"I love stories of survival and I love strong men. This is one man’s story of surviving in Antartica when he lost everyone and everything and still managed to make it back to his ship under the worst possible conditions and elements. What he survived, what he endured, and his will to live are themes I’ll never get tired of learning about. We have always lived among great people, but it’s an essential reminder that there are superior beings."

Why am I always sent flying towards "bad boys" I swear to god I have a problem! Biancia is cynical,rather angry and sarcastic I love her! Wesley is big headed,irritating,and more or less a twat. I love him too.
      This is a story of things not always turning out the way you expect them to,and having to pick up the pieces along the way.
      Im going now because I have to dream about Wesley :)

Very good plot, a good historical fiction. (0 more)
Well written with a marriage of history and art.
I was not sure about this book when i picked it up, i love historical fiction but was not 100% sure by the blurb. I was pleased i persevered because i enjoyed the book very much. The characters really came alive and the culture and art you could see so vividly. Would recommend to anyone who likes a historical fiction love story.

Science fiction classic
Contains spoilers, click to show
It's actually not a bad film at first I thought the main cast looked a bit weak for such a big project but they do a pretty good job .the story evolves around an alien race wiped out but a few seeking 2 objects which let them recreate there world ,along the way there a love story lots of action and so many interesting species and ideas ...now the film is very much like all your classic science fish coming together think starwars meets avatar with a bit of startre thrown in ,well worth a watch

This is the first book by this author that I've read. This is the first book in this series by this author. This is a melt your heart romance story, perfect for these winter nights. This story will make you laugh, cry and smile as you read. The characters were amazing, I just fell in love with them from the start. The secondary characters were really good too and worked well in the story and helped it to move along at a nice pace. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Nice heart warming story
Romantic comedies are not my usual read but I felt like a change. And I'm very glad I gave it a try, it was a very easy read as it was full of good scene setting description character build ups and an interesting back story too. Well worth the read, even if you're not a romcom reader.

The story is about Katy who is a wedding photographer with her own business who was left struggling after a family betrayal. Katy learns to trust and eventually love again. There are ups and downs that keep you glued to the book from beginning to end!

Ow. Just ow. This story was so beautiful and sad to read. I really enjoyed how Gayle Forman was able to break up the more sad parts of the story with happy flashbacks on Mia's life. This had a perfect ending. The cello was such a huge part of Mia's life, and it showed very much through out the story. What a magnificent piece of literature. I am so glad they made this into a movie. I am really excited to be able to see it. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves stories about love, life, and what it means to live.
