TEARDROP By Lauren Kate

Meh.

From the overly photo shopped cover this book, the cheesy characters, the predictable love triangle, and the confusing premise this book is a collection of random and incoherent thought that where easy to read fast, but hard to understand.

Something I didn't understand was the whole thing with Eureka not being able to cry. What? was I the only one to find this a little weird?? I didn't really get what happened if she did cry either. I thing it had something to do with her drowning the entire world, butt I don't see how that would be possible because she would have to cry for an awfully long time. I also didn't understand how this curse was set onto her. We didn't really get that much of an ending to the book of love, so we didn't learn about what happened to the woman whose heart was broken, bur maybe (hopefully) that will be explained in book two?

the characters where so predicable it became annoying. I can read about cliches and everything and even end up liking some, but these characters where cookie cutters. Brooks was the "childhood best friend" who had always had been in love with the main character, but she somehow was oblivious to the whole thing even though you could clearly tell since the first moment he was introduced. Eureka was the female lead who had something terrible happen to her and was having a mental/emotional breakdown which made her fell misunderstood and like the world owed her something, but magically (as always) the mysterious knight in shinning armor comes and rescues her (more like crashes into her), tells her about her secret powers while revealing that he is supposed to be her enemy while he declared his undying love for her. I'm not even go into the other characters because I fell these few examples give you an idea about the rest of them.

I just really need to find a good book to read.
Peace out.

GLOW BY Amy kathleen Ryan

Ugh. That pretty much all I have to say for this book.

I have looked up the reviews on goodreads and I am seeing that almost everyone is raving about this book, but somehow I just cant connect with their words or with this book in general. the story was dry, boring, and a somewhat copy of across the universe. I am aware that this came out before across the universe, but since I read the series before, my view on things was altered.

The premise of the book had allot of potential with the whole traveling through space, kidnapping girls,infertility, cults premise to it, but I just feel that the characters and the writing made it fall short. The writing I could not connect with at all. It was just too bland and "cookie cutter" I don't know if I make sense by saying this but that's what it felt like reading it. Like if it was not original. I don't know how to explain this but just go with it.

The characters where a major problem because there where just mostly annoying. i had a major problem with Waverly because I could feel the author trying to make her a "Katniss" type character, but was failing miserably because she just came off as pretentious and utterly annoying. I had the most problems with her at the end when she returns from the ship and basically falls into Kierans arms and then the next day she hates him and starts accusing him of being the enemy and comparing him to Anne just because he believes in god. She had no idea what the boys had been through in those five months that the girls where gone and what Kieran had to endure and sacrifice for the other boys, so she should not be judging him and accusing him of being an extremist. Don't even get me started on Seth. Ugh. Darkly brilliant? more like crazy psychopath! I just don't see what makes him the "love interest" Waverly is attracted to some really weird stuff and she doesn't even think of him on the ship! the entire time she is thinking about Kieran, but the second she returns to her home ship shes all like "where is Seth?" It doesn't make sense

I just really didn't like this book...sorry

FANGIRL By Rainbow Rowell

First off, best. name. ever. RAINBOWWWWW! I love it.

I am going to start off this review saying that Cath is by far the most relatable female character that I think I have ever read. She does not leave her room, she was dangerously obsessed with fictional characters, she was shy, she was awkward, and a good time for her meant reading fan fiction. Basically Rainbow Rowell was picturing me when she created Cath. Awkward and antisocial. I just wish the ending to my story is a s good as Cath's.

My favorite character in this novel (by far) is Levi.  Because of two simple things, that are probably cliche, but as we book reviewers like to say is- he was brilliantly flawed. He was so gullible, adorable, happy. stupid, sweet (the list goes on) college boy, and every time Rainbow made him smile I just wanted to tackle him into a giant bear hug because his fictional smiles where heaven.

The rest of the character in this book where also so relatable, real, and believably flawed in so many ways that I had a love/hate relationship because like I said they where real, so they where not perfect, and that in turn made them perfect.

The story line was light and funny which made it a very quick and easy read, but there where also those moments of heartbreak and pure frustration, but everything gets worked out in the end which makes all of the stress worth while.

This is a book for all ages and all emotions because it a feel good book, so run to your library and fangirl about fangirl with me!!

FAKING NORMAL By Courtney C. Stevens

This book made me feel all warm and fuzzy even though the subject matter was far from warm and fuzzy, but I couldn't help the feeling.

This book is just so powerful in many ways. It treats allot o f very difficult and serious topics so  and it portrays them to the point I believe what is going on to the point where I was scared for the characters and what would happen next.
The way Courtney describes these wonderful characters, and how she makes them react to the situations that they are forced to be in makes them so real and genuine as if they jumped out of the page from time to time which could be both a good thing and a bad thing at times.

Probably my favorite thing about the book was the characters flaws. I know this sounds weird, but I was very interested when I started noticing that nobody in this entire book had a easy life, or how each of them dealt with their issues "their coping skills" especially with Alexi and Bodee

My only issues with this book would have to be the harmless but ever so present slut shaming that goes through out the book. I guess that all of us girl sometimes have thoughts about other people that we shouldn't have, but the three friends in this book where constantly making comments about other girls in their school and even to themselves. It didn't ruin the book for me, but its was something that put me off.

