Suckerz...

WARNING: Slight spoiler! Not a big one, but slightly revealing.

The thing that I liked the most about this book is the cover. It's pretty. What I didn't like was everything else. At first, I was actually really liking the book. The characters were interesting and the plot intrigued me. I wanted to know what would happen next. Then every went downhill from there.

Willow wanted to be a cheerleader and therefore kicked Carlie out of the popular group (without trying). Yeah I know Willow didn't kick her out, but she wasn't upset about it either. In fact she was happy because she had "girl friends". That totally gave her negative points right there. Another thing that turned me off was the fact that she's now dating her "uncle". Sure he's not her real uncle, but from the description (because they don't give an age) he sound like he's old. And she tries to rectify it like two chapters later by saying he shaved and looked so much younger! Which he then counters with, he physically grows slow.

So basically that he won't look old until he's really old. And I get age difference, I mean twilight is one of my favorite books and Edward is freaking 200 years old. But the difference is when he became a vampire, he was 17. Putting him on the same level as Bella, sort of. Here they are nowhere near the same age!! So that bugged me to no end and to make matters worse, they made things kinda predictable.

I didn't finish the book, but I bet you Gage is Mikaul (I think that's how you spell it). And really I just didn't understand why Willow thought Mikaul would want to kill her. She explained it, but I thought her reason was kinda stupid. Basically, I thought she was whiny, unrealistic, and very annoying. I sound like a mean person, but I'm not going to lie about how I feel. This book just wasn't for me, but hopefully it can be for others. So read it...I dare you.

Oh. My. Butterscotch!

So there was some good things and bad things about this book. Let's start with the good! I Want It That Way by Anne Aguirre, wasn't bad. It was in fact really good. I liked all of the characters and they were, for the most part, well developed. I liked how great they were together and liked how the main character cared for everyone. I also liked her relationship with Ty and Sam. Especially SAM! He was so cute and the dinosaur jokes were so adorible! I loved it!!

I also thought that this book was very original in it's own way. Sure it was like a lot of other romances. Girl falls in love with broken boy...but it had it's own spin. And didn't really repeat other situations.

Of course, like any book, it had faults. I felt like a lot of the book was really rushed. I didn't feel like it was well-paced. One minute she's doing something and the next she's doing something else. Most of the time I don't mind a fast paced story, but it got confusing after a while. Mostly because at some scenes, I didn't know what was going on.

Another thing is the fact that I didn't understand the dialogue. I don't know if it was just me, but I felt like I didn't know who was talking in some scenes of the book. Thank goodness, it wasn't in the entire book, but in a lot of it. And if it was just me...then I blame it on tiredness. lol

overall this was a pretty good read! And the characters were funny, refreshing, and light. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to read something awesome! So read it...I dare you.

Monday Mocha Madness!

This Monday I am going to review a book that made me have a mixture of emotions. It's called Full Measures by Rebecca Yarros.

When I first saw this book, I contemplated very hard about actually reading it. It usually isn't my type. I don't really like anything with the army, mostly for the same reasons that Ember (the main character) hates it (only I've never actually lost a person to war). I guess I should really look up to our army more because of what they do for us, but their death is something that I hate. They die and even if I don't know them it still makes me sad. Of course, I have family -like my grandfather- who was enlisted as a luitenant. So I understand Ember's pov sorta. Everything about this book had me wrapped up with emotion like a wrapped up Christmas present. One moment I am grieving along with Ember and the next I'm laughing at something Josh said. This book made me feel (trust me I was crying like a baby during every chapter) unconditionally slap happy. And it's not an easy thing to do, making a reader feel exactly what the characters are feeling. Somehow this author literally has me wondering what happens next!! I skipped out on my homework just to finish! All of the characters were amazingly written and all had their own personalities. To be honest, it's a book like this (so emotional that you're bound to it) that proves that magic in this world exists...

So I dare you to read it! You won't regret it, hopefully.
