A Midsummer 's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger Book Review

About The Book.







“Whitley Johnson's dream summer with her divorcé dad has turned into a nightmare. She's just met his new fiancée and her kids. The fiancée's son? Whitley's one-night stand from graduation night. Just freakin' great.


Worse, she totally doesn't fit in with her dad's perfect new country-club family. So Whitley acts out. She parties. Hard. So hard she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose: a sweet little future stepsister who is just about the only person she's ever liked, a best friend (even though Whitley swears she doesn't "do" friends), and a smoking-hot guy who isn't her stepbrother...at least, not yet. It will take all three of them to help Whitley get through her anger and begin to put the pieces of her family together.”


My Review



This is the second book by Keplinger that I read and once again I was really impressed by her work, when I read The duff, (Click here to see my review of The Duff)  I was really into the story and trying to figure out what was coming next, but with this book, I was really into the story line, but the characters were so good in a way that you can really  relate to them, which is one of my favorite things about Keplinger’s writing she really works on her characters and make them really come to life in a way that can make you feel all kinds of emotions  and the different scenarios  of the book were simple  enough to make you think about, your life and the  decisions you make without thinking and how they end up catching up with you.
I highly recommend this books, I was reading it over the 4th of July holidays, which was a perfect timing considering the story and end up with this HUGE book crush on Nathan,  once I finished I was left wanting for more, so If Keplinger  would make this a series or decide to write a novella I would be the first to buy!

The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks Book Review

The Longest Ride




About The Book



Ira Levinson is in trouble. Ninety-one years old and stranded and injured after a car crash, he struggles to retain consciousness until a blurry image materializes beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their lifetime together - how they met, the precious paintings they collected together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them and their families. Ira knows that Ruth can't possibly be in the car with him, but he clings to her words and his memories, reliving the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage.


A few miles away, at a local bull-riding event, a Wake Forest College senior's life is about to change. Recovering from a recent break-up, Sophia Danko meets a young cowboy named Luke, who bears little resemblance to the privileged frat boys she has encountered at school. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world in which the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward -- even life and death - loom large in everyday life. As she and Luke fall in love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her plans -- a future that Luke has the power to rewrite . . . if the secret he's keeping doesn't destroy it first.


Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples who have little in common, and who are separated by years and experience. Yet their lives will converge with unexpected poignancy, reminding us all that even the most difficult decisions can yield extraordinary journeys: beyond despair, beyond death, to the farthest reaches of the human heart.


My Review

I would like to start this post by saying that this has been so far the hardest book review that I have ever done, because like any other Nicholas Sparks book I was not done with the book long after I finished reading it I just couldn’t stop thinking about both stories and how they collided and how one shaped the other.
All I can said about this book is that Nicholas Sparks have this way of make me wish that he was the author of my own love life, if that was possible, man and I wish it could be, because when reading The Longest Ride I felt so many feelings with Ira and Ruth’s story how they went through rough times and there were times when they  tried to put an end to it thinking that it was best to leave things the way they were but they end up getting back together because the love that they felt for each other was strong than any situation that was trying to keep them apart and even after they were not longer together they found a way to be present for the other not even death could do they apart.


With Sophia and Luke was not so different they were young and they both came from different places and wanted different things in life but they are the perfect example of how you can know so many people and they are just there, they don’t affect your environment but then, you meet one person that walks into your life and make this huge impact and soon after that you find yourself not being able of imagining your life without that person and they end up being more than you could have ever thought they could be.


This books is amazing I loved it so much I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to experiences what true love is like it’s not perfect but can overcome any circumstances.!  


You can get the book here :Amazon
And these beautiful stories were made into a movie click here to read my review of the movie.

Paper Towns by John Green Book Review



Paper Towns by John Green just became one of my favorite books. John Green did it again, the characters of the books are so well define and you can just identify yourself we them all, we all have a friend like Margo, who shows the world a person but behind closed doors is nothing like it, somebody that is different that enjoys and appreciate the little things in life like having a good time, but at the same time knows, around who they can be truly themselves. I enjoy this books from beginning to end. Although everyone may see the meaning of the story in a different way, for me it was all about the things that we are willing to do for those who we care about, and the things that we are willing to risk for them. Paper Towns is an amazing story I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a great adventure with a beautiful meaning. And the movie will come out this summer and I honestly can’t wait to see how they bring this amazing story to life!.


Did you read the book? did you like it? Are you excited for the movie?

