"I think I can live without you, but it won't be any kind of life"

I am not a patient kinda person. As much as I really loved the whole back and forwardness,and as much as I know it was very much needed as it was a giant part of the story, I found myself wanting to know what would happen noooow! I hated Neal at the beginning of this book I thought he was a giant self centered you know what. By the end of this book I love him, and I now how reading their story made me come to that conclusion.I disliked Georgie too more often than not,but at the end I loved her. Thought provoking and just wonderful, yet another magical book from Rainbow Rowell.

Cecelia Ahern wrote this as though she had been writing YA Dystopian all her life. She is my favorite author and I was so excited when I heard she was bringing this one out. The style she wrote it in is incredible, I actually felt like I was the main charector and that never happens as usually when I read a book it plays out in my head like a tv show. This book made me feel like I was living inside this book,I was living this unfair life with rules and regulations. I couldn't stand Celestine at the start of this story I wanted to give her such a shake! By the end I loved her. I cannot wait for the 30th of March next year!

To be completely honest, I was really disappointed with this book. It took forever to get started, it was super predictable, and the ending just felt forced and I saw it coming a mile away. I don't know why I had such high hopes for this book. I think I'd heard here and there that it was good so I really wanted to read and I finally got the chance and it was just lackluster, to say the least.

I think this idea was really cool and there's a lot of ways it could've gone and in some ways, I'm happy with what was done. But mostly, I just was not impressed. I didn't really love it but I know it's not the worst book I've read. It's a solid meh.
  
This book ....was interesting. Im not really sure how i feel about it at the moment. I feel like the relationship development was really flat and I couldn't really connect to the characters . The main female character frustrated me to no end and i want a huge fan of the Insta-Love but i liked what the author was trying to portray. I may give the 2nd one a go but not to sure yet.

I can get updates from authors. (0 more)
I have always been using Goodreads for years and would never change the fact that it has always helped me when I needed to look up a book. Love how I can scan a paperback book, so I can see the reviews and the other books in the series and will continue to in the future.

I would always recommend this app to new authors and readers.

True psychological mystery, as in, you may qualify for a psych degree after reading this. . I didn't figure anything out at all. Just when I thought I had, something changed it. The power of the mind is incredible. I couldn't put this one down once I really got into it. I did get a little confused by some of the twists and psycho babble, but it all worked itself out in the end.

As far as I can remember this was my first Laymon novel. I read it quite a while ago now so I don't remember a great deal about it. I gave it 4 stars as this is the book that got me into reading laymon and I have to say he is one of my favourite authors. I remember being transfixed to this book. It's well written, fast paced and shocking. Great read!

Hated the musical part of it. (0 more)
Not What I Expected
I was really excited to see the movie, I guess I didn't realize it was a musical. This would have been wonderful without the music. The story line is amazing and it explained so much about the beginning of the circus. It's not horrible, but you do have to sit through a lot of singing.

I bloody loved this film. I wasn't expecting to, I thought it was going to be naff and a bit of a reformed Splash. I couldn't have been more wrong. There are similarities to Splash but this film was much quirkier, sweeter, sadder and happier. I couldn't have asked for more. I'm so glad it had the happy ending, if it had ended the couple of minutes before I would have been absolutely distraught.

Album Favorite

"Your mother wouldn’t approve of how my mother raised me, but I do, I think I do. And you’re an all-American boy, I guess I couldn’t help trying to be your best American girl.” I love that she opened up a conversation in this song about trying to navigate the coveted life of the “American Dream” while coming from a different culture and how difficult it can be for those ideals to intersect."
