FRANK DESERVED BETTER. That’s it, that’s all I feel strongly about. Beth was honestly a selfish cheating lying self centered narcissist. She cheated that man out of a good like that he so clearly deserved. She was insufferable and yes, I cannot comprehend her grief so I’m sure that some of what she did might be her in grief, but 90% of everything else was her being a selfish person.

This book was enjoyable as well as predictable. It didn’t completely throw me off, but I did feel like I was able to predict most of what was going to happen.

I never know how to write memoirs because I always feel like it is wrong to rate these books, but this book was actually really intriguing and very informative. I’ve always listened to
System Of A Down, so when I heard that Serj came out with a memoir. I jumped at the opportunity. I finally got around to reading it and honestly, I enjoyed myself. I found myself wanting to learn more about what he talks about in the book and it was overall a pleasant time. I did feel like I learned a lot more about him as a person and also about his band and how system of a down came to be and everything that contributes with the band. I felt more connected to them, and it made me appreciate them individually as well.

Okay, at first I was very put off by the book. I was a bit unsure but I went back and tried it again, stuck through and finished it. I did think the whole relationship moved quickly but I enjoyed them two together. I think the x.x of the perv was what brought them together but otherfor the most part but I had fun with it.
I cannot with this book. Bother’s best friend is one of my favorite tropes but this one was not it at all. It felt so desperate and embarrassing, Aspen was forcing her love onto Izaac and getting all mad and hurt that he didn’t reciprocate her feelings. Not only was she upset that he didn’t reciprocate her feelings, she called him a coward and told him he was being dumb, when it was her who was acting desperate and stupid.

I still feel the heartache and pain that I went through with the first book. I did enjoy being able to see Joey‘s point of view and finally understand what he was going through when everything was happening, which you can kind of already guess by the first book, but it gives you a deeper understanding of everything that he was going through. This book made me despise his mom so much because of how much she allowed everything to happen. I hate that she would always compare him to his dad when he had nothing to do with him thankfully, he was able to turn things around for not only himself, but for his little family. Overall I enjoyed the book and I feel a little satisfied how it turned out.

Honestamente no se como me siento sobre este libro. Ya se que es una historia de hermanastros pero eso no me desvío, lo que me no me gusto fue el carácter que Noah tuvo con Nicolas. Apenas y lo conoció y ya empezó con sus berrinches. Eso es lo que me pareció de todo el libro, ella se enojaba de la situación en que la pusieron y se desquitaba con Nicolas sin que el tuviera nada que ver. Me pareció ella a una niña berrinchuda por la mayoría de la historia.

It was definitely a book that I am not used to reading, but I actually appreciated that. This felt like a dystopian world, but at the same time I feel as though I read it at the appropriate time because of everything that is currently happening and all the hate and rage towards women, though we know since the beginning and throughout the entire book that this isn’t gonna be a happy ending, regardless, I still felt happy for her because she was able to in a sense finish off her own story

I really like the first book Lights Out, and I was sure this book was gonna be the same or better and I wasn’t fully disappointed, but I wasn’t blown away. I understood the concept of the book and what she wanted to do with it, but I don’t think it was fully executed the whole part about her being a cam girl was okay to me, but there were some parts within that whole conversation just made it feel a little murky, and sometimes she would really piss me off. I loved her dog and I think he is my favorite character in the whole book but overall I felt like I needed something deeper and darker because that’s what the first book gave me.

This book honestly aggravated me since the moment I started reading it. I was hoping that it was gonna be different than what was thinking it was gonna be, but it ended up just clearly disappointing me I didn’t like the main character. I didn’t like any of side characters and I also didn’t like the plot of it, the whole plot for me since the beginning was very hard to get into and it took me a really long time to actually want to go back to reading this book, but I got through it because I wanted to read it for my book club.
