The Score by Elle Kennedy
4.0
- Since I skipped Logan's book I'm mostly gonna compare this one with Garrett's.
This one was indeed a fun read. Dean was my favourite character back when I was reading "The deal" and I'm not disappointed at all. This guy was everything I hoped for him to be. The storyline is less of a cliché comparing to "The deal". With dean and allie, things were more complex and I liked their ups and downs so much. Ellie's character was intense and the way she could easily keep it up with dean's sarcasm and unique way of communicating was a total pleasure to read. Their sexual relationship was also a "pleasure" to read *winks* duo to their interesting characters. And I liked it even better than hannah and garet's.
Though I have to mention that sometimes the whole "I'm a rich kid, there's nothing in my life that makes me sad" that dean kept talking about made me (a bit) annoyed. I totally wanted to see him break down or something. (That means I totally enjoyed the almost-last chapters...) I also have to mention that elle kennedy knows exactly how to write a man you could easily fall in love with because DAMMIT Dean Sebastian Kendrick Heyward Di-Laurentis is indeed the kind of guy you fall for in the blink of an eye.(this guy made me smile and blush like a total idiot throughout the entire book.)
I'll probably skip tucker's story too. Let's just say I'll drop the whole series after this one. eventhough I totally enjoyed Garrett and Dean's story, that's the end for me folks.

آخرین آرزو by Andrzej Sapkowski

من تا قبل از دیدن سریال the witcher هیچ آشنایی‌ای با دنیای بازی و کتابش نداشتم.
در نتیجه باید بگم که اگه سریالش رو نمی دیدم، احتمالاً هیچی از کتاب نمی فهمیدم.
این کتاب در واقع مجموعه داستان‌های کوتاهیه، از ماجراهایی که برای گرالت اتفاق افتاده.
کرکترها آنچنان معرفی نمیشن و عملاً جوریه که انگار شما باید از قبل آشنا باشید باهاشون.
مدل روایت یکم گیج کننده‌ست و طول میکشه دستتون بیاد چی به چیه.
از ترجمه آنچنان راضی نبودم هرچند که به نظر میرسید مترجم تمام تلاشش رو کرده تا واضح ترجمه کنه.
به طور کلی، برای کسی که با دنیاش آشنایی نداره، بهتره که اول سریالش رو ببینه. بعد اگر خیلی علاقمند بود، کتابش رو بخونه.(دست کم برای من این ترتیب جواب داد.)
هرچند که من سراغ جلدهای بعدی نمیرم.

I believe I do not have enough English vocabulary in my system to fully express how I feel about this book. And ironically, I don't have enough Persian vocabulary to express my feelings about it, either. It's just me and my inability to talk about this book truly the way it deserves to be talked about against the whole world.
(Somehow I still managed to write a very long review, it appears I'm just words and no action.)
At the very start, I must announce that this book is so fucking personal and here's the main reason why: Henry.
Honestly, there is no secret that this guy is the emo version of me. His thoughts, His interests and how he carries himself in the world is basically how I would've been if I let all this thoughts and emotions out of my system. Believing that I actually have someone that believes in me, someone who tells me it's okay to exist and just be who I am. So when I talk about RWARB, I'm talking about love, self-acceptance and bravery.
• It would've been nice if the "enemies" part lasted a bit longer. They bonded a bit too fast for my liking. But it just shows how good of a match they were for one another, if only they would've talked things through from the start.
• At some point, some stuff seemed too ideal. Eventhough it makes me happy just thinking about how good the world could be if they were true, but realistically speaking? They seem so out of reach these days. I had to keep reminding myself that it's just a book. It's a fantasy. It's a fairytale. The real world, is the main reason why you are reading this in the first place, darling.
• Their emails. Their. Fucking. Emails. I just know that I will read them again and again till the day I die. True pieces of art and literature. How well they described love, longing and loneliness. All those quotes from famous historical characters, how they kept telling themselves that someday, they're gonna have their own piece of history too.
Those were my favourite parts of this lovely little love story. History, huh?
• Allot of issues were discussed in this book and I want to give my biggest Salute to Casey McQuiston for how well they handled them all. The grief of losing someone close to you at a young age was described so damn well I almost cried at how accurate it was.
Trying my best to keep this short, this was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster for me. I laughed and ugly cried. Fell in love and felt hatred, but most importantly, I lived this book and I'm so glad I had the chance to be part of their journey.
To my baby Henry, Prince of Wales,
You're the bravest son of a bitch I know.
Never let them take that away from you.
