An overall good read...took a bit of time to get used to the writing style so couldn't get into the book during the first story but after that I got more involved in the stories. I found it to be a little too 'fluffy' for me, however, I thought the stories were a good idea. So a good light read.

My mom gave me this book, shortly after I lost my beagle baby to cancer. It's a very nice little book for a keepsake. It has a presentation page, and a nice hardcover. The content is simple, but inspiring. I have it four stars because I would have liked it to have some colored pictures, or something throughout the book. 
  
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a pretty intensive mystery, a little more intense than I usually like my cozies.

I didn't really have sympathy for the mc until the reveal about her fiance, then a lot of things made sense.

This one was very well written, just not my cup of tea.

A great teen novel!
Really good start to the "More Than" series, a great easy to read YA novel


I have recently re-read this book in an attempt to get my reading mojo back! I finished the book in a day and enjoyed it almost as much as I did the first time round.


A great easy to read book :)

"I mainly work as a cinematographer, and I recently had the opportunity to shoot a new film for Milcho Manchevski. It was like being paid to attend a master class in filmmaking. I love this film not just because of its innovative structure but because of the way it transported me to a war-torn country I’d only heard about in the news."

"Bottle Rocket remains my favorite Wes Anderson movie—and I love all of his movies. Dignan was a character I felt I knew from my life but had never seen in a movie, much less as the lead of a movie. “How did an asshole like Bob get such a nice kitchen?” is one of my favorite lines . . . and it’s offscreen."

"Fellini. Here it’s absolutely impossible to choose. What a gift to have such a complete selection of a great artist’s oeuvre. I had the pleasure of watching Fellini shoot a scene from City of Women at Cinecittá. I was flattered when he said, “Ah, you’re the young director I’ve heard so much about,” although I was barely younger than he."
