"When I was making 19, my manager suggested I cover a Bob Dylan song, Make You Feel My Love. I didn’t really know much about Dylan at the time, but I suddenly got interested, got into his back history – and that’s how I found Karen Dalton. She used to open for Dylan back in the day in Greenwich Village. There’s not a lot of her music out there, she died quite young. But her voice! Something haunting there, even eerie. The tone is amazing – it reminded me a lot of Amy Winehouse. They both have almost a slur in their voice, which is so charismatic."

"The films that I like aren’t necessarily because they’re good films in themselves — One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a good film — but that one specifically meant a lot to me. Not because I was in a mental home or anything, but that character influenced me so much when I was 15 or 16, and bits of it stuck with me. A lot of that kind of “putting your middle finger up to the world” attitude — not that I really have that, but…I used to be so timid, and that was one of those films that [helped me break out], by pretending to be [Jack Nicholson’s character] Randle."

DNF @ 32%

It may seem a little unfair to rate this book when I didn't finish it, but it didn't grab me at any of that 32%. I was bored with it; I wanted more of our heroine and hero together and they'd only just met (sort of, anyway). The whole <spoiler>rape</spoiler> thing, having just read a book based around the same thing, [b:Going Under|17337522|Going Under|S. Walden|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1364409096s/17337522.jpg|24070983], I was a little jaded with the subject anyway.

I think I'm just off NA at the minute and will be doing a stint of YA Contemporaries instead.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was a quick and relatively easy read. It also explores a lot of different issues, and it did legitimately make me cry, which doesn't happen often. I definitely identified with the main character.

This was probably the most well-written book I read in 2016. It was seriously beautiful!! I wish it would have been longer, but this short beauty of a novel still managed to cover DECADES of a person's life!

I loved the movie as a whole. Samuel L Jackson and Ryan Reynolds fed off each other to hilarious results. The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of 10 was due to the large amount of cussing.

If any of you are interested in a reusable straw, I fond this one on Kickstarter. I love that it is collapsible and comes in a variety of colors. If you are interested, use this link > http://thefinalco.com/TAh5Xr

This is a great read. It is well written, with a great plot and characters. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

This is not what I expected. I wanted a romcom hilarious book but this is not that. Instead we got some deep shiz happening and nobody gets a HEA. Instead we get everything smashed to pieces, like the cover.
