Thank you for proving to me that it's not just a fairy tale.
I can't express how much I love the Perfect Chemistry books and what an amazing writer Simone Elkeles is. This is seriously a perfect book. I have nothing to object and I literally read it non-stop. I had to stop for a few hours basically because my mom made me go somewhere with her but I still read in the car and anytime I could.
Is it just me or do the Fuentes brothers get hotter and hotter?!?!?!
HOLLY FUENTES!!! I'm actually one of the few people that got to read this book the very first day it came out!!!! Freaking out!!
I loved that this book felt like a big family reunion. At least that's how it felt to me. Alex and Brit took a big part in this book and so did Carlos and Kiara. It felt amazing and I just loved how we finnaly got to see the Fuentes brothers (all three of them) well ... together.
Simone Elkeles is seriously a genius. She kept me on the edge the whole time and I had no idea what was going to happen next. I think she should be as popular as J.K.Rowling because she is a frickin' GENIUS!! I know I say that a lot but really, she is!
Ok now to the spoilery part. I'm warning you...
**********SPOILERS^**********
I loved, loved, loved the fact that as any other Fuentes, Luis thought his brothers couldn't help him deal with the LB. Alex was kinda alone, being the oldest brother but Carlos dealt with it by himself (mostly) and so did Luis until his brothers came to the rescue.
I loved how Nikki was the one who shot Chuy. That part seriously blew me away. It was just amazing to see her, an insecure girl who would've normally not touch a gun in her life shoot a big bad gangbanger just so Luis doesn't get killed.
I look behind me. The shooter is standing in the doorway, the smoking gun shaking in her hand. Nikki. She drops the gun. She's hyperventilating as I pull her into my arms.
"I couldn't let him hurt you ... I had to ...," she cries out.
I loved when Carlos says "There's always time for arguin' when you're a Fuentes."
Loved when they had a Panty Discus championship, the three brothers with their girlfriends/wife. It was so hilarious!!
"I'm not playing something that's named Panty Discus," Brittany exclaims. "I know you explained what it meant, but it still sounds dirty."
"What does the winner get?" Brittany asks.
"Bragging rights," Carlos explains. "Which in my family is worth more than money." He turns to Kiara. "We better win, mamacita."
At this part I actually laughed out loud.
"Come on, Brit, I got full faith in you to pull this one out," Alex says to Brittany. "Twirl it faster now. Damn, girl, you look hot doin' that."
...
"What. The. Hell. Was. That?" Alex asks, sucking in a breath.
Brittany huffs and cries out, "You said I looked hot and it tottaly threw me off."
And Carlos and Kiara were hilarious as usual too.
"You takin' notes, Kiara?"
"I'm to busy w-w-watching your muscles flex," she says.
He wags his eyebrows at her, then whips the Panty Discus with all he's got and it lands a yard or so farther than Alex's toss. Carlos yelps out another war cry and kisses his new found army muscles. "Army strong, suck'ahs!"
The way Luis describes his cousin Elena was just too much. Another proof that Simone Elkeles is a genius.
Eveything about Elena is big. She's got big hair, a big personality, and ... well, let's just say she doesn't need silicone implants.
Yet another thing that I love about this series is how each one of the brothers falls in love too hard too fast but with the right person. I always loved how they wanted to protect Brittney/Kiara/Niki from the LB and the Latino Bloods took this as their advantage.
"Nikki is your weakness, Luis."
And another part where I laughed out loud.
I feel Luis's eyes on me, so I look up. He licks his lips suggestively. I would roll my eyes, but instead I decide to give him a wink/smile back and lick my own lips to throw him off balance.
"Dude!" Derek yells. "You just spilled acid on your arm!"
My eyes go wide as Luis sucks in a breath, then curses in Spanish as he rushes to the emergency shower in the back of the classroom. I run after him in a panic.
And just cause I need to mention it: I would love to have Mrs. P as a teacher (matchmaker).
You can tell how much I love this book just by reading this review (biggest review I've ever written) that I've been writing for at least 45 minutes. (:
UPDATE #1 (And I said Update #1 because I'm sure there'll be a lot more):

