A teen, her mum and dog are moving to a new neighbourhood, on her first day of school she is invited to a party but turns it down to hang with her mum, however, her mum is too busy with her new job so she decides to go to the party. The party ends up being cancelled and the teens decide to drink instead, but as they're underage they struggle to get anyone to buy them alcohol, until a seemingly nice woman agrees to buy it for them. It soon becomes apparent that this woman is dodgy as we see her stalking the teens on Facebook (how did she get their full names?) and phoning one of their dads to tell him of their drinking plan who then phones the police to stop them in their tracks. This doesn't stop them trying again the next day by asking the same woman to buy them alcohol. This time she invites them to drink in her basement which the teens quickly agree to.
The evening turns sour when sue Anne pulls a gun out, but she soon turns it around as a good prank and invites them to party again and again. Eventually the teens realise how obsessed sue Anne is when she's constantly messaging them and they all decide to block her. That's when things go from bad to worse with a few surprises on the way.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie, it was in the horror section of Netflix but for the first hour I didn't really get a horror vibe, I got the vibe of a lonely woman so desperate to be liked that it becomes obsessive and I did feel sorry for her........ At first.
I liked the inclusion of her back story as I felt for her even more, making the second half of the movie such a kick in the teeth. I mean this woman is proper psychotic and the things she does is messed up, but damn it's a good watch! Octavia Spencer plays Ma so incredibly well, I honestly couldn't have picked anyone else to play her.

The Rain follows siblings Simone and Rasmus as they try to find their father and the unlikely group of teens they meet as they navigate this new world and it’s challenges.
There are many storylines as each main characters backstory gets explained in a separate episode, via short flashbacks. I really enjoyed this as it was nice to get to know the other characters not just Simone and Rasmus.
As with any good teen drama there is love, jealousy and heartbreak, as the teens deal with the addition of Simone and Rasmus to their group and everything they have been through since the deadly rain began.
It is obviously a Danish series so it has been dubbed with English voices which just means the speech and voices don’t always match up, however I quickly stopped noticing.
My one criticism would be the ending as it seemed very anti climactic. I’m not sure if this was because they were uncertain if there would be a season 2 or not. However it would not stop me from recommending the series.

My fiance bought this book for me last year and I finally had the chance to read it. Wow.... he sure has a knack for finding some good reads for me. This book has it all from hateful teens to disturbing revelations and the story is so captivating that I read it all in one day as I could not and would not put the book down. Highly recommend this book and I will definitely read more of this author's books.
Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated I Can't Keep My Own Secrets: Six-Word Memoirs by Teens Famous Obscure in Books

My thoughts: I won this book from The Shady Glade, and I didn’t know if I wanted to review it or not. I started it. I couldn’t stop.
It’s a collection of six-word memoirs by teens all over the place, and it’s fabulous. Some were inspiring, some were depressing. i sat on my bed and whispered them aloud to myself for thirty minutes. (it’s a short book.) it was enthralling.

Not so sweet 16
What can you say about a movie like 16 candles that hasn't already been said a 1000x. Like most of John Hughes 16 candles really just sums up what it's like being a teenager and no matter the decade he really just transcended time because this movie worked for my mom in 80's, me in the early 2000's, and teens now and honestly I feel like it will still be relateable for generations to come.
