"It’s hard for me to speak on the influence of these two beautiful films without getting emotional. Both put a woman at the center of a nightmare that is too true for many of us in our day-to-day lives, and both give the audience access to the crisis of not being believed. Both also imagine a world where the family unit itself fails us, where it’s possible for our partners, our children, and even our own maternal feelings to ensnare and ruin us. Essential viewing."

I thought I would start reading this book for ten mins before bed. I am here two hours later,blood shot eyes and feeling rather fragile and broken. This is the first book I have read by Patrick Ness and he is an absolute genius. This book brought feelings out in me that I didn't even know I had. I think its one of those that will always stay in the mind when talking about books which have rocked your world. Absolutely heart breaking and amazing.

I liked this.

I didn't enjoy it as much as [b:Love to Hate You|38089447|Love to Hate You|Jo Watson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1524974137s/38089447.jpg|59758616] but it was still a pretty cute romantic comedy. I loved how the chemistry between the two very different characters made them determined to overcome those difference and how they're feelings developed.

I also loved the journey through rural Africa and back into urban cities.

I'm looking forward to reading some more books by the author.

Crying ISNT optional
Omg, Ive just watched an entire week worth of Cillian Murphy movies and his ability to become these characters is upsetting. I wouldnt trust that man.at all.whatsoever. This film moved me so profoundly. Brings up past feelings you only thought were behind you. If you've experienced unconditional love, you will be absolutely heartbroken by the events and how it builds to that ending..... If you havent experienced unconditional love you will still cry like a f--ckin "bebe".

Luca and Jo have been best friends forever. He has seen her at her worst and Luca is very protective over her. When they were young, Jo had a heart condition and he collapsed right there in front of him. Since then, Luca has made it his mission to make sure no harm will come to her. But Jo is no longer the fragile little girl she used to be and she would love to prove that to Luca. But he just wants to be friends and she doesn't want to ruin that, or does she?

Thank you to Frankie Love and C.M. Seabrook for the opportunity to read and review this book.

What would you do if you had feelings for someone for years, but were afraid to express them because you didn't want to lose a friendship. Isn't that the age old story. We're such good friends, I don't want to ruin the friendship. But what if you both felt the same way about each other. How long could you go holding the feelings in? For Jo and Luca the time as come to see whether they'll be able to make it as more than friends.
