I was so excited to start this. To begin with, I liked Beck and I loved August and I really felt for both of the characters.

But overall, the book just didn’t feel right. The language used was very poetic, almost as if C.G. Drews was just trying to make Instagram-worthy quotes. The language seemed really forced and really out of context. I can’t understand how a story about an abused teen would use very romanticised and literary language.

In any other context, I think I would quite like her writing style, but I feel that it really didn’t fit in at all here.

And then there’s the way that every few pages the lines

are

like

this

For absolutely no reason at all, and then for about fifty pages you see no use of this writing style almost as if the author has forgotten that she was trying to use this as a feature.

I get that this is a debut, but it just seemed really amateurish and didn’t flow at all. I started off liking the characters, and I finished hating them.

The only reason that this is two stars instead of one is that I did actually manage to finish it.

This is a pretty good app to use for beginning the study of a new language. I used it to help me with Japanese. The great thing about this app is that it encourages you to think for yourself more than other apps I've used. Because Japanese follows a different syntax order than English, you have to put in the words individually therefore you have to remember the sentence order. This is more beneficial than other apps where they just let you memorise a sentence and that's it. It's more active learning than passive. Plus, you can speak and the activities are varies so you do not get bored.

You can even join clubs and compete with other players to motivate you. There is a daily goal so you can see what streak you are on and you can also earn badges to keep you feeling encouraged.


However, there is only one course per language as far as I can tell so it is mainly beneficial for those who have just started learning a language. Once you finish that course, that's it. (From what I can see). You can either learn the basics of other languages or take your learning elsewhere.
