"I love the way Curtis Sittenfeld writes. It feels personal and immediate. And in this, her debut novel, she tells the story of a lower middle class Lee Fiora navigating her way through an elite boarding school. Sittenfeld’s observations are razor-edged, dark, and brazenly funny."

"This novel about how the human race responds to the end of life on Earth rekindled my love for sci-fi. Some readers will lose patience with all the technical details about orbits and space flight, but for me, it’s an engrossing and thought-provoking story."

Peter Pan is absolutely my favorite Disney film. The original story (my favorite book), is way darker than this, but I didn't have a problem with the changes made. I love all of the songs as well, though, one of them is probably viewed as problematic now.

My dad won’t stop watching this movie

I saw it when I first came out. Good date movie, but my boyfriend and I agreed that while the music is very good, it does not fit the time period of the story being told. Especailly the song “Never Enough”, the renoun surrounding the greatest soprano in Europe and she’s singing a simplistic pop ballad when she should be singing an aria. I love Pasek and Paul, and I think the cinematography is amazing and I love the blocking in the song between Efron and Jackman. But the verisimilitude was not there because of the incongruity of the songs and the story.

Vee and Cam have a love story that takes the long way round. High school sweethearts until it all goes wrong. Years later they find themselves trapped on a tour bus together. Forced to confront the past and their feelings all while trying to be civil.
I adored this book and the raw emotions it brought out. It wasn't just your typical love story where everything goes right the first time. This took time, guts, and a bit of heartbreak to get to the end. The songs and lyrics fit and made you a part of their world.
Perfect for fans of music, romance, and alternating view points.
