A Great Coming Out Book

This book was very well written. It hits on the angst of fist love, especially if that is a LGBTQ love. I really do not think people understand how hard it is to accept that you may be gay when all your life you are told it is wrong. I think Mitchell really did a fantastic job of introducing and confronting those issues with believable characters. I read this book in one sitting.

If you are a fan of music or just good writing you will enjoy this book. [Sparks] delves deeper into the background of BJ Sparks who is a minor character in the [WeHo series] if you read those. These are some of [Sherryl D. Hancock's] most developed and complex characters yet. This book will take you on a wild ride. Another benefit is you can suggest this book to people who may not be so into the lesbian scene and introduce them to an amazing author.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?!?

This is one of those movies that always shocks me when people say they've never seen it.

The movie follows two detectives who are hunting down a serial killer who is using the Seven Deadly Sins as inspiration for his murders and let me tell you to this day Sloth messed me up so much. But it's the amazing ending that really just makes this movie something special that everyone who is a fan of Psychological Thrillers should definitely watch.

Great read

John Green has a talent for making his characters feel like real people with very real problems. Aza's struggle with her mental health is heartbreaking and engaging, but the true magic of this book is how her struggles also impact those around her. Davis and Daisy are both well rounded characters who have realistic reactions to Aza's illness. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like an inside look at the spiraling invasive thoughts that can be caused by mental illness.

People think this is a lot better than it is. (0 more)

It is ok.

I just don't get the gushing about this film. It's ok, just not much more than that. The stories don't develop much from their side stories. It's all a little flat and although you liked it, it could have reached the heights of Oliver, Charlie and the Chocolate Factoryet Al but won't be looked fondly back on in thirty years to come as those were