But all i can say is that this book deserves 1000000000* stars and that Cassandra Clare is one of the few authors if not the only who can rip my heart in two, then sew it back and the tear the stitches leaving a fresh wound once more.
Pre-book release: I NEED to read this ASAP!!!!! (less)

I loved him so much and Rose leaves him telling him they aren't in sync?! What the hell?!?!?! Once again for everyone who didn't get it yet: I LOVE ADRIAN!!! I still couldn't bring myself to not give this book 5 stars. The plot was great, the character development is amazing... The book itself is absolutely amazing. I have no words. I just hoped that when Rose jumped to protect Lissa (I figured sth like that would happen) Dimitri would jump to save her and it would be a noble "I love you, Rose" kind of death. And she would still love him in the bottom of her heart and never forget him but she would be with Adrian and everyone (meaning especially me) would be happy. But noooo! Richelle Mead had other plans in her mind. *sigh* I just hope we'll get more of Adrian in the spin off series. Well... I'll just read/write more fanfiction about Adrian and forget the horrible ending. Oh My Gosh!!! I still can't believe he left (Yeah, I'm a crazy fangirl)(less)

There are books that you like but fall asleep while reading them at night because they are not captivating enough. This book is not like that. This is the kind of book that keeps you up all night, the kind of book that turns hours into minutes and minutes into seconds and you have no idea what time it is but you know you MUST finish the book and find out what happens next. It' s the kind of book that you are scared to finish because you don't want it to end and when you do finish it you feel incredibly excited and sad at the same time. This is a book where you smile dumbly when the main character is happy and feel an ache in your heart when the heroine is sad. I must say I haven't read a book like this in a while and I am extremely happy that I picked it up and read it.
This is honestly the best angel book I have read, better than Hush Hush or Halo or anything else. I loved the fact that Clara was only part angel so it didn't feel like she was an angel trying to act like a human, how it is in other angel stories. Also, the fact that part angels didn't get to meet God was a good idea, in my point of view, because the subject of God and 'full' angels was still something mysterious, like it should be.
The character development throughout the book was amazing. (view spoiler)[ I loved how Christian was introduced to us as the perfect boy, Clara's dream guy who she was supposed to save and live a happily ever after with. But when she met him, despite the incredible attraction and the sparks they felt when they touched, things didn't go as planned because Christian had a girlfriend and didn't really seem that interested in Clara. And then Tucker is the guy who seems to dislike Clara from the moment they meet and Clara didn't seem very fond of him either. Teasing and bickering follows, and after some time they seem to get along better. Wendy, Tucker's twin sister and Clara's best friend, tells Clara that Tucker teases her because he likes her, but Clara is so sure that Christian is her soulmate that she doesn't give this much thought. However, when Christian leaves for the summer and all of Clara's friends do the same Clara gets to spend more time with Tucker and they fall in love. (hide spoiler)]
In my point of view it is hard as a writer to make your readers love a character in the beginning of the book and then make your readers love a character that didn't seem that important in the beginning even more. And it's something that not a lot of writers manage to do. Sometimes the character development happens to fast and it seems as if the character becomes a totally different person. This was not the case with Unearthly.
There are just so many things I loved about this book. I highly recommend it to any young adult paranormal romance lover. :)
Lastly, I want to say bravo to Cynthia Hand for being an amazing author! I will definitely read more of her work in the future! (less)

