”Note to self: Always remember how lucky you are to wake up next to someone who thinks you're the shit.”
True words of wisdom spoken above. In a world where loneliness can be all encompassing it’s nice to have someone on your side rooting for you. When you find your ‘tribe’ it’s very freeing to allow you to be who you are meant to be. The problem is when someone else’s idea of success is not your own and they alter your course with their actions. They think they’re doing it fo ...more

: Buddy read with Robin, Sandra, Ya, KdBrand and Samantha.
I can't believe it's just been a little more than a year since I read this the first time. This re-read was a great gauge on how differently I read then and now, how the critiquing has shifted highlighting things that didn't bother me the first time around. Case in point, I don't remember being annoyed with Eliza as much as I did this time around. How she belittled Paul's fears against her own in the beginning were but among t ...more

First I will say that this was different then I expected, but different in a good way. Although it was partially a love story it wasn't the main focus of the book like much of the YA Romance and contemporary I read. The story that develops of Paul and Eliza was captivating reaching so many different topics. Being as though I completely understood and felt most like Eliza because if my fear of flying I felt like I understood all she said and did because of her fear. Paul was a quirky character ...more
The writing was 10+ stars. I loved, LOVED the diary, but some parts were just too hard to read. Some parts were just not for me. My emotions were all over the place. I had to stop reading numerous times because I was not able to swallow some of the things were happening/happened. I do not want to give anything away so I will close with my favorite phrase from the book.
Over and Out.
Over and Out.
"For what it's worth, I think happiness is a fleeting condition, not a permanent goddam state of mind."
"Personally, I don't like inherently happy poeple. I don't trust them. I think there is something seriously wrong with anyone who isn't at least a little let down by the world."
"Made me want to pur rubber cement all over my chest and then lay down on top of her so that we'd be stuck together, and so it would hurt like hell if we ever tried to tear ourselves apart."
"Fate is teh magnetic pull of ...more
