hope. I have this amazing feeling that everything will be okay, even if everything goes terribly wrong. Time and love heals almost everything.

I started this book late last night and finished it early this morning. I know this book i over 10 years old but I had never gotten around to reading it and it was just sitting on my bookshelf so i thought why not just read it? I've read tons on Nicholas Sparks books and I've always been a fan of his work. This was not my favorite book from him to be honest, but I still did enjoy it. the one thing that does irritate me is that all of his books include the same formula: instalove that is extremely passionate, tragedy, and North Carolina. This one is no different, which was slightly disappointing for me because I can only read so many books with this kind of writing before it gets old. I've read probably 10-15 books from him now, and yes, most of them are the same story but the characters are all just slightly different.
I like Adrienne and Paul, and even though their relationship came out of nowhere I still thought they were adorable. I did however find it pretty cheesy that they were claiming their love for each other and saying "you're the best thing that's ever happened to me" merely a few days after meeting, but that's Nicholas Sparks for you. I didn't really see a point to all the parts about Robert and his need to see Paul and tell him about his wife, I mean I just thought it was unnecessary drama and didn't really have anything to do with the story.
Overall, this book was good, but it wasn't something I will remember for the rest of my life. It isn't necessarily a book I would recommend either. Maybe if you have free time, but I would strongly suggest his other books over this one.

This book was so adorable. I loved all the creativity that went into every story and even though I didn't understand the meaning behind some of them, I still appreciate all the cut little stories in this book. My favorites are the "edge of the universe" drawing, and the "We must hide find ourselves in fiction." I also love the one that says "I lost you when you left me to find yourself" because it's easy to relate to. I didn't think i could love Joseph Gordon-Levitt anymore than I already do, but I was proved wrong. This is the first graphic novel I have ever read, and I really enjoyed it. Very cute book.

"Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human." Holy asjkdhkajhsdk. I don't even know how to properly review this book because it was just so awesome. The idea of this story being about super villains as opposed to super heroes is what had me interested right away. I had no idea how twisted and crazy and cruel these characters could be! I am so impressed with this story because it's truly magnificent. It has all the elements that make a story amazing: interesting and unique characters, suspenseful writing that keeps you turning the pages, an intriguing opening chapter, and a shocking ending. Right from the beginning with the graveyard scene I was immediately curious and intrigued and it was a very mysterious introduction to the story which I loved. I also like how the story is told from when Eli and Victor are in college, but also the chapters are constantly alternating to the present. Victor and Eli experience so much character development throughout this story and it was amazing to watch it unfold. Their hunger for power and control was constantly growing, and their bitterness and hatred towards one another got more and more intense with every chapter. They desperately wanted revenge. I was so entranced by the writing and everything about this story really.
This story is very much about discovering the fine line between heroes and villains and questioning what exactly makes someone a villain or a hero. And I love all the morals and ideas that come with this because it's very rare to find a book that dives so deep into this topic. Victor and Eli were both so twisted and cruel in their own ways, but was one worse than the other? It's hard to say. But that's why I really loved this book because it promotes discussion and not everyone is going to agree on who was worse and who was slightly better. I also really loved Sydney and Serena as side characters because their entire story and background was just as interesting and intense as Victor and Eli. It was sad to watch them fall apart as sisters just because Eli led them to believe they weren't the same people they used to be. Victor is in some ways like a Walter White character in my eyes. He is an evil genius who you still tend to like and root for because we are reading the book from his perspective and we see some good in him. Eli is narcissistic and selfish and thinks God has given him his powers to eliminate all other EO's (even though I believe he only does this because he is conceited and wants to be the only EO left). I also loved diving into Mitch's background with this curse and his past in prison, and I really enjoyed his character too. This is one of the most unique stories I have ever read and I am so fascinated by everything about it. The last 50 pages were so suspenseful as it builds up to this final scene where you're unsure of what's going to happen and it was just amazing! The book continued to shock me throughout the entire story and I was never able to predict any plot points. And the fact that each EO had a unique ability was really cool. I love all the research that went into discovering the EO's, and how it all seemed really technical and science-y, and it never came off as cheesy or unrealistic. It was like watching a marvel superhero movie unfold, but from the villains perspective (and there really weren't any superheroes). I also really appreciate the little things, like the double V's in Victor Vale and the double E's in Eli Ever; I don't think it's a coincidence that the authors initials are V.E. Schwab, and I just thought that was a really cool and creative touch. This book simply reminded me why I love reading.
I think it's safe to say that this book is full of surprises and twists and turns that will constantly keep you guessing. Its easily one of my favorite books of the year, and arguably of all time. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did, but I am so impressed.

This book was very cute. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did, and the more I think back on the story, the more I realize how much I liked it. Caymen was a decent main character, even though I thought sometimes she was way too sarcastic and it got annoying. And I like Xander way more than I was expecting too. I usually can't stand "rich guy" characters, but Xander was very charming and respectful and I really enjoyed his character. Although this story does suffer from some cliche lines like "I like you because you treat me normal and not like I'm rich" and some stereotypical characters like the boys Mason and Henry in a band, I thought the story was surprisingly good. However, sometimes Caymen was quick to judge and she didn't give people the chance to explain, she just assumed things and got pissed off which was frustrating to read.
My favorite part of this story was the career days because it was such a cute and unique idea for a story and I've never read anything like that before. I loved how she was going to show him The Shining even though he was working with hotel and he didn't know what redrum was. Some parts literaly made me laugh out loud, like when Xander is explaining to her that he is getting "groomed to take over the business just like her" and she says "yeah, we're practically twins." I was laughing so hard and I'm not even completely sure why, but I found it hilarious. And when Xander is like "You thought I stashed the doll in my coat?", and Caymen says "If your ego fits in there anything is possible." Those were memorable moments where I was laughing really hard. This book also has some memorable quotes like: "I don't know how I existed without him because his energy feels like my sustaining force in this moment." and "Feelings can be the most costly thing in the universe." and "I think unhappiness comes from unfilled expectations."
I will admit, some of the plot twists threw me at the end because I was not expecting it at all. I was genuinely surprised and intrigued by how drama filled the ending got. However, I was kind of sad with the way it ended because it was so abrupt. It was a cute ending, but I felt like just on more chapter to wrap up everything would've been perfect. Overall, I enjoyed The Distance Between Us a lot more than I was expecting, and it got better and better as I continued reading. :)