Merged review:
How do I even begin to explain this book... Maybe I should start with how I felt after reading it. It was something along the lines of:
Or let me explain how I felt about Daemon...
Now on with my little ramble. I saw all the fuss around this book on goodreads and on basically any other book blog for a while ago but I never felt that this book was a must-read. I don't know for what reason but in my mind this couldn't be that good of a book. And boy, was I wrong! I liked Daemon from the first page I read about him. Seriously, how can you resist a fictional temperamental, rude, uber-hot bad boy?! You can't! And I like how Jennifer Armentrout took the whole Alien concept and made it her own. The whole light idea was pure genius. And it felt like something new and fresh, not a regular book about little green creatures who traveled in their little flying saucer to invade planet Earth. It felt like the whole book was planned out (because, honestly, some authors these days just write haphazardly and it feels like the whole book doesn't even have a clear plotline) Anyway, I really liked Obsidian and I liked Jennifer's writing style so I recommend this book to paranormal romance lovers. I'm pretty sure you'll like it! (:(less)
Richelle said in a interview something like the main relationship of the book not being completely clear until the second book and my guess is that in the first book Adrian is still 'recovering' after Rose broke his heart and Syd helps mend his broken heart. I think that things will get more serious in the second book. (less)

I liked America immediately and all her family and I fell in love with Aspen and then just as quickly I fell in love with Maxon. Perfectly lovable characters. Secondly, can I just say I LOVE the whole idea of a "Selection". It may sound stupid but I would totally be one of the first girls to try and participate in such a thing. Nevertheless, the ending of this book is completely cruel and it's extremely barbaric of an author to do such a thing to its readers. I can only say one thing: I need the next book ASAP!
PS: I'm 'team' Maxon (how can you not love him?) (less)

Big time. I still wasn't 100% into it so I can't put it on my favorites shelf but I can give it 5 stars. I felt like the action was more fast paced in this one and honestly, I don't really know why I liked this book better than the first one but I just did. Anyway, to express my feeling right now I need to write my kind of a 'review': a loooong ramble.
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! DON'T READ UNLESS YOU READ THE BOOK! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! (mwhahahaha)
(view spoiler)[ OMGHHKP! She chose Ash! My dear, dear Puck! I literally bawled my eyes out when I read that part. I get that Ash loved her and all and that he'd rather live in the mortal world than not be with Meghan but WHY?! WHY?! WHYYYY, DID YOU GO WITH HIM, MEGHAN?!?!?!?! Why didn't you stay with Puck?!!!!
I'm probably one of the 1% percent that loves Puck more than Ash but gawhhhh! I wanted Meghan to stay with Puck (in case that wasn't clear yet). I'm too emotionally wrecked to write a proper review so bear with me while I am rambling.
Poor Puck must be just as much as a wreck as me :( <- that tiny sad face does not express my feelings well enough.
*sigh* I just can't wait to read the next book and see what happens. If Julie dares to kill Puck I'll fly over to wherever she is and ... and... do something bad!

I don't think I've EVER devoured a book like this one. I finished it in a couple of hours. In this second novel the story is told from Carlos Fuentes' - Alex's little bro; currently 17- point of view. This book has Everything (and I mean it) you would want in a book. I would give it 100 stars if I could. I recommend this book to every teen or YA lover out there, although some scenes are rather more mature. (less)

Not the I-can't-stand-to-read-this-anymore kind of boring but the book didn't really seem to have a certain breaking point. Before reading the book I read a review of the book by someone who had a low oppinion on the book and said that the author said "pressing her lips together" far too many times. I thought it was an exageration but it turns out that it really wasn't. The same patterns were reapeated over and over iin the book and it got really annoying. By the end of the book I thought that the author did a better character construction on Ever's sister than on Ever, the main character. (less)

