I feel oddly compelled to give this 5 stars.

I think it's safe to say that she is well and truly broken and screwed, poor girl. She lost her brother, her parents, her lover, her best friends.

I liked Jesse from the beginning even if he was a pain in the arse. I know he was dealing with his grief but God, do you have to be so mean to her. And poor Alex, the girl never gets a break.

I just hope it picks up a bit in the next one (which I'm off to buy right now from Amazon!) and that she can get herself unbroken--if that's a word--and sort out a relationship with Jesse because even after all the crap they put each other through, I still want them to get together! (Hopeless romantic I am)

When I saw this advertised on one of the many e-book discount emails I get, I thought it sounded really good and I downloaded it straight away. When I started it, I still thought it was pretty good. It just kinda went a bit downhill from there.

There was no build up to any of the sex. It was like meet, say a few words, go back to the hotel and have sex. I didn't get it.

Then came the second vampire. There was just an instant connection and instead of fighting it because you're mortal enemies, you run off together...? I gave up after that.

I didn't feel a connection to the characters or for their "relationship". Not for me at all. I like to read the romance and I couldn't find it in this.

The story

I have read some Pratchett but I hadn't read this one, so didn't know what to expect, which also means I cannot compare the book to series... I watched it after being bombarded with adverts for it, and I am glad I did, it's wacky, funny and a bit bizarre with 2 main charcters who you actually can like and enjoy the complex relationship between the two... The acting chemistry Michael Sheen and David Tennant worked really well and the production of the show made it a really enjoyable series to just watch rather than watch and have to think too much, as some series tend to over think things.
I don't know if it was the whole of the book or if there is a sequel but hopefully we see more Good Omens in the future..

*I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*

I'd been looking at this book for a while. I've recently noticed a love for YA Contemporary Romances. And this is that.

I liked it but I thought that their relationship progressed a bit too quickly in the beginning. One minute they were meeting for the first time and several pages later they were kissing and touching each other. I get that they'd been watching each other for years and felt like they knew each other but I kinda missed that awkwardness of it all--though admittedly that bit came later with the "family planning" aisle.

I'm still feeling torn over my rating of this. I wasn't blown away by it at all but the romance and connection between them, once it really got going was really sweet.

It's unashamedly sentimental and certainly won't be to everyone's tastes but when the news is full of horrible depressing stuff like racism and the bloody virus sometimes you just want a big warm hug of a film and this certainly delivers on that. Being British I am not familiar with Mr Rogers and the film is not really a biopic of him, more so the influence his positivity has on other people and the story concerns his relationship with a cynical journalist tasked with interviewing him whose struggling with family issues. You can see how it's all going to end up but it's a journey worth taking. Hanks is as charming and likeable as ever and the film left with me a big smile on my face and in this day and age that is always something to be thankful for.
