Hmm...
I was up until 2am finishing this
I think Alex's view of life was rather warped for the first 66% of this book. Everyone is an employee, not someone he's known for years and are really his closest friends. I guess that fame can change you but a lot of the time at the beginning, I wasn't really liking Alex so much.
He did grow on me though and by the 80% mark I was crying like a baby. Everything seemed to happen all at once then but it was Alex after rehab that had my heart melting more, especially when he saw Indigo with the baby. So cute!

It's taken me about three week to read this. Psychological thrillers aren't really my thing but every once in a while I branch out from my usual romance.
I now kinda wish I hadn't. It took me forever to find this interesting/exciting. And it seemed to repeat a lot of the same things; Rachel getting drunk, Rachel on the same train everyday, Rachel harassing her ex... I was very bored for a while. And then the ending didn't really surprise me. It was a slow realisation but once we found out who was behind it, I wasn't surprised.
Think I'll stick to my mix of romances from now on.

I actually kinda l liked this...a lot.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this. Things to do with prison put me off a bit put this was written in a way so that we only really saw how it affected our boys' relationship.
That bit when he was talking about when he got out and Xavier kissed him hard, I was all sad like, and it was obvious to me then that emotions had become involved over the year.
I'm happy our boys got together in the end and I wouldn't mind reading more of this series at some point in the future.

Team Undecided after this one.
Well it's been a good while since I read the first book in this series but I remembered quite a few bits, mainly the guys; Aiden and Seth. I was Team Aiden back then, too. Now I'm not so sure anymore. Seth grew on me a lot in this one. He's gone from womanizing egotist to someone I actually quite like. He was there for Alex when she needed him most, unlike Aiden who at the time couldn't but still...he's really grown on me.
I'm off to start book three after that ending. What's going to happen now?!

I cried so much while reading this; sometimes the silent ones, sometimes the snotty nose, blotchy faced unpretty ones. It hit me pretty hard but I loved it so much.
The story starts with a bang, one that I wasn't expecting and one that had pretty severe consequences for Ella. It's got such a serious plotline but it was pretty romantic too. I loved our main characters, mainly Cinder because he was determined to stick with Ella but Ella had a lot more to deal with and wasn't sure how to do it.
This is my second book by the author and I look forward to reading more of her work.

When I first heard of Riverdale I didn't think I would like it but watching it made my head turn into a forever loving fan of the show. (1 more)
Each episode had gripping and compelling story lines and a huge lot of what if, what could happen and shock moments that I didn't think would happen
The last season that's out on Netflix has been a little boring sad to say with a possible alien story being brought into this. They can do better (1 more)
Also why is Hiram still a bad guy I thought he would of wallowed in potty or other mafia men would of killed him by now?
