Loved it
The Ones Who Got Away by Roni Loren is one of the best romance novels I have read in awhile. I love a good second chance at love story and this was one of the best I've read. I really enjoyed the story line of high school sweethearts torn apart by tragedy who meet back up unexpectedly years later. They help each other overcome the pain of the past and discover that they can be happy again. This whole story was just beautifully written. I loved when the group of friends who bonded after the shooting came back together and that bond was re-established once again. I am a new reader of Roni Loren's but I enjoyed her writing so much that I will definitely be watching for more from her in the future. I loved the sneak peek of Rebecca's story at the end and I can't wait to read her and the other survivors stories next.

I quite liked this film. It was a little predictable at times, but it was also really heartwarming and based on a true story, which I love. I also love that they showed home videos and things during the credits, that’s my favorite part of watching any film that’s based on a true story. I think it just makes it feel more real and it connects the story a bit more in a way that just doesn’t happen if they don’t show pictures and videos.

I liked that the film was about Paige. There are some pretty big names in this film, Vince Vaughn and Dwayne Johnson being two, and it didn’t feel like they were taking away from her or her story. It felt like they were there to lift her up, which I appreciated.

I think this movie is a good watch if you want something lighthearted but still a nice feel good.

Story
Absolutely phenomenal
I have a huge love for Sci Fi programmes and this one is up there with some of the best ever made.
What makes this stand out is that you dont have to love sci fi to enjoy this TV series. The story and characters make the whole experience so engaging you just want more. The intrigue and deception involved in the story and characters arcs and development throughout make it a joy to watch as you want to see what will happen with the characters next.
I wouldnhighlu recommend this to anyone, it's worth a try and is a must for ant sci fi fans out there. Cannot wait for season 4 and so happy that it got picked up after SyFy made the huge mistake of dropping it.

Beautiful lesson
A beautifully done addition to the Toy Story saga.
You always worry when they dig up old property to make a new film. Will they do it justice? Will they be true to the original? Is there really a need for another movie? Toy Story answers all these questions with a resounding YES! The original toys, along with some new additions, are brought back for a new adventure that hits all the notes that you love about the series. The laughs are there, as are the tears. A beautiful new chapter is added to the toys' saga as is the beautiful underlying lessons and morals of the story. Truly well done.

I have loved the movie since it came out. I have raved about it's stunning visuals and unique story. So I finally dedicated time to read the book. I felt I was finally able to read the story without comparing the two.
I immediately loved her sass from the beginning. However, I felt there were several times throughout the story where Coraline's emotions were lost. I have read Neil Gaiman before, and it is typical that emotions are stark and factual, and not easy for the reader to find empathy.
If it had not been for the existing love of Coraline and her story, I think I would have really struggled to finish this.

Scarlett has had a rough life abandoned, in and out of Foster homes, stabbed, unloved, unwanted. Out of the blue somebody shows up representing her useless father great thats all she needs! Or is it exactly what she needs to change her life?

This was an intriguing story I enjoyed getting to know the charecters and where they come from there backgrounds and struggles through life. The sex scenes were very steamy but also quite repetitive. Some of the bits of the story do seem like there repeating things that have been said before.
It is a lovely story about finding yourself, love family and fighting demons and doubts.

A nice story overall just a bit repaetative in places.
  
Nothing ever runs smoothly, does it? And these twos relationship is no exception. Once again it's a roller coaster of emotion and feeling as Rush is once more pulled between his loyalty to his sister and his love for Blaire.

This series is emotional and you get so engrossed in Blaire and Rush's story that you feel like you're in the story with them, seeing it all happen right in front of you.

I need to find out what happens in the end with these two but I've noticed that Woods' story is book three in the Rosemary Beach series, so should I read his story next or go straight into Forever Too Far?? HELP?!?!

Raw, emotional, powerful drama
Apart from the fact I love Viggo Mortensen, this film is not one of those violent action films, but actually about a family drama. The story plot may not have been original, however, the dramatic effect it had on the family was powerful and emotional. It really does raise the question how well do you know the people you love? And not in a melodramatic way.
