The absolute, I mean absolute, best book I have ever read. I am not sure how Taylor Jenkins Reid did this, but she is an astounding author. This book keeps you on your feet at all pages. It leaves you emotional but hopeful. I was left knowing this book would leave an imprint on my life forever. Truly life-changing for me.

It wasn’t much to me because it doesn’t have much intensity in the plot, nothing shocking that keeps you reading. I think this is because the characters are hard to love and understand so you don’t feel connected to any deaths or turning points in the plot.

Much better then Twilight. This is definitely my favorite out of the series. It is a long book but it never leaves you bored, it full of plot.

To start off I watched the movies first lol. This book contained a lot of direct parallels to the movies that were written well. A lot of scenes that I didn’t remember from the movies though that were eh. Some parts were down right cringy, coming from a romance fan. May I add though, some parts were really heartwarming and passionate! Overall a half and half book and hoping New Moon is a good as I hope it to be!

Really did not have much to it. The plot was dry and the characters were hard to love. It was just a typical coming of age easy read.

A nice read mixed with a little romance and adventure. The book is heavily dystopian but is very interesting and keeps you intrigued.
