jmercado (1 KP) rated Sing Your Heart Out (Sinful Serenade, #1) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
Hmmmm i dont know how i feel about this story yet.
This starts off with a determined Med student Meg who is dealing with the loss of her sister, going to a party for the 1st time after her sisters death.
There is where she happens to walk in on Miles, the lead singer of one of her favorite bands.
Neither of them have the time or patience to deal with relationship so they go for the next best thing-no stings attached sex.
I think this story was longer than it needed to be bu brought in some very hard hitting issues.
I wasnt to in love with the relationship aspect and the main character did frustrate me towards the end on how easily she fell back in the sack with him. But this was very enjoyable for what it was.

better than the book
Contains spoilers, click to show
Edward is an abusive jerk (stalking, controlling, literally saying he is trying not to kill her) and relationships should not be like this. It is movies and books like this that teach young girls that it is ok to be treated this way and they end up being hurt mentally or physically. That being said this is the only movie I have seen that was done better than the book. In the book Bella's relationship with Jacob begins on a beach when she fake flirts with him to get information on Edward, she then continues to string him along even though she does no like him, this is not ok! In the movie however he just happens to like her and she seems to show interest back creating an actual love triangle situation.

Auburn (57 KP) rated Finding Kyler (The Kennedy Boys, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
The good: Romance, twists, turns, brooding Kyle, and damaged Faye. The plot to this book is wonderfully well written. It brings you into the Kennedy family and makes you care for not just the main characters but the other boys in the family. Add on the forbidden cousin relationship and you have a story you won't want to put down. The bombshell cliffhanger insures you will be heading to the next book ASAP to find out what will happen.
The bad: I had a hard time with the whole cousin thing for a lot of the book. But if you can get past that the steamy push pull is pretty well done.
The epilogue: This book is for fans of the Royals series as well as anyone who enjoys a good angst ridden push pull relationship.

This book of poems was beautifully written. There is a sadness that was able to be tapped into that made everything feel so much more real.
The first section, the one about the father, made my heart ache for this girl. Having a good relationship with my own father made me appreciate it that much more. I know that this kind of relationship exists, but it still hurts to confront it so head on.
I loved the female empowerment in the last section of this book. Women are allowed to have this strong connection with themselves. They do not have to have a man to feel good about themselves. I'm not sure why this section hit me so much, but it did. There is a sense of acceptance of one's own self. Of one's flaws and one's past. It's calming.

A love hate relationship with FIFA
I bought FIFA late this season after buying FIFA every season since day one ..I'm disappointed in that the coins I built up in FIFA 18 dosnt follow on into FIFA 19 .defense system gets worse every season can't seem to defend to save my life .transfers are utter rubbish especially if like me your starting mid season other players are just out to make coins & asking stupid prices for consumables it's going to take something special for me to change my love hate relationship with FIFA I like to play sports on Xbox. seasons are short as it is so when FIFA 20 arrives in September garented EA sports will forget FIFA 19

All time favorite book
Contains spoilers, click to show
Beautiful, honest, heart breaking. If you want to understand someone who grew up living with a mentally unstable drug addict parent or two this is the book you should read. This book shows all the ugly underbelly of living life like that and anyone who hasn't had to live like that should thank their lucky stars. I know many people despise and feel very much like Brenda does about Wavy's relationship with Kellen. Wavy was more mature then her mother and father so to say that she wasn't old enough to make that decision is taking Wavy's power away from her. She was smart, willful and she knew exactly what she was doing. Anyone who truly understands this story will understand their relationship. This will be one of my all time favorite books.