I feel like this book was absolutely perfect for the finale of a series. The ending of the book tied all the loose ends together and puts all the pieces of the puzzle that is The Infernal Devices into place so we get to see what a truly beautiful story this is. However, the ending was as tragic as beautiful. MAJOR SPOILERS! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE BOOK! (view spoiler)[ I loved how Tessa and Will had a life together and how Will died of old age and Jem came at his bedside to say farewell and played the violin one last time. I also loved how in the end, Tessa gets to share her life with Jem too and it broke my heart into pieces when he told her to meet her on Blackfriars Bridge every year. And lastly, when Jem gave up being immortal it was beautiful because that meant that he will be joining Will when he died and they will be reunited again. However, I cannot feel anything but pity for Tessa who, even though she got to share her life with not one but two amazing men whom she both loved very much, will have to spend an eternity alone.
Now, throughout the book I laughed, I cried and I fell in love with these characters more and more with every turn of the page. I absolutely adored Cecily and Gabriel and I'm pretty sure they are my second favourite couple of the book after Will and Tessa. Also, Cecily might have just become my favourite character in this series (if not, she and Tessa are both at the top of my favourite characters list). She proved to be headstrong, brave, witty and funny just like her brother and a true shadowhunter. I could see why Gabriel was fascinated by her and every scene with these two was my favourite scene. Gideon and Sophie's storyline was just as amazing - Sophie deserved a man who loves her as much as Gideon after what she'd been through and Gideon's proposal was absolutely perfect. Also, Sophie's uprising, though unexpected, was a very pleasant turn in the book and since Sophie has always been so courageous and loyal and fought alongside Charlotte and the shadowhunters, her uprising was well deserved. Now, moving on to Henry and Charlotte, I must say that Cassie gave me quite a scare and I truly thought that Henry had died in battle but I was elated to find out that wasn't so. Henry is genuinely one of my favourite characters from this series and I am glad to find that there was a happy ending for him, Charlotte and little Charles Buford Fairchild as well. (hide spoiler)]
There were many surprises in this book and after just having finished reading it the only way I could describe it was: shocking! It is a horribly beautiful and beautifully horrible book and it totally deserves 5* stars.
Now, here are some of my favourite parts of the books. Beware, they are extremely spoilery! (view spoiler)[ - Will and Jem's meeting - The Demon Pox Crisis
"Gabriel Lightwood is downstairs, and I have two words for you. Two of your favourite words, at least when you put them together." "Utter simpleton?" inquired Will. "Worthless upstart?" Jem grinned. "Demon pox," he said.
- Jem seeing Tessa in her wedding dress - Gabriel first seeing Cecily - Lightworm - Cecily fighting as a shadowhunter for the first time - Jem 'dying for love' - Gideon's scones - Henry inventing the portal (and glitter) - Woolsey saying that Will loves Tessa out loud - Magnus giving Will the pendant (which is now Isabelle's) - Bridget's perfectly timed songs - Gideon and Gabriel's letters to the Consul - Gabriel observing Cecily's knife throwing skills and teaching her how to hold a sword - Will putting his hands in the fire to save some of the yin fen - Jem's song for Tessa
It was like I saw your soul in the notes of the music. And it was beautiful.
- Will admitting his feelings for Tessa and Tessa almost saying she loves him too - Will finding Magnus 'easy to talk to' and treating Magnus like a person, not like a downworlder - Jem hearing Magnus and Will's conversation where Will said he was in love with Tessa - Jem saying that he would not have married Tessa, had he known Will loved her too - Jem telling Will to go and do something he cannot do: save Tessa - Jem and Will's incredible bond
If there is life after this one, let me meet you in it, James Carstairs.
- Will telling Cecily that he will go home to visit their parents when he comes back from saving Tessa - Magnus
"All Lightwoods look the same to me"
- Jem wanting to live to see Charlotte's baby - Cecily and Gabriel's heart-to-heart
Perhaps, Gabriel Lightwood,I have faith in you.
- Will's bleeding parabatai rune (aka Jem's 'death') - Gideon's spontaneous proposal - Sophie wanting to murder Bridget - Will finding Tessa - Will's declaration of love
I am catastrophically in love with you.
- Jem knowing his way with Tessa's corset but Will having no idea how it comes off (who would have thought?) - Gabriel saying the same things Will would have - Jem being a Silent Brother - Gabriel being afraid that Cecily will return home & their kiss
"Cecy?" he said again, his voice hoarse. "Five," she said. Her lips and cheeks were flushed but her gaze was steady. "Five?" he echoed blankly. "My rating," she said and smiled at him. "Your skill and technique may, perhaps, require work, but the native talent is certainly there. What you require is practice." "Are you willing to be my tutor?" "I should be very insulted if you chose another," she said, and leaned in to kiss him again.
- Charlotte leaving Will to take over the institute - Jem's promise to Tessa to meet her every year on Blackfriars bridge - Will and Jem's farewell - Sophie's uprising - Charles Buford Fairchild - Will courting Tessa - Will giving Tessa a copy of A Tale of Two Cities as a present & his letter - Magnus leaving for New York with Church - Jessamine's ghost - Will's proposal
Marry me. Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself, but marry me and stay with me and never leave me, for I cannot bear another day of my life to go by that does not have you in it.
- Will, Tessa, Gabriel and Cecily visiting the Herondales

