Book Review: The last Olympian Rick Riordan

The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #5)

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

January 6- August 7

Summary- All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. Kronos’s army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan’s power only grows. While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it’s up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.

In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy’s sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.

Review – This was a great finale to the series I loved this book so we start off with Rachel and Percy and then we see Blackjack and Becondorf and they go on the princess amdromna and of course Becondorf sacrifices himself and dies . And then Percy sees Tyson and his father and who looks terrible and then Percy goes back to camp . And Percy has to tell everyone that Becondorf didn’t make it even the guys girlfriend and Selena . This book had allot of funny lines even with all the death and Percy gets to hear his prophecy finally what I wanted to yell at percy about is he didn’t get why Annabeth was always so mad at him cause she likes you idiot and your talking to another girl if I was her I’d probably punch percy into understanding . So Percy and Nico go and Nico tricks him and he goes to see his dad ugh Nico but he gets out. And the war is starting and everyone from camp but the aries cabin is there cause clarise was being stupid and doesn’t want to fight . And Percy is having all these dreams and rachel writes his name in greek and she goes to see percy and NYC is asleep . And Rachel tells that he isn’t the hero that someone else is so there fighting all these monsters and percy took a swim in the river styx and he thought about Annabeth and when they were on the bridge Annabeth got poisoned she was fine in all and I loved when Percy and Annabeth would just talk and she would just wanted to talk about them but Percy wouldn’t get it . And then Percy was trying to get his dad to help out and he did eventually and I loved his parents helped out his mom fired a shot gun and his step dad stabbed a monster . And we find out who the spy is it’s Selena I didn’t see it coming she died going against a drakon . And she was posing as Clarise and the aries campers do come and Clariese was crying cause they were friends and then comes the big fight with Kronos . and Annabeth gets Luke to come out of him and he is like did you love me and she’s I loved you like a brother . there was a ton of other stuff in this book with Lukes mom she lost her mind she tried to be the oracal but didn’t know that it was cursed by Hades . Luke ends up killing himself Poseidon shows up and helps out and then they go to olympus and Percy is offered to be a god but he turns it down he is like you are gods this shouldn’t of happened if you were more involved in your children’s lives so that’s what there going to do and build more cabins for more of the gods awesome and Rachel becomes the oracal . so percy and Annabeth talk and he’s trying to tell her his feeling for him and she kisses him awwww and then everyone is like finally and they have an underwater kiss this book was so great it was a great finale and I loved this series so much Percy and Annabeth eeek.

Favorite quotes
“She raised an eyebrow. “You got something to say to me, Seaweed Brain?”

You’d probably kick my butt.”

You know I’d kick your butt.”

I brushed the cake off my hands. “When I was at the River Styx, turning invulnerable . . . Nico said I had to concentrate on one thing that kept me anchored to the world, that made me want to stay mortal.”

Annabeth kept her eyes on the horizon. “Yeah?”

Then up on Olympus,” I said, “when they wanted to make me a god and stuff, I kept thinking-”

Oh, you so wanted to.”

Well, maybe a little. But I didn’t, because I thought-I didn’t want things to stay the same for eternity, because things could always get better. And I was thinking . . .” My throat felt really dry.

Anyone in particular?” Annabeth asked, her voice soft.

I looked over and saw that she was trying not to smile.

You’re laughing at me,” I complained.

I am not!”

You are so not making this easy.”

Then she laughed for real, and she put her hands
around my neck. “I am never, ever going to make things easy for you, Seaweed Brain. Get used to it.”

The throne rumbled. A wave of gale-force anger slammed into me.
WHO DARES-
The voice stopped abruptly, The anger retreated, which was a good thing, because just those two words had almost blasted my mind to shreds.
Percy. My fathers voice was still angry but more controlled. What-exactly-are you doing on my throne?
“I’m sorry, Father,” I said. “I needed to get your attention.”
This was a very dangerous thing to do. Even for you. If I hadn’t looked before I blasted, you would now be a puddle of seawater.”

The Council agrees,” Zeus said. “Percy Jackson, you will have one gift from the gods.”
I hesitated. “Any gift?”
Zeus nodded grimly. “I know what you will ask. The greatest gift of all. Yes, if you want it, it shall be yours. The gods have not bestowed this gift on a mortal hero in many centuries, but, Perseus Jackson-if you wish it-you shall be made a god. Immortal. Undying. You shall serve as your father’s lieutenant for all time.”
I stared at him, stunned. “Um…a god?”
Zeus rolled his eyes. “A dimwitted god, apparently. But yes. With the consensus of the entire Council, I can make you immortal. Then I will have to put up with you forever.”
“Hmm,” Ares mused. “That means I can smash him to a pulp as often as I want, and he’ll just keep coming back for more. I like this idea.”

