This was an enjoyable book. The storyline was cute and easy to follow. The characters were developed. Bethany as the narrator lends a quirky and awkward take on the story. The whole idea of love finding you no matter how hard you try to avoid it is always a good one. Especially when the relationship begins as a friendship. Good showing for a first book by Bryant.
  
The prolonged grief of watching someone suffer
Terribly sad to read Cathy Rentzenbrink's real account of watching her brother in a vegetative state eight years after a hit and run accident. It raises many moral questions including is it right to let someone live in pain or die quickly under horrible circumstances. This book is truly a love story between a sister and brother. Expect many tears.

This was a fast funny read. I've read The Hobbit and seen the movie (the old animated one!) and I love the story... and the silliness of The Soddit was delightful.

The reader was fabulous, though a bit abrasive, and at times I couldn't quite understand what words were being said because of a thick accent or voice, but it was all together enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a slightly different twist on the police officer/military officer and civilian love story. The characters were well developed. There was pleanty to0 keep the plot flowing and it was very readable. Normally I shy away from anything space but this was very well done and not "out there". I am looking forward to reading more from Ms. Luck.

Some phrases and things lifted straight from the book (Pride and Prejudice)

Pemberley Digital's YouTube page features Emma in a modern-day retalling as well - within the same company
Didn't like how the ending didn't complete Lizzie and Will's story as in the books (0 more)
Maybe missed the bus on this one...

Great fun!
Absolutely love the concept behind black mirror bandersnatch with a choose-your-own-adventure style viewing!
The story itself was very entertaining, and just as my husband and I begin to ask how does this movie ever end? It did!
We will definitely be watching again to see more of the alternate endings! The novelty should take us through at least 2 more rewatchings
  
this was a lovely read, I really enjoyed the story and loved the characters. the author has a way of writing so that you end up falling in love with the characters. the author writes the right amount of chemistry between the characters and adds in humour for a good balance. defiantly a fab read

highly recommended

Wow, very interesting read. I enjoyed how much they had to go through to be happy. I liked that it wasn't just easy peasy and everything was amazing. They are such sweet characters with so much pain and even more love. Very good story. Very glad I was allowed to read it for review

Mmm.. dragons.. Love dragons.. this one I will admit didn't catch me as easily as I had hoped.. however the storyline once it did catch me was wonderful. It was a bit slow... the characters were interesting.. Faith was a strong and intriquing human woman who didn't know what she was getting into. It was a good story and I'm glad i got to review it

hello, I'm a writer and I love to read!I'm slowly incorporating the library in my neighborhood into the library in my house.. My most recent beta read was for Dancing Feet, a short story by tabitha ormiston-smith. It was a lovely read, with a modern and determined retelling of Cinderella, but without all the silly princess nonsense. check it out on amazon today
