Kyera (8 KP) rated Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up in Books
Feb 1, 2018
Sorry, Not Sorry is Naya Rivera's ode to her life. It follows her path from childhood stardom (sort-of) to motherhood with all the trials, tribulations, successes, heartbreak and awkwardness in-between. Her honesty in the book is refreshing and makes me admire her more. She's not perfect and no one is, but she has gone through the good and the bad in her life and come out the other side a stronger person. Naya has very relatable stories and advice for any reader. Her story with Ryan is real and makes you root for them, even if they didn't have a picture perfect start. In her book, she says she set out to write something that was real and I feel that she hit the mark beautifully. She is honest, relatable and inspiring. This is one of the "celebrity" books that I enjoyed reading the most, and would recommend it. It's a quick read, so what are you waiting for?

Just an average thriller
I’d heard good things about this book, but to me it just came across as your average run of the mill thriller.
Unsurprisingly considering the title, it’s based on an ominous and sinister friend request, which is actually one of the better things about the book. It’s very relatable as there’s not many people who don’t have Facebook nowadays, the problem is that I didn’t find Louise to be a very relatable protagonist. Some of her thoughts and actions were just a little too far fetched and didn’t make a lot of sense, even when you took the unfolding events into account.
The book itself was well written and it did at least keep me intrigued for the most part, but for me it was really let down by the ending. I was expecting more a shocking twist, but instead it just predictable and a bit dull. If it wasn’t for the ending, I may have rated it a little higher.

Nonsensical at times
Very emotional... at the end.
I really enjoyed this film, although there was a slow progression. Once the movie hit its climax, the movie finished fairly fast. I love movies that make you think and despite the movie being straight forward, it adds the thinking element into it. If you ar thinking of watching this movie, BRING TISSUES.

New Years Eve
A perfect Romantic Comedy for those who like dialog... Really nails the time period.... and a diner scene.
Way beyond quirky, but still interesting and relatable. This is one of those films that when it comes on TV I don't change the channel until the next commercial breaks the spell. It's great. For Meg Ryan, her best films are this one and Sleepless in Seattle.

A Beautiful Love Story!
The Beach House by Sterling Keyes made me fall in love with reading romance books again! This novella is the perfect summer/beach read... great writing, very relatable characters, and a perfect beach setting. A beautiful love story that pulled me in right from the start! This is the first book in A Shimmer Pointe Series and I'm really looking forward to reading the next book! Highly Recommend this gem!

Breath taking!
This musical is amazing! The characters are complex and relatable and the music connects to your very soul. A fun, family friendly movie with great messages about the important things in life.
The story follows P.T. Barnum and how he created the circus as we know it today. The entire film makes you feel like you are a kid again, experiencing an amazing show for the first time. It's definitely magical!

I enjoyed this book and learning more about the talented world.
It is good to get to know the characters more and see them begin to develop. Especially Talia as she stops being a naive girl and begins to question what she has been told. I find her quite a relatable character as she has flaws, particularly her temper.
You also begin to question certain things, however big answers seem to be slow coming.

Fun for new and old comic fans
This was such an awesome start to a new/reboot series. From start to finish I just found Vol.1 so much fun! The characters are all not only likeable but very relatable and that fact alone made this series one I couldn't put down.
This was also a great start for old school fans and new fans who wanted to try reading comics for the first time.
