Faking Normal by Courtney C. Stevens
5.0
I thorughly enjoyed the book. I love the friendship between Bodee and Lex. But more importantly i love how precious it was to both of them. That really made my heart soar.
As far as the subject matter of this book, its always difficult to write and as a reader I think we sometimes expect a perfect an ending to be perfect and everything is okay. I like the ending of this its a gentle lul into a lake of good feelings.
The absolutely best part I think, is the fact that in this novel, you get to see how not alone she is, and how the people close to her can see her pain. I think their ability to see it, yet not push her to open up is very important especially to someone as stubborn ad Lex. In addition to that you get to see the burden lifted when she finally realized she didnt have to do it alone.
I myself may have expected this novel to be a little more like Speak, if you havent read it please do, but i do understand that not every victim is the same, some stop talking and some can't shut up. I think the fact that Lex held it together, is tragic but understandable given the circumstances.
Bodee himself is the victim we dont see very often. He himself is a victim that rarley getd talked about be cause he is a man. But its so important that we see his pain and tears. I love Bodee. He is my hero. He is strong and resilient and everything she needed.
They're complimentary.
I loved this book. I thought it was beautiful and in a way soft spoken.

Finally finished this book. I will say I have to read it again, at no fault to the authors it was my excitement that lead me to skim some areas. With my mistakes aside. Let's talk about the imagery, it was so vivid, it kept me at the edge of my seat. This book literally reads like a movie. The characters are loveable, and more importantly memorable.
I wish we got a little more information about the parents but I wouldn't be surprised if that came later.
This books is definitely different than that what I'm used to ready but, I am head over heels in love with Jonas.
I can't wait to read the second book, again I am going to re read it but overall 5 stars.

The Tied Man by Tabitha McGowan

I love everything about this book. It took me about 3 days to read it and it was a naik bitter.
I think this book was so tastefully written and so well thought out and thourough. Henry, Finn, and Lilith were sucha great characters to read, and watching the friendships within them grow was so enjoyable.
Lili was by far the best character throughout the book. She is truly a force yo be reckoned with and the moment she puts her mind to it, there's nothing you can do to change it.
And Finn, broke my heart and then single handedly put all the pieces together. He's such a strong man, and so damaged...well no even damaged beyond repair. Just a little broken, and thats where Lilith comes into play.
Blaine....that evil bitch (wait till you read it)

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

I can't pick out a single thing about about what I don't like about this book. I loved the way it was written. The suspence surround everything that happened and the way the book had men constantly question what I read was glorious.
The best part by far was the plot twist. I won't divulge any information, but I didnt see it coming. I didnt expect it, what I thought was going to happen didnt.
I was just mind blown. In a way that I hadn't been in a very very very Long time.
This book is so worth the read. I finished it in about 6 days. But thats because I took some days off.
Overall, the book was outstanding.

Lumière by Jacqueline Garlick

i read somw reviews that states this book was boring. Personally, Im not sure we were reading the same book. I was completely intrigue by the end of the prologe.
i loved this book, because of the characters. the plot is amazing as well. im normally not in to the whole zombie apocolyptic scene, however this boders right at the beginning of that idea and just enough to keep me interested. The developement is steady, uncovering just enough where i couldnt put it down.
ulrick and eyelet.....long store short. Theres part in this book that actually made me laugh outlout. Their playful banter, their own personal little ticks make these characters extremely real. there were times during the book that eyelet would do, and i'd think that if i were in the same situation I'd do the same thing.
i really do think this book was beautifully written, and very well written. The action and suspense were so believe albeit at times very long, theres nothing i would change. The only problem i have now is decideding if i want to start noir right away.

Absolutely loved this book. Very well written and absolute page turner. I wasn't really looking for romance but the romance here was perfect a subtle. The character are relatable and different.