Faking normal is one of those coming o age books that will make you laugh, cry, and literally die with the amount of suspense and mystery surrounding the whole "incident" which will keep you reading until the very en, so that you find out who the real bad guy is.

I wish every girl that goes through something like this finds their own Bodee Lennox.

THRONE OF GLASS By Sarah J. Maas

I liked this way more than I thought I would, and I am glad.

Our story starts off by introducing a very bad ass female assassin named Calaena who is very full of herself, but not in a way that will make you dislike her. In fact, it made me like her even more! I did get to question all of her bragging because she doesn't really "fight" with anyone until the middle of the book, but rest assured that all that she says is not lies. As we get to read more about Calaena, and know more about her back story we immediately see that there is more to her than just her looks and her skills for assassination. Behind all of the walls that she has built to protect herself lies a witty, charismatic, caring girl who just has a hard time showing all of these amazing characteristic about her because she is too busy battling her own inner demons.
She is so easy and fun to read about that I just liked her instantly.

The supposedly "love" interests in this book are (DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT LIKE SPOILERS) the crown prince Dorian and the head of the guard Chaol. I personally rutted more for Chaol, but Dorian was the one getting the entire attention of Calaena throughout the entire book. It was like she was oblivious to the fact that Chaol liked her too. the reason I said "love interests" was because even though this book has some lovey-dovey aspects to it, it is in no way shape or from a romance novel. The novel focused more on the mystery, that I will not reveal, and the action filled pages that made me read at a incredible lightning speed.

There where some unanswered question in this book, but I assume we will find the answers lying in the second book, so I am really looking forward to learning more about the back story to the novel and getting to know more about Calaena's and Dorian's past lovers which are mentioned quite allot in the book.

THE CHOSEN By Celie Thompson

I will admit that the start of this book, maybe well into the middle, was a little bit slow and dull, but the ending was very unexpected and pleasing which I really enjoyed. Which contributed largely to me deciding that this is my favorite out of the two apart from the insane amount of character development.

The conclusion of the story is much as anyone could have predicted.  Chloe had more boy troubles, ends up with Bryan, unexpected relationships form (which I would have liked to see more of), Chloe has more assassins try to kill her, but all in all she ends up saving the pride and creating temporary peace between the Mai and The Order, but the reason that this was my favorite part out of the three was the way Celia made all of these things come together and be resolved. Even if it was somewhat cheesy.

I really liked the relationships in this book because apart from ones becoming "permanent or definite" new, unexpected ones form as well which was quite fun. I really liked Amy and Alyec's relationship because Celia gave little hints about it forming, since Amy and Paul's relationship was crumbling, but you didn't think much about it at first since Chloe and Alyec where still a thing plus the whole Mai cant be with humans thing, but after Chloe proves that the "curse" was lifted, when she saved two humans, by kissing Brian, the sudden possibility of a Amy/Alyec relationship popped into my head and wouldn't disappear. I kinda screamed when they finally kissed because it was so sudden, and it was also after Chloe revealed that she had spent the night with Bryan which led e to believe Alyec would do something like start a fight or something, but the fact that he kissed Amy instead was pleasing. I don't think hr did it because he wanted to get back at Chloe. I simply think he kissed Amy because he had always liked her, bu had always thought that he could not be with her.

I really liked to see Chloe develop throughout the book, like I said the beginning was quite slow, but literally in the last chapter we can clearly see the true extent of Chloe's development. She is kind, compassionate, is willing to make peace (even if it means her death), and she also becomes wiser with her decisions. Which is a miracle because she used to be pretty reckless.

This book was an okay conclusion to the series. Even though it kinda leaves you hanging and turning the pages to see if there is either a next chapter, or a release date for a next book.

THE CHOSEN:THE CHOSEN

THE STOLEN By Celia Thomson

The story immediately picks up where it left off in the first book " THE FALLEN " and picks up the pace as Chloe struggles to adapt to Brian's betrayal, being a feline, her friends, and the San Francisco pride. In this book we get to know more about the history of the Mai and The Order which provides valuable insight and answer some of the questions that cam up in the first book.

Chloe develops allot in this book because of the situations she finds herself in. She is forced to live with stranger (of her own king) for her own "protection" and has to learn the hard way who to trust, to communicate with her loved ones and worry about protecting them, battle over her feelings for both Brian and Alyec all while trying to learn how to use her "powers". Chloe is also a very relatable character because of her wittiness/sassy attitude, her insane amounts of loyalty and protectiveness toward her loved ones,discovering new astonishing secrets about her destiny and past, her desire to have a "normal" life, and her mood swings (which I can totally relate to). Chloe overall is just a bad ass character.

As for all of the "relationships" in this book (I put " because there are so many fake ones and soon to be ones that its hard to count them all) they either take their time developing *cough* Alyec and Chloe *cough* or stay the same like Amy and Paul or are simply awkward and complicated like Chloe and Brian. I really don't understand Chloe and Brian's relationship because on top of the fact that they are on opposing teams and have feelings for each other it is literally physically impossible and deadly for them to be together, but they still cant seem to stay away from each other for long. Is this true love? I don't know, but I will read the third book to see what happens.

I will say that the book are soooo not what I expected from watching the TV series. There are unique and different in almost every aspect which I am liking so far. If you where a fan of the show and want to know the REAL story of Chloe King I highly suggest picking these up, but with and open mind.
