Enveloping worlds
Fine Fantasy Fiction
Bridge Between the Worlds is an enjoyable read. A fantasy fiction like no other. Things are reminiscent of other fantasy stories yet so unique it keeps you guessing. Reading this makes you feel you are straddling two worlds and you are unsure which you want to be in, both hold their perils and rewards. Who is right and who is wrong? Truth is a matter of perspective and history is written by those left behind. Who side will you take? Which truth will you believe?

Much like the blade on the books cover this story slices you to the bone.
This is a story that is relatable and real because it can happen to anyone. This could be anyone’s town. Anyone’s child. Anyone’s family.
I felt myself embodying Camille with every turn of the page. I could feel her scars and strength.
This book does start off slow and end suddenly but it’s a whirlwind of excitement throughout.
Just when you think you have the case solved prepare for one heck of a surprise.

Interesting storyline
Dealt realistically with LGBT issues
Follows the life of a male high school student, Simon, who is currently disguising that he is gay. He then finds comfort in an online friend who is struggling with the same problem. Simon then endeavours to find out who his online recipient is, while all along trying to keep his sexuality a secret.
I enjoyed watching popular film with an LGBT main character.
Simon is a lovable and an easily relatable teenager.

The storyline was well written, though the fact that the kids were aware of the financial issues is a big no for me. The kids experiencing the magic and the adults not believing them is a bit overdone as well. The family experience is very relatable. The magic the kids experienced was not overdone and was excellently planned. I never saw the original, but this movie was excellent.

Absolutely loved this book! So glad I listened to it. Listening to Anna Kendrick read all the funny little anecdotes that she experienced on her way to stardom is, in my humble opinion, the only way. She was so relatable and I felt at times like I actually know her. (Don't worry. I'm not actually that deranged that I think I know a celebrity I've never met. But for reals. She's freaking hilarious)
I definitely would recommend this book to anyone who has enjoyed any of her movies.

Wondefully Written
Clive, the cat
Very steamy and full of lots of laugh out loud moments
I LOVE this book. It is one of the most addictive romance novels I've ever read. The story of Caroline and Simon's budding relationship is exciting and raw. The best thing about this book is the hilariously relatable protagonist, Caroline, and her adventures in juggling her career, her baking, and her extremely loud neighbor. Would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance novels that offer sexiness and a good chuckle every now and then.

<b>Re-read 2018:</b>
I completely stand by my 4* rating and first review. This was an extremely enjoyable read.
But, one note I will add is this: My re-read was because I could remember very, very little of the story. And I reckon, given another year, I will have likely forgotten it all over again.
<b>First review 2015:</b>
I feel all warm and fuzzy. And smiley.
This was adorable.
Less-is-more writing style; relatable characters; intriguing thread of mystery: A wonderful story -well paced and very satisfying.

Relatable story
Awesome
I was given this book for free by my request but the opinion is of my own. This book literally grabs you literally from the beginning and doesn’t let go. Marley is trying to start anew in college after dealing with bullying because of her seeing things no one else could. Suddenly she is pushed to see that just perhaps what was considered a mental illness is more real than given. Does end in a cliffhanger and I’m definitely wanting to read the rest.

I LOVE these guys!
I absolutely love GMM and the guys behind it. Rhett and link are hilarious, have an incredible team full of creative ideas, and their videos honestly are one of the highlights of my days. My favorites are the will it? And taste test episodes. They are always trying something new and putting smiles on my face. Their friendship is so real and they can be so relatable I truly wish I knew them. If you want a good laugh, I recommend this show 100%.

This novel was thrilling and enthralling! I could not put it down. The characters are believable and relatable. The minutia of small town law enforcement is enhanced by the enormity of the crimes being committed, more so because no one is convinced they are really occurring. I like the way the author portrays a victim and the aftermath of the horror she survived in its banality since it is probably as real as it would get. I enjoyed the different characters and the plot was interesting and well developed. The twist ending was excellent!