Finding Haven by T.A.Foster Book Review





BOOK SUMMARY:


Power. Money. Control. Love.
He has all but one.


When movie star, Evan Carlson, discovers his girlfriend’s picture with another man splashed on the cover of gossip magazines, he decides he’s had enough of his fishbowl life and attempts to outrun the media frenzy his relationships have become. Driving until the road stops, he ends up on the remote and quaint Perry Island, where a heartthrob can blend in like the locals and be a beach bum as long as he wants. All that changes when Evan meets Haven Owen, aspiring songwriter and the girl he just can’t get enough of. A summer romance turns into something much deeper and Evan gets tangled in his own web of lies to keep Haven in his life. But when his ex tracks him down, Evan learns there are some things you just can’t outrun.


Is the cost of love, losing all control?

The Duff Book & Movie Review

About the book: The Duff


Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn't think she's the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She's also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact, Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her "Duffy," she throws her Coke in his face.


But things aren't so great at home right now. Desperate for a distraction, Bianca ends up kissing Wesley. And likes it. Eager for escape, she throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with Wesley.


Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out that Wesley isn't such a bad listener, and his life is pretty screwed up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she's falling for the guy she thought she hated more than anyone.”


First of all I have to say that Kody Keplinger is a genius I LOVED this book and the whole idea of it, I read it in two days and those sleepless hours were totally worth it. And what I like the most about the book is that it’s a whole new idea is fresh and not a little cliche, plus I love me some Wesley Rush,also you can really relate to the characters in the book and what I think is the most important thing in the book is the message,it doesn't matter if your friends are prettier than you, or what other people says about you, as long as you know who you are, you just have to be true to yourself and nothing else should really matter.  


I also had the chance to watch a special early screening of the movie that was hosted by Robbie Amell aka Wesley Rush.


As a fangirl I had to admit that no matter what I will always say that the book was better that is just the way things have to be, but  this movie was really close to change that, The movie is based on the book but  there is a few changes, and I think that those changes made so much sense and the story that is told in the movie is so sweet and romantic instead of just hot and intense like the one in the book and I liked that  a lot because we actually get to see how Bianca and Wesley become a thing.


I think the cast is just perfect, I mean who better than Robbie Amell to play Wesley Rush? yeah, NOBODY!, and the coolest thing happened at the Screening because I got the chance to meet him and I've been such a big fan of his since I was a little girl, I also met his fiance and Chasing life’s star Italia Ricci and she was so nice and lovely!.


Mae Whitman as Bianca: She is so perfect for the role everything I imagine while reading the book.


Bella Thorne as Madison: I loved Bella as the mean girl, and I also laughed a lot with her role.


Bianca Santos as Casey:I like Bianca Santos a lot she has been on the fosters and happyland and I enjoy both shows and it’s always good to see a fellow Latina well represented on the big screen.


 Skyler Samuels as Jessica: Skyler  played the role really well and I think that her character in the movie was really close to how it was described in the book.

The movie is coming out on February 20 and I already have plans to see it again with my friends, because I liked it so much and highly recommend the movie to you all.

Keeping her by Cora Carmack

As you all know, after reading losing it by Cora Carmack I was totally in love with the book and did a book review on my YouTube Channel about it and you can check it out by clicking here.
 
After meeting in a super awkward situation and having  one of the most crazy and complicated relationship ever Bliss and Garrick somehow made it all work and end up together and I know we all end up wanting more of those two crazy love birds and Thanks God Cora Carmack did the right thing and wrote "Keeping her"  is a little sequel of the book where we get to experience more about Garrick and Bliss relationship now that they live together and most important when Garrick and Bliss  travel to London to meets his parents, Bliss is nervous and Garrick keeps telling her that everything is going to be alright but from the moment they land in London things start to get a little weird between them after seen how different they really are from each other, falling in love was  easy now they had to work to keep it.

This books is really awesome just like losing it, I really enjoyed it and I love the fact that there is mixed emotions and not everything is perfect and in this book we also get to see Garrick's Point of view.

Have you guys read it?, if not I really recommend it.

The book is  base on the story of a group of kids whose memories have been delete where put on a place call the maze and the only thing they know about themselves is their name, things are really in order, they have routines, everyone have their role, and this at the maze are pretty much the same everyday, but everything starts to change when Thomas shows up, everyone suspect that Thomas have something to do with it all, but what they don't know is that once they find out the truth, things will never be the same to them.
