Whoa. As a girl with depression and anxiety, this hit me hard. I loved this book. There were compelling characters, with multiple flaws, relatable situations, and an amazing plot.
I admit, Wallace was a bit of a douche near the end, and that pissed me off, but, like he apologized, so it's fine I guess.

Wow, the last two scenes with Benicio Del Toro were amazing. I'd been putting off watching this one, for no good reason. I was finally prompted to watch it because the sequel is coming out here pretty soon.
The whole cast was great. The tension was perfect, and I was enthralled the entire time.

Similar to its predecessors, Ocean’s 8 is a subtle heist that communicates more in montages and facial expressions than in intense dialogue. It moves at a steady pace with an ending I didn’t see coming. The best part is admiring the talented actresses.

The loney
I read the loney and thought it was amazing and different from any other book I have read. It is slow to get into but if you keep reading you kind of go with the flow.

We have issues...
Sometimes, you read a book the first time round and you think it's amazing and it is one of the best stories you have ever read. Then you read it the second time round....

Not as good as I remembered.

Good character insight
Emotionally investing
I thought this book was beautiful. The struggle alot of us miss, is the taunting and often disregard of human compassion when it comes to people with dissabilities. This story takes you on a rollercoaster of emotion, while tapping you into the brilliance and madness of humans.definitely recommend.

This was an amazing debut by Char Dafoe! It is a raw and edgy story with a pretty badass main charcter. The plot mores along nicely and any flaws will be worked out with experince. Everyone needs to give this new face in the lesbian fiction scene a read. Trust me you will love Rae!

Honestly I love this movie so much and I watch it over and over again but I don't know why I love it so much! Besides the fact that some of the cast are amazing (Meryl & Stanley my faves) the story is also good but I'm really not a fan of Anne or Emily.

I didn't watch the Greatest Showman until all the hype for it was over. When I did watch it, I was amazed, but I did not regret taking my time to watch it. It basically teaches you to love yourself no matter who you are and I love it.

Favourite book of the year
I loved this books, honestly one of my favourite books of the year, it did take me a while to read but that is because I was in work. But it was amazing.

I related to the characters and the shocks at the end made me emotional