Book Review : until the end Abbi Glines

Until the End (Sea Breeze, #9)Until the End by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 30-July 1

he backstory that fans have been clamoring for—how Rock and Trisha fell in love—is the final installment in the Sea Breeze series from New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines. And don’t miss the sizzling Epilogue, where Abbi wraps up all the Sea Breeze couples’ stories!

Trisha Corbin always knew how to hide a bruise. With her momma’s boyfriends unable to keep their hands off of her, she had no choice. And as long as it meant the guys wouldn’t go near her little brother, Krit, it was worth it. But her days of dreaming that Prince Charming would ever come rescue her are far, far in the past.

Rock Taylor always had a plan. Through football, he would rise above the life he was born into. A full ride to play for a major college team was within his reach—assuming he didn’t let anything get in his way. But scoring a date with the hottest girl in Sea Breeze was proving harder than expected. Trisha Corbin was every man’s walking fantasy, and she wouldn’t even glance his way.

When Rock finally does get Trisha in his truck, it isn’t for a date. It’s because he picks her up on the side of the road, beaten and bruised and walking to the local hospital. Before Rock knows it, football is no longer his life. Trisha Corbin is. And he’ll do anything to save her. And keep her.

In addition to Rock and Trisha’s love story, this special novel contains the wrap-up stories of all your favorite Sea Breeze couples: Sadie and Jax, Marcus and Low, Cage and Eva, Preston and Amanda, Jess and Jason, Krit and Blythe, and Dewayne and Sienna.

Review – This was such a great wrap-up to the series so it starts out with Rock and Trisha and it goes back to when they were in high school it was interesting to see all the guys in high school like preston oh god love him and Marcus and Dewayne they are like a family and I love that so it talks about Rock and trisha is the present and the past the present with there kids and the past when they met and Rock had to mostly beg trisha to go out with him she didn’t want to deal with him cause she’s had a terrible home life . I loved how Rock took care of her he had football on the line but he loved Trisha so much and cared for her and that’s the kind of love you really want . But Trisha didn’t know how to react he was always with a girl but when they hooked up for the first time it was out of love and he wanted her to be safe she was getting beaten for so long which was terrible and Rock protected her and in the end everything worked out . And then we got to see everyone’s story end also it started with Sadie and Jax . They break up for a stupid reason Sadie was going to tell Jax she was pregnant but Jax dumped her cause he thought she kissed his drummer who was high at the time but she didn’t and oh my god I loved Jessica in this she was standing up for her daughter and helping her through this Jax came back and she forgave him cause they were in love and then they had rough sex 😉 . Marcus and willow’s story was interesting so Low is pregnant again with a girl so sweet Eli is three now oh and Tawney her evil sister left and Marcus’s parents are back together I loved the ending to there story . When Amanda finds a texts on Prestons phone from a girl she is freaking out and Marcus tries to murder Preston but it turns out it was a set up they get married but before they have wedding sex I wouldn’t be surprised . Jess and Jason jess is having some problems she pregnant and she doesn’t feel like she belongs she is always Jumping Jason to try to prove her love for him but they love each other and there engaged and happy there ending was so cute . Blythe and Krit’s story was funny and cute so Blythe published her book and she’s making allot of money now and Krit’s nervous that if he proposes she will think it’s cause of the money oh and Green hooked up with Matty’s cousin yeah not good . And Green really likes this girl’s hair LOL but when Blythe finds the ring she isn’t positive it wasn’t for her so she tells him and then she says yes aww so cute . Dewayne and Sienna’s story had me in tears when we find out she’s pregnant I was sobbing out of joy especially when Micah asked Dewayne if he could call him Dad and he cried and then I was crying loved it . Cage and Eva’s ending was cute with Bliss’s third birthday she is so like Cage it’s funny . I like the ending to everyone’s story when it ends 10 years later I was crying cause it couldn’t of had a better ending I loved this series it was allot of fun and I loved all these characters .

Quotes-
Just like magic, each one of us had had that someone special walk into our lives and love us enough to fight for us. Life is funny that way. Fate happens, and it’s better than what you had imagined in the first place.”

