Better Together by BL Maxwell
Better Together tells the story of two young boys, both only seventeen years old, who have to deal with situations that would stress out adults. Caden is thrown out of home when his parents discover he is gay, and Rio has to become the father of the family when his parents are deported, due to a small mistake. These two struggle when separate, but once they are together, things get better.

This is a sweet story, full of hope and love, showing that maturity isn't necessarily linked with age. In fact, it seemed strange to hear their ages being referenced, as they seemed so much older in themselves. By pulling together, taking one step at a time, and asking for help when needed, Caden and Rio appear to be able to do anything.

With a high feel-good factor, I can definitely recommend this story for when life seems insurmountable!

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Jumper has found himself away from his owner/best friend, Tony, but he's being taken care of by Emily, Tony's friend. The two kids get together with their families and go multiple places, and Jumper gets to go along for the ride. In the process, he meets Bouncy, Emily's red ball. The two seem to hit it off nicely, and they share their many adventures together.

This series is just so cute, and I think it would make a great children's show. I actually enjoy the stories, even though I'm 25 and have no children of my own, so I think it would be something parents and children could enjoy together. I look forward to being able to read this books to my children someday. =)

Great first collaboration. Good view at each heroes backstory. A hint at what the MCU will become. (0 more)
Great first collaboration movie
The Avengers first go at the group ensemble is a win in my books. Who knew all those years ago what the MCU would become. This movie combined all the heroes, and their beginning backstories, together well. The heroes must come together to go against Loki and his intergalactic strike team. The team comes together after a brief hiccup of inner fighting, to save New York from the Chitauri and more importantly, Thanos. We get our first glimpse at the purple faced titan and what is to come from him and his army. Loki and the Tesseract play center stage in this first Avengers movie, but I don't think it will be the last time Loki plays center stage.

Riveting from the first line. The story goes with a breakneck speed, making you read it in one breath. I loved the different personalities of people and how the story was put together in the chapters. Wonderful book.
