Hi, hope you enjoy my recent review 🙂

Synopsis – Emma Saylor doesn’t remember a lot about her mother, who died when Emma was twelve. But she does remember her mum’s stories about the big lake.

Now it’s just Emma and her dad until Emma Is sent to spend the summer with her mother’s family, who she hasn’t seen for years. When Emma arrives, she realises her mother grew up in working class North Lake, while her dad spent summers in the wealthier Lake North resort. The more time Emma spends there, the more it feels like she is divided into two people. To her father, she is Emma. To her new family, she is Saylor, the name her mother called her.

Then there’s Roo, the boy who was her best friend when she was little. Roo holds the key to her family’s history, and slowly he helps her put the pieces together about her past.

For Emma Saylor, it’s like a whole new world is opening up. But when it’s time to go back home, which side of her- Emma or Saylor? – will win out?

I loved this book! I even think is has become my number one novel by Sarah Dessen. That girl can write a good YA book. It had love, drama and friendship. Emma Saylor is a seventeen-year-old who finds her self-identity when she visits her mother’s family.  The plot got going straight away which I love in a good book.

Good Points-

All the characters I liked and the interaction between them all. I wanted to scream into the book when Emma Saylor dad was being overprotective haha. It flowed really well, and the drama was built good. I have to have good endings in books, and this didn’t disappoint it was a really sweet end to a fab book.

The following of Emma Saylor finding more about her mother was really interesting and as a reader I felt I was a part of the journey which I really liked 😊

Bad points-

No bad points for me! Just how quick can Sarah Dessen do a new Novel haha.

Overall, I would recommend reading this book it has become my new fav Sarah Dessen book and it is an easy read which is enjoyable.

PS. Saylor name win for me 😊

Thanks for Reading

Hi, this is short story I’m working on to complete and share. Hope you enjoy 🙂

She was running and not looking back. One look, One heart, One chance. Lily was crunching the leaves in between her feet as she ran and ran for her life! No one knew expect her, what the danger was, it was gaining on her. Rain began to fall, drop by drop until nothing. Lily slowed down as the sun shined through the branches that’s when she knew her fate was sealed.

Thanks for reading 🙂 Happy writing

Book Review!

Synopsis-

Stella Grant likes to be in control- even though her totally out-of-control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. What Stella needs to control most is her distance from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart.  No exceptions.

The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of his hospital. In one week he’ll turn eighteen, and then he’ll be able to unplug himself from all these machines and actually go see the world.

Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. But now six feet apart doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment. What if they could steal back just a little space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?

5*

Good Points –

This book was such a good read it had humour, heartache and love. The book provided two people who couldn’t touch one another and the relationship begins to grow making it harder not to touch. It makes you more aware of cystic fibrosis and what it is like for people to go through. It came across so well in the books. All the characters were so well placed and fitted into the story so well. I liked that each chapter was from different perspectives like one was Stella and then Will it was nice to see different views of the story from each of the characters. It made me want to cry (p.s- I am normally heartless ha-ha) so have your tissues at the ready.

Fav Quotes-

“It’s just life. It’ll be over before we know it.”

“I smile at him, and take just that one more stolen step, until we’re five feet apart.”

Bad Points-

I don’t have anything bad to say about this book as it took me on the journey of laughter, love and heartache. It was really a good book and nothing in my view was bad about it.

Overall-

This book is definitely worth a read and I look forward to watching the film adaptation to compare it to the book.

Thanks for Reading 🙂

Hi new book review in the immortal series I am reading 🙂

3* Rating

Synopsis-

Ever and Damen have travelled through countless past lives in search of each other. But just when their destiny seems finally within reach, a powerful curse falls upon them.  A single touch of their hands, a brush of their lips will mean death for Damen- cast into the darkness of the Shadowland. Then Ever meets Jude, a mysterious green-eyed golden surfer boy who understands magyck- and Ever- better than she does herself. She thought Damen was her destiny- but what if fate has other plans?

Good Points-

The new character of Jude sets new challenges for Ever and it tests her relationship with Damen. Roman still up to no good in his twisted games adding the excitement to the story.  The romance storyline through the books so far is well written into the storyline and gives the new excitement of challenges testing their love for one another.  I still love the sass of the twins in the book and looking forward to see where story goes in the next book.

Bad Points-

The book do only have a hint of fantasy such as the magic elements throughout and this is why I give it a lower rating of 3/5*. This is only my opinion as I do love more fantasy throughout the books I read. It still takes a while to get into the plot of the book as the second half is the best parts which I then have to push myself to read further on.

Overall-

This book was good in the new introducing of new characters and the new challenges for Ever and Damen relationship. However, it takes a while to get into the good parts of the book and there are limited fantasy elements in my opinion.

Thanks for Reading! 🙂
