Review: What to Say Next

What to Say Next by Julie Buxbaum
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“We are all strangers to each other in the end.”

I read this book a while ago and just decided to write a review since this book has remained stuck in my brain for so long. Firstly, you should know that Buxbaum's books are sometimes simply emotional. There is no getting away with it. Exploring the foundation of love when everything else in life is wrong is her specialty. Like her other book, 'Tell me Three Things', this book also starts with death. As the plot progresses, we learn about the characters themselves: Kit and David. David has Asperger's syndrome, and he is a physics nerd. His quirky scientific thoughts are just amazing. It is obvious that he would have a hard time making friends, though, due to the anxiety that comes with his situation. However, one day, Kit just sits on his table with him for lunch, and everything just changes.

Overall, it was an emotional, but quick read. I would definitely recommend the novel to everyone for I think that this novel is the best in Buxbaum collection...

Review: Evermore

By on
Evermore by Sara Holland My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thanks to HarperTeen for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. 3&1/2 star Oh boy. This book was a very fast read. I personally enjoyed this book, but it was somewhat boring. Plus, I thought that the plot was a little bit rushed creating holes. What I really mean is that I love the whole concept of the Alchemist and the Sorceress. It is definitely unique. As such, I feel as though Holland did not do justice to the book by ending everything so soon. There are books that end sooner than they should while others are stretched beyond purpose. This series is the former kind is all I am saying. In essence, I was satisfied with the ending. The writing quality is good as well. I would recommend this book to some who are just looking for a quick read. View all my reviews

Review: The Beholder

The Beholder by Anna Bright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Thank you HaperTeen for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. The Beholder is an equal mix of politics and romance intertwingled together just right. As I began the book, I questioned myself what this book would intel since the beginning seems so simplistic. It starts with the dilemma leading Selah to go around the continent to find the one. The plot is set based on so many fairy tales. I thought that it would be something cliche, but I loved the surprise that I got. Overall, I enjoyed the book. I wonder what other books in the series will bring. I had never imagined that The Beholder was a ship, to be honest. The shock that I got at the end was predictable to some extent, however, the degree of it surprised me. I would recommend this book to some who like the mix of fairy tale, romance, and historical fiction. It is comparable to The Selection, but not quite making it a un

Love & Luck

Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch My rating: 4 of 5 stars "Do you know what I love about humans, pet? Its our dogged stupidity. When it comes to love we never learn. Ever. Even when we know the risks." So, I don't know about you, but I learned this simple fact: Irish four leaf clover= Faith+Luck+Love+Hope mostly love though... Last year, I read Love & Gelato by Welch. I really enjoyed journeying with Lina through the imaginary streets of Italy I created while reading the book. So, when I picked up Love & Luck, I thought that it would be similar to Lina's story, in a way. I was kind of surprised and happy that it was just another unique story. I mean tell me: where will you find a book which will act as your Lady guide while helping you mend your heart? Or, in this case, tear your heart apart to start a new chapter... As you might know from the synopsis, Addie is visiting Ireland for aunt's third wedding? After the wedding, she is supposed to