After a few pages I really started to get into the book and really like it but the end totally left me flabbergasted and well ... Quite mad - i don't really like when a book doesn't end the way i want it to.
****spoilers**** first of all the character development throughout the book was just huge. That's not normally a bad thing but here it seemed like every single character suffered a transformation and turned into somebody else. I wanted Todd and Fiona to get along better and when they did i really wanted them to be together cause Amanda was portrayed as a bitch up to that point. But suddenly Amanda is emotional an jealous of Fiona and then turns really nice. ( let me just say: WHAT ON EARTH?!) And we also find out that Mar has been dating Gabe all along and (after being heartbroken) Fiona says that maybe Gabe is the one for mar but SURPRISE SURPRISE!!! ; gabe turns out to be a total asshole. And don't let me get started with Jonny. He didn't appear so much throughout the book but in the end Fiona is in love with him... Okay. I didn't like that.
All in all I really liked the concept of the book and even how it was written but the storyline and character development went into a whole different direction than i expected.

That thing is certain. Or rather, I wasn't that into it in the beginning and I put it down and after some time started reading it again and kept doing that during 5 whole months. And it's hard to like a book when you stop reading it and read something else and then continue and read another chapter and so on.
Just to be clear, this was totally a 3.5 star book for me. I wasn't sure if I should give it 3 or 4 stars but I settled for 4 in the end. The last chapters of this book weren't horrible (meaning that I kinda enjoyed them).
However, one problem I have is Ash. I mean Ash... where should I start. Everyone was swooning over Ash and he was the main reason why I picked this book. I heard people compare him to Jace or Will. No. I mean, no way is Ash anything like Jace or Will. I can say I'm 100%, hands down, team Puck. I just didn't like Ash that much. He just seemed plain to me. I guess the whole I-want-to-kill-you-but-then-I-fall-in-love-with-you thing got old for me.
Ash -> dull (sorry Ash fans, that's just my opinion) Puck on the other hand, is suck a lively and interesting character. I read the last half of this book wanting to get more of Puck. WHY, JULIE KAGAWA, WHY, WON'T YOU WRITE MORE ABOUT PUCK?!!! I was highly disappointed. Maybe I expected too much of this book, I don't know.
Anyway, I gave this book 4 stars hoping that the Iron Daughter will be better and I will read the second book just because I am curious to see what happens with Puck.(less)

