Frenemy of the People

(no copyright intended)

Today I am going to review Frenemy of the People by Nora Olsen. Buy Me Here

I want to start off by saying thank you to Net Gallery and to the publisher. 

 As always I am a fan of books with POV, this one was just that and I enjoyed it.

The story is about two girls who are from two totally different worlds. Lexie is rebel, but has a good heart. She loves butterflies and the earth (so much that she decided she wanted to be vegan).  See Lexie is mad at the world or that how it seems at first....

" I hated everyone in school with the red- hot passion of a thousands suns"( 20). ( overall thought)

But then she meets Clarissa...


Clarissa is a lovable girl, she has a couple of  "good" friends in school. She has loving parents and a sister. But, then one day she became bi curious as they call it and her life changed from there.  Can Lexie  and Clarissa be girlfriends or will they be enemies forever!?

"  You are the worst girl in the entire universe"  (118).  ( Clarissa to Lexie)

I really enjoyed this book, I  felt I was watching a movie when I was reading. I also really enjoyed the amount of details  in the book. I am aware this is a book for LBGTQ community, but I think anyone can enjoy it with an open mind! 

Happy Fairy Tales

This book was cute, funny, and intense!

Minerva (main character) has not seen her father since she was two years old, but something happens when she finally does see him. You have to read to find out (;

She goes on these cute adventures with this guy she likes called Hayes.

" As the train pulled up to the next station, Haynes stood up and, without hesitating, stuck a crisp ten dollar bill between the pages of the boy's book. "

There are a lot of funny section of Finnegan (her best friend) and Minerva.
 Minerva is hiding something from her mom, so when her mom cleans her room:
       
                    " For heaven's sake, Minerva. You're  being ridiculous."
                    "I lashed out. " You don't have the right to mess with my things."
                     This book was amazing, please check it out.

Thanks to Net Gallery , I also read another book called "John Dreamer" by Elise Celine.

I enjoy reading this , because the whole story is a dream and  there are seven main characters. However, the narrator is Andrea and she does seem to be the main character ( this can be argued). What I really enjoyed about this book was how descriptive Celine was about each setting. I felt I was actually in their dream myself. However, the book was a little repetitive for the most part. That being said I really enjoyed the relationship of John and Andrea ( what happens to them both you must read to find out). I am so glad that this is series!

This book I am going to review next is one of my favorite series up to date. It is book 3 of UnEnchanted Series called Fable by Chanda Hahn.

We all know and love Mina, she is always trapped in these fairy tales. She has been trying to avoid the stories and did a good job succeeding. However, she can't finish the curse if she does not complete the stories. She tried to avoid the stories and now she has to suffer, HER BROTHER DIES! Is this real and if not can she save him and finally break the curse!?

"  I can't. You haven't finished your tale. You must defeat the Stiltskin to win your brother."

The first book of this series is free! The other two are $3.99 on Kindle  a steal if you ask me!

The NEW what?

(No copyright intended)

My review today is based on the novel above.

What I enjoyed

1. I like the fact, that you get to know about the characters in the town and their little stories. ( Thunder Point)
2. I like how Cee Jay appears out of nowhere  into these kids' life after years. (Drama and foolishness) 
3. My favorite character is Ashley , she deals with so much (Mostly Downy).  Her story line is intense and one of main reason why I actually kept reading this novel.

What I despised

1. I wanted to know more about Sarah  and her story line.  Just maybe, I just felt her too dull.
2. I wish Ashley and Eric story line was more developed. He could have been in the story earlier?
3. Spencer if you are the "Newcomer" why are you towards the end of the novel. * However, the third part of Thunder Point series is mostly based on him ( The Hero by Robyn Carr) . 

(Note - I did not read book one in Thunder Point series and I plan to do so. I will  hopefully read all of Thunder Point books! )

I really PUSHed myself to read this book

Let me start off by saying, I know a lot people value and respect this book (Push by Sapphire). I however, had a really hard time liking this book, because of the language. Not only is the book written in urban/slang style, but it is very brutally written. Take these two simple sentences as follows:

"Hmmm,", go fat black heifer and look at me. I don't believe this bitch no teacher.

The book is basically based on an illiterate teenager that has had a very bad childhood.I am aware that this book is written in the point of view of the main character who is illiterate, yet I still did not like it. She is writing from her thoughts and what seems to be her journal.  In the book you get to understand what is going on in Precious's head and the stuggles she faces. If you want to read this book for fun I don't recommend.Although, if you want to read a disturbing story about a young woman then sure pick up. Why not it is an easy read?
 PS- In 2009 the book became a movie called, "Precious" which became a hit here is the Lionsgate Trailer:

Tear-Jerking

WOW! 

I just finished reading the most emotional book I ever read in life (literally)! Yes, I cried it was that powerful.The book was called "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes.I will tell you little about the book, but I don't want to spoil it. YOU MUST READ IT. 

The main character , her name is Louisa Clark she is low key woman in her late twenties. She has a regular family that loves her and a long relationship with her boyfriend Patrick.Her life is just right, but things change once Frank (her ex boss) decides to close the cafe one afternoon with no notice what so ever.Now she must find a job that will help her family and herself. Her dad tells her mother, "There are no bloody jobs,Josie.You know that as well as I do.We're in the middle of a bloody recession" (9). When she finally finds a job that can help her family, there is more to it then she thinks.

She meets a man, named Will in her new job. He is a very strong character and the total opposite of Louisa. Their friendship becomes the unthinkable and she soon finds that change can in fact be a good thing.

What made me cry? You are going have to read the book to understand (;

This is a very short Ibook called "I'll be Home for Christmas" by Zane. This was a very quick read for sure! I however, enjoy this ibook because the plot is a very heart felt story about a young woman named Noelle whom ran away from home at a young age.You must read it to know why she run away...

I love this Ibook, "Throwaway" by Heather Huffman, because you step into the shoes of Jessie. She is the main character of the story, her life was never easy. One day Spence comes into her life and she believes this is her only life she can live. Until an outrageous twist occurs in the story... that just might change her whole life around.

Where do I begin....

"Where Dreams Begin" by Lisa Kleypas , I picked this book up awhile back and found the back very intriguing. It was not until I started to read the novel weeks ago that I found out the genre was under Historical Romance.  I had picked up this novel long ago but, found it quite dull. Still found it dull while reading it this time  here and there, the main reason, that Holland is too involved with her husband George (you must read the novel to understand).  One thing I truly disliked , was toward the end something drastic occurs! It beyond me why the author decided on this towards the last 50 pages or so. On the other hand, I really enjoyed Kleypas's details in graphic passages and her great development of characters. I felt as if each character I knew them personally! Overall, this historical romance was a joy to read.
