Little Altars Everywhere:
"Not as good as "Ya-Ya", but yikes! Vivi is a child molester? Yuck!!! I actually couldn't believe reading that chapter - it's as if Rebecca Wells got tired of creating this amazing whirlwind of a character and decided that she had to have a truly evil"

"hmmm. i'm not quite sure why this book missed the mark for me on such an enormous level. it's a whimsical romance set between our universe and an alternate world wherein inhabitants have no true choices, as their futures are mapped out in detail and "

| Slightly ridiculous / instant-love story with a twisted, suspenseful ending. A great way to end the entire series! | |

| I liked it but it wasn’t amazing. I think using her own experiences ended up pretty lacking because we cannot be an accurate judge of whether she’s codependent or not. | |

| I found this book highly relatable. Reminded me of my ex-boyfriend who used to target insecure girls and try to convince them that he’s the best thing that ever happened to them. In addition, I found it to be quite scary, especially since our society ...more | |

“They saw it on the news
Children sent out to school
To get a brighter future
Sent back
Dead
It's a common sight in America
So common
That the children of the 9/11 generation
Who grew up watching the Twin Towers fall
Now cannot feel anything but a sinking feeling of hopelessness”

“I love you Henry" whispered Queen Susan
She turned to the awed and frozen battle field.
"I love this man! I've always loved him! Help me before it's too late!"
"I'm sorry my pride got in the way of us. I should have told you the moment I saw you that I loved you" he said quietly.
"Henry? Do you remember who I am?"
His face grew silent and after the longest moment, he nodded and Queen Susan leaned in and gave him a kiss.
She started to cry and then everything went black.”

“Soon, he brought her to the nicest restaurant he could find. Gave her a dozen roses, and an engagement ring.
"When I commit to someone, I really commit to them. I know now that there's nobody out there who I care about as much as I do you. There's no one I would rather spend my life with."
They kissed.
It's true then, they thought. You really can meet the perfect person and live happily ever after.”

“She glared at him, feeling the old frustration. Sometimes in his presence she felt the deepest connection to him, and other times she felt completely alone-as though any bond to him was her own bitter imagination.”

“It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language”

“Strange as it may seem, I still hope for the best, even though the best, like an interesting piece of mail, so rarely arrives, and even when it does it can be lost so easily.”

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