I spent about five minutes thinking what rating I should give this book which is weird because usually after finishing a book I know exactly what rating to give it. This was not the case here. Still, I couldn't give this book 3 stars but I couldn't bring myself to give it 5 either.
The first half of the book was flawless. Absolutely flawless! I fell in love with Jordan's team mates and even though Jordan and I had NOTHING in common - I'm not even 2% a tomboy - I fell in love with Jordan too. I wish I had friends like Henry and JJ and Carter and I was totally sure that this was going to be a 5 star book and a favorite for me.
Then, Jordan finds out that Henry has been in love with her and she is torn between two guys and that was okay with me. I liked how the author built up this complicated relationship because that's how real relationships are. It's not all smiles and happy endings. I was really looking forward to seeing how it would all work out and how this book would end.
What I didn't like was how after not speaking with each other and being torn and everything, suddenly, at the big game Jordan and Henry talk and laugh and are all friendly again. I felt like it happened too soon and there was nothing to trigger it. They simply just started talking all of a sudden and stopped ignoring each other.
I think that it would have been better if Henry and Jordan started talking when Jordan sprained her knee and Henry rushed to her. It seems more normal to me if they went together to the hospital and had an emotional talk about how Henry was stupid and Jordan didn't realize that he loved her and she loved him and that's how they started talking again. For me it was almost like the author wrote the intense relationship between Jordan and Henry and then got bored and wrote a quick ending.
That was THE ONLY thing that I didn't like about this book: the ending. In the last chapters Jordan and Henry were friends again Jordan kept swooning at all the pretty boys on other football teams. No, just no.I don't know. That's just my opinion. Rewrite the ending to a better Happily Ever After and I'm happy.
Apart from Jordan's relationship issues I loved how she got to work things out with her dad and how it turned out that he was really just worried for her all along and once he got to understand how much Jordan needed his support, he gave her more of his support and time.
Other thing that I love: girl power. After reading Twilight - which I enjoyed at first, but after some time I saw that some things were just wrong (say, Bella's inability to do something other than mope around because Edward left her) - I sought books in which girls weren't seen as helpless damsels in distress. I loved how all the guys on the team respected Jordan but still were protective of her and how when she met the guys on the team from Alabama who didn't take her seriously she made them see that just because she was a girl, they didn't need to disrespect her. And I liked how in the end she becomes friends with Carrie and Marie and sees that not all girls are dumb cheerleaders.
But, all in all, this was a good book and I couldn't give it a lower rating, but this is still the queen of perfect start, horrid ending (I'm being melodramatic - it's not really horrid, just bad, or not my type of ending). (less)

Seeing as Piper, Jason and Leo (the main characters) are already teens there is a lot of romance going on. The three of them are at a boarding school for troubled kids. Leo, a son of Hephaestus, is a funny guy who can't believe he is a demigod. Piper, a daughter of Aphrodite, discovers one day that her new boyfriend, Jason, has lost his memory and doesn't even remember who she is! She has to make him fall in love with her again, but that's not so easy seeing as it took her long enough last time. Jason suddenly wakes up in a school bus for a road trip to the great cannon and can't remember anything. When they are suddenly attacked by one of their colleagues and their PE teacher turns out to be a mythical creature, they have to go with Annabeth to Camp Half-Blood where they discover what they are: semigods that have to save the world. Easy, right?(less)

I loved the way Lauren Oliver writes ever since I read Before I Fall. Now, three books later I am absolutely 100% sure that she is one of my favourite writers. She is one of those authors who can rip your heart out of your chest with just a few words and shred it to pieces, then sew it back again and heal it just to take it out again. That's how I felt throughout the whole book.
Major spoilers ahead! Do not read further if you hadn't read the book because it will spoil it all for you.
(view spoiler)[ Ok, so before I even started the book I knew that Alex had to be alive. I kind of felt heartbroken at the end of the first book when Alex died and at the beginning of this book I was so certain Alex was alive and decided that if he by any chance wasn't, i would stop reading the book.
Then, Julian comes along and he slowly heals Lena's broken heart (and mine along with hers) and I just loved what Lauren Oliver did with the story plot, totally unexpected yet so perfect.
But while reading the last pages I figured something had to happen (I guess we all know that Lauren loves unexpected endings and cliffhangers and driving us totally crazy - in a good way) so I was expecting everything to take an unexpected turn but I never imagined something like this.
So Alex is back... Holy frickin' cow! I'm totally stunned. I seriously need the next book RIGHT NOW!!
All in all, Mrs Oliver is now no doubt one of my favourite writers. And in the ending, please please please Mrs Lauren Oliver, give me the next book already! (less)

I changed my opinion on Stevie Rae completely: I LOVE HER!! Zoey didn't impress me very much, I think she has turned into a crazy Bella. I think that the changing point of views is great and can make you really 'get to know' other characters, not only Zoey. As I said, I believe it's the best book from the HON series. :)(less)

