omg im hooked
omg i could not put this book down or even know where to start

i was hooked from the beginning fell in love with the 2 little girls, found hatred for benny immediately.
this book made me cry , it made my heart race and got me addicted.
as a victim of abuse myself i found it a bit hard to read but i was so invested in the characters that i just felt like i would betray them if i didn't keep reading and oooooh my god i am so glad i did .
i love dillon i loved him from the moment he was introduced i have a love of arrogant, self aware asshats.
if a story doesn't have a strong female lead and she all weasley and pathetic i just cant get into it and this book did not let me down.

right thats it im off to read book 2 should only take me till bed time seriously hooked

Album Favorite

"This is a perfect record, It's heart on sleeve music, which is absolutely what I wanted to try to make on my album. Brazil is a very important place for me in terms of its music and culture; it's the first place I lived in where I felt I got pulled out of a bubble, and had to stand on my feet in a different culture to mine, and Jorge Ben is one of its greatest figures. He was so important in the bossa nova era, and a pivotal person in tropicalia – Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil looked up to him like a brother, as he was older. There's so much in that country's art that's about richness and magic, like the writing of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, as well. In many parts of England, you have to pretend to down nine pints to get into that frame of mind. That's probably why other cultures appeal to me."

I don't know if there's another book after this with the same characters - I will look that up after this review, but even if there isn't, I feel like the ending was realistic. I couldn't imagine how hard it must be for these kids to heal and gain a sense of self respect or confidence after everything they've been through, so it felt right that Ellen ended their story in the midst of their healing process. I'm aware that not everyone survives what they did and, if they survive physically, too many don't come back in the emotional and mental sense. Though each character did survive their ordeal (main characters, anyway), and that's not always the case, it was eye opening to see just how deeply affected they were by their experiences and how hard it was for them to recover. Traffick, like it's prequel, was all too real and all too heart breaking.

I really enjoyed the original and far better Zombieland. It felt like a fun new take on a tired genre, it had a cast and director that cared and made it work, and it had that amazing Bill Murray section. Surprisingly, because it feels like yesterday, it took 10 years to make a sequel, by which time all the best ideas along these lines have been used up, everyone is older, wiser and less energetic (including the writers, who are also the same guys). It looks like they are trying to act like it’s fun, but no one has their heart in it, especially Emma Stone, who 100% phones in an uncharacteristically lacklustre performance. It is all just the same jokes, the same beats and the same ideas, only worse in every case. The character of Maddison, played by Zoey Deutch, attempts to create a new angle but is more annoying than funny. It is more or less watchable, I guess. But probably only once.

Anna is a typical girl,awkward.worried and just normal which is the most refreshing thing to read. I absolutely adore her and St Clair's whole bond, its just heart warming. I found them so real, St Clair is portrayed as someone with feelings rather than something to look at and admire which I love. I think the situations they ended up in felt like something believable not just an "ideal romance"
     Paris is described so beautifully and I love how Stephaine Perkins sets the scene I think she describes it in such a way you can visualize.
                Anna's friends she meets while at school are the kind of friends you would want for yourself, they are down to earth and so real. I love how she has a separate bond with all of them.

        Overall I loved this book, it was a fast and easy read perfect for a weekend read. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
