This does not follow the book very well, but it does a cute job with the interpretation that it tries. I enjoyed this one a lot with some very cute quirky characters.

Wonderful, honestly!!
I am so enjoying this series. I've tried to steer clear of reading series recently. I'm following a couple already, and the wait for the next book in those series is excruciating! So here I am, at the end of book 2, and I have to wait until next year for the third! Ah well. Anyway, I loved everything about this book: the storyline, the characters, the world building. It's brilliant. Well worth a read.

Well Written and Full of Surprises
From kick-ass characters to jaw-dropping revelations this book has a little bit of everything for readers of all ages. Well written story-line that quickly reels you in and keeps you turning the pages as you want to discover all the nooks and crannies that Haven has to offer. Under no circumstances should you pass this story up!!! As for me; I will be reading the author's other books.

I received an eARC via Clean Teen Publishing Elite Reviewers which I am a member of. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are my own.

I was magically transported to Italy while reading this well written story line. The characters are well developed and the romance is clean and endearing. I felt like I was caught up in the story and had a difficult time putting my Kindle down.

A study in relationships
A film most seem to love or hate. I'm right down the middle. It is a good film, well made and the scenes in and around Tokyo are well shot. It's basically about a friendship between unlikely people in an unlikely place. A bit slow for some, but if you like films about human character and different personalities you will like this.

2009 | Comedy, Drama
This movie was Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, and she did a really good job. The small, po-dunk town was portrayed honestly and well. The roller derby action was shot so well, and it happened to take place in my home town, so I'm partial.
Ellen Page was great as the main character, she was pitch perfect. This is also only one of two movies I can stand Kristen Wiig in, which is really saying something.

Beautifully made
A movie well made. The cast fit the characters well. There is romance, mystery, drama, and a lot of music. Song lyrics and voices are on point. As for acting, actors did an amazing job. Almost everything happens in the opera house and beneath it, which is not bad as it sounds. The building is beautifully decorated, and all it does is make you want to explore every room and every corner.

This is the first book in the series and what a fab start it is. This is a story about two broken people trying to mend. This story is heart breaking as well as beautiful. The characters are fab and work well within the story. Its a bit slow in the beginning but stick with it, it is definitely worth it. I cant wait to read book 2.

enjoyed this book, really like that it was both characters point of view. the story flows really well and when the characters do meet it is perfectly fitted within the story. the ending is a cliff hanger, so have book two ready. it is a well written book and was nice to read a book where the man isn't a billionaire bad boy. would definitely recommend to others.