This was - at least for me - by far the best book I've ever read by Richelle. I'm pretty sure I've said this in another review but there are some books that just rip your heart in two only to patch it up and then to crush it mercilessly. Needless to say, this was one of those books. I'm too stunned to write a coherent review right now. All I can say is: I NEED THE NEXT BOOK RIGHT NOW!!
Update 2: Holy Freaking Guacamole I was so busy with exams that I forgot that this came out and I saw it just now. I hereby proclaim Sunday, 17th of June 2012 a totally non-productive day where I shall stay in bed and read this book.
Update 1:I need this book! I've been thinking about it a lot lately. June, why are you so far away?!!! :((less)

All I can say is 'AWWWW!' I mean, this is one of the best love stories I have ever read. For me, it's right there next to 'Along for the Ride' and all my other favorites. I just... I don't have words to write a proper review, this book has left me speechless!
Anyways, HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who wants to read a good ol' love story. (less)

***** SPOILERS *****
I loved how Ryan and Taryn were when they first met and how they enjoyed each other's company and felt so comfortable together but I was really disappointed when they had their first kiss and ended up sleeping together less then five minutes later. I don't really like saying bad things about the book but I felt like Taryn and Ryan's actions towards each other were so carefully planned in the beginning and Taryn didn't want to fall in love with Ryan but yet she was falling in love and I loved that. But it seemed so brusque and unnatural when they finally admitted they liked each other and that they wanted to be more than friends and just a few pages later Ryan tells her 'i love you'. All in all, this story was just not for me... (less)

We have the story written from Megan's perspective, we see Megan's emails with her best friends and her entries to MEGAN MEADE'S GUIDE TO THE MCGOWNAN BOYS. You kinda get insights in boys' heads but the book is not like a Cosmopoilitan magazine. It has a great plot and amazing character development! I would reccomend this to every girl!(less)

I wanted more things in the Professional category because that's why I bought this book, not for the begging part although I enjoyed that too and there were a couple of tips and tricks I didn't know there. I really liked the LIFESTYLE section and it's so amazing that there's at least one beauty book that has this. (less)

The whole story is completely heartbreaking and it deals with such scary topics such as child abuse, suicide, abduction and rape but somehow it is an incredibly gripping story. I didn't expect the whole plot to develop the way it did and some parts were completely shocking but the story felt real. It's a very unique book and extremely different from everything I've read before. (less)

SIMONE IS FRICKIN' AMAZING!!! i love this book and I actually cried when it ended. Not because something bad happened but because the book ended. I love Maggie and Caleb and everyone else in the book and I think that in a world full of Vampires and Wizards and Shadowhunters we need books like Simone's once in a while. I'm sure I'll read every one of her books because there's not a single book she wrote that I didn't like. I highly recomend this book to EVERY YA LOVERand whatnot. My mom read Simone's books and she loves them so pretty much EVERYONE will love this book.
PS: If you didn't like this book I think your version of reality is dark and twisted ( I don't intend to be mean) (less)

If this book were longer it would be PERFECT. Anyway, I love Maximum Ride and i adore James Patterson for creating such an amazing series. Keep it up!(less)

I dont have words to expres how much I loved this book. It was absolutely awsome: it had new amazing characters, it was fast paced so you were never bored and it was just incredibly well written. I absolutely adored it. And aghhhhhh!!! The ending! I NEEEED THE NEXT BOOK NOOOOOWWWWWW!
**************** The first chapters of this are so exciting. And I love that it's narrated by both John and Six. I can't wait for this to come out. August 21st seems so far away!!!!! (less)

Am stat cu sufletul la gura sa vad daca ii va spune Danut Monicai ca o iubeste, am plans cand Olguta s-a sinucis si la ultimul capitol cand ei, ajunsi mari se intorc la locul magic unde au atatea amintiri, La Medeleni(less)

It is such a great book and it reminded me of all my crazy summers. Although I am not like Auden not even a little bit, and I usually like to read books were I relate to the main character I literally devoured this book. I want to read more Sarah Dessen.(less)
