A Beautiful Funeral by Jamie McGuire

“When love was real, so was forever.”

I'm literally in tears right now.
My emotions are all over the place.



Getting to be a fan of this series, a part of the whole family, and someone who has been emotionally engaged to the stories right from the beginning had made it so hard to accept what happened.
Although there were parts that annoyed me, where first:
Cami and Trenton finding out the truth immediately about Thomas's plan and overreacting every time someone mentions more "secrets", I mean come on. The family isn't in a situation now where everyone starts competing and splitting apart
, and second:
they had to kill off Olive?!?! Just like that. WHY! and then not even mentioning her funeral, and jumping off to Jim's final funeral ignoring the fact that her death affected Trenton, Cami, Falyn and Taylor! I mean, for reals?


Overall, I just couldn't let go of it easily. Of course I can't elaborate more about who was it, reasons, plot twists, BUT I gotta say that the last chapter was my faaaavorite, and it shattered my heart into pieces. It was indeed a beautiful funeral, I couldn't help but sob at the ending.

Thank you very much [a:Jamie McGuire|4464118|Jamie McGuire|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1479315727p2/4464118.jpg] for writing such a beautiful closure <3 I felt belonged to everything they've been through, joy and sorrow, each word in every sentence felt so real.

“All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.”

Okay this is soooooo dark and intense!!! I didn't expect that at all!!! Freaking awesome, definitely one of my favorite comic books.
Now I'm hesitant to watch the animated movie, I don't want the story to get ruinedddd.. it's a masterpiece!!

The Riddler working with Batman in a case? That was quite interesting, didn't see it coming at all!
Generally, there aren't any development in the storyline regarding Harley's disappearance, except getting an idea about a group of homicides.

"There are secret of the batman that must remain forever untold." Of course! No one knows batman better than the two main women who have been in his life, Catwoman and Talia.
And THAT ENDING though!!!!!!
Okay the storyline is starting to become more interesting! Now I'm having high expectation for this series.

I've been planning to start reading Harley Quinn (The New 52) since forever! One of my all time favorite female villains in DC comics!
It was a veeery fast read, however, there was NOTHING new added since it's the just volume #0, except enjoying seeing her drawn by seventeen different talented comics artists, where each has its own short story and own version of Ms. Quinn. I gotta say that it was funny at some points and cheesy in others lol
But oh well, she's Harley and I freaking love her!
Excited to see how the plots in this series will be developing!

That's it?!! Ok. What then??!!

Gillian Flynn had done it again. I honestly don't know how does she come up with all those thrilling, mysterious and twisted story lines in her books!

Even though the story was extremely short, I actually enjoyed it very much! It was gripping right from the beginning, so terrifying and hella creepy! It's just like the type of stories you watch in horror movies.
It was a bit expected at the beginning but then it gets so twisted. At the end it leaves you with an open ending to keep you guessing to choose your own conclusions.
