When I read these long book descriptions it seems that half of the book is given away but in this case it is different. This is cute love story with a lot of uncertainty. I really enjoyed that this book was written taking in consideration both characters views and feelings. That somehow makes the story more attractive and romantic. I think that the name “A Spoonful of Love” suited this book better, because it doesn’t say much about the actual days of Christmas, it’s more about the period before Christmas. I really enjoyed the insight of cook’s life which was very detailed in this creation. The uncertainty between characters feelings was so adorable, just like couple of teenagers. Normally I am not very big fan when there is no proper ending, but this book’s ending was really interesting. Just like something’s ending is a beginning of something new. It left that question mark hanging there. Is there going to be another book? Overall I liked the book, as cute love story but I would like that it would be more twists, more drama, more continuity. It should have the whole thing, not just the beginning …

I don't even know what to say. Honestly, I saw someone else say that this book wrecked them and I was feeling masochistic, so I decided to pick it up and read it for myself. Unfortunately, I chose to pick it up around 11 o'clock at night. Wrong choice! I absolutely could not stop! I read the whole thing, straight through, until almost 4 o'clock the next morning. And the reader I got my recommendation from was right - this book absolutely did wreck me. Not so much that I ugly cried, but enough that I literally felt a hole in my heart when I was finished. Nothing could have prepared me for the ending. Some books based on high school teenagers are so cliche and immature, but Paper Princess was different and extremely refreshing. I found myself relating so much with Ella that it was almost scary. The story felt original and I like that. Throughout the whole book, I rode the roller coaster of emotions right alongside Ella. The ending has left me devastated, but I'm desperate to move on to the next book and discover what's next for Ella!
  
47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)
47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)
2019 | Adventure, Drama, Horror
In the first "47 Meters Down," two friends went cage-diving in shark-infested waters and became trapped on the bottom after the line is tragically severed. The sequel takes place in Mexico with four teenagers who are not exactly friends at the beginning cave-diving in an ancient Mayan city that became submerged. One of the girls secretly rendevouses with an underwater explorer who showed her a secret dock where diving gear was being hidden for archaelogists. She then takes her friends to the secret spot one Saturday when two of the girls who are stepsisters are supposed to take a glass-bottom boat to shark-infested waters. The girls then explore the Mayan cave where they find a shark who has become trapped in the caves. The rest of the movie is the friends attempting to escape these blood-thirsty monsters and bonding. Unfortunately, after Florida alligators and a series of killer shark movies, 47 Meters Down Uncaged does not satisfy in any way (both story or camp-wise). The filmmakers and studio knew this or they would not released the film in the middle of August against four other wide releases.
