This is the first book in this series by this author. What an amazing start to the series. This is a well written story. The characters and story line were both engaging. I liked the characters, they were strong and perfectly matched. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Would definitely recommend

I don’t have time for a full review so here’s an abbreviated one. It was good. You should see it. Acting was awesome. Plot was engaging. Joseph Gordon-Levitt looks weird with Bruce Willis nose. Dystopian society scenes were fascinating. Emily Blunt is a total babe.

Uplifting
Marin is lonely, she’s drowning in it. Her friend (maybe more) Mabel tries to save her from her loneliness. As the story goes alone we piece together a past Marin was unable to face. It was really interesting how inactive the actual sequence of events were, but it remained engaging through sporadically having flashbacks to Marin’s past.
Lovely story, kinda gay, depression and anxiety present and discussed.

Badass sci-fi and the power of friendship
So almost everyone has a computer in their heads, and a new drug hits the streets that could take down the entire infrastructure to this online world. Who are you going to trust when some unknown force is trying to get in your head, kill you and your friends?
Bluescreen is an engaging look into the town of Mirador, and what’s destroying it.

Well this book was certainly a journey!! After it opening at the end, then going all the way back to the beginning of Delias story, I read eagerly to get back to the end of the story to find out what had happened! And what a story it was! As flawed as Delia was, her story was engaging, entertaining and the flow of the writing made it a very easy read.

Started off great
This started off as a wtf did they do to archie and the gang? But as i watched i was able to dismiss my initial misgivings. The actors are great storyline was engaging for at least the first 2 seasons. Now it seems to be on a downswing in an effort to try to stay interesting... They are accomplishing the opposite.

What an amazing story
I highly recommend this book to absolutely everyone! The story is very engaging as well as educational. Really, really enjoyed reading this book. Wish there were more similar stories with other species. Maybe there are and I'm just not aware, so if anyone knows of another book like this one, please let me know ?

I can recommend "The Story of Bees" by Maja Lunde, published by Scribner 2018. I hope you love it as much as I did.

Dragged Out
I'm not a fan of this writing style. The story is dragged out causing even the interesting parts to become monotonous and boring. While a couple of the characters were interesting the majority of them did not stand out. The majority of the book follows the same pattern of being mildly interesting, but never enough to stand out and be engaging. This book belongs on a shelf somewhere.

Didn't agree with the hype
I found this book slow moving, particularly the first 40%. Julianne as a character was interesting and engaging. Gabriel, however, I found hard to figure out and his character inconsistent. Some of his dialogue was difficult to believe. The premise for the story was good, although more could have been made of the forbidden aspect. I am unsure whether I will read the next ones.

Gets Old Fast, But Good For An Afternoon
Some of these videos are really interesting. After a while, though, they all start to blur together. I still subscribe to the channel, but I can't remember the last video I actually watched.
On the bright side, they're definitely well-researched. And I'll admit that the tone is consistently good: engaging, funny at some points but serious when it needs to be.