I feel sorry for this town when the York and Drake boys all had cars.

The the day she gets married . …. wait, no . That shit ain’t happening . No getting married . until she was , like maybe forty , or I was dead .

In a few months our lives would all change . We didn’t know what the future held , but we had each other . this was my family . The one I leaned on since I was a kid . I could have taken a much different road in life , growing up the way I did , but having these three guys who gave a shit out me changed that . Somehow we had stayed out of real trouble . Marcus had always been there to remind us to keep it clean and stay out of Jail . I was going to miss times like this . But had Trisha and my future would always have her in it . That made the future exciting instead of terrifying . Since the moment she sat at the lunch table , laughing with the three people in the world who I considered family , I had known she was it . She was my future

We need to figure it out before your brother kills your groom ,

Preston , back the hell up ! Marcus , stop and ask him first before you commit a murder .

Book Review: Hold on tight Abbi Glines

Hold on Tight (Sea Breeze, #8)Hold on Tight by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 28-30

Six years ago, Dewayne Falco’s life changed. He lost someone he never expected to lose. Resigned to punish himself for something he felt he could have prevented, he goes through life without getting too close to anyone.

What he didn’t expect was for the girl across the street to move back home and remind him of what they both lost: Dewayne’s younger brother Dustin. However, when a miniature version of Dustin opens the door to greet him, Dewayne realizes he might not have lost everything after all.

Sienna Roy loved Dustin Falco most of her life. He was the boy next door, the high school basketball star and her best friend. But when his life was cut short, she realized he left a part of himself behind.

Now, she’s back in Sea Breeze, thankful to have a home for her and Dustin’s son, but not sure if she can ever forgive the people across the street who abandoned her when she needed them the most — The Falcos.

Betrayal, lies, and forbidden attraction might end Dewayne and Sienna’s story before it’s even begun.

Review – Now these books keep getting better I was really excited to get into Dewayne’s story this involves Sienna who got pregnant with his younger brother’s baby and he’s also dead and her parents shipped her off I didn’t like her parents for that reason alone but now Sienna is back and she isn’t excited to see Dewayne one she sent letters a long time ago with pictures from her son’s life Micah is adorable he’s very protective of his mother and he’s only five when Dewayne see’s sienna again he’s shocked and startled and she isn’t very happy to see him cause she thought he knew but when she blurts it out he is more shocked and doesn’t know what to say but he wants to get to know Micah he introduces him to his parents / grandparents but only the dad knows so far cause Dewayne told him I loved the flashbacks from high school one thing Dustin was a dick totally different from Dewayne . Dustin got very drunk one night after having sex with a girl he had pregnant and Dewayne was knocking some sense into him and he drove drunk and that’s what got him killed . Sienna has liked Dewayne since she was fourteen and he helped her in high school Dewayne liked Sienna also but she thinks he can’t be the guy for him but when they kiss it kind of changes things and then they have phone sex wow *fans self * I was so happy that the grandparents got to be apart of Micah’s life they didn’t get those letters the stupid mother took them ugh I hate her when Dewayne and Sienna finally get together I was so happy and eek they get engaged aww I loved this story .

Quotes-
You’re one of the best men I know. You wear your tats and piercings and those damn leather bracelets that only you could get away with. But inside you are one big teddy bear. When someone you love needs you, there is nothing you won’t do for them. When I needed you, you were always there. I’ve never questioned your heart. It’s made of fucking gold, and we all know it. We laugh at your crude jokes and snide comments because we know they mean nothing. It’s part of your shield. Underneath, I don’t know many men that compare. You’re one of the best, Dewayne. One of the best.”

I couldn’t have written a more perfect ending to the story of my life . Because even with all those bad time and moments when I thought things couldn’t get worse , the good time and the moments of joy and the love was all so much more . they made it worth it . The journey may not be easy , but when you find the one to take it with , then you can do anything .

Book Review: Misbehaving Abbi Glines

MisbehavingMisbehaving by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 22-27

Remember rock-star Jax Stone’s brother Jason from Breathe? Well now he’s got his own story to tell…
Jason’s had enough of living in his rock star brother’s shadow. So when he sets off to Sea Breeze, Alabama, he’s looking for a much deserved escape and a chance to blow of some envious steam. But falling for the local bad girl was definitely not the plan. And as the two enjoy some naughty fun in the Alabama sun, Jason learns that though Jax is the musician in the family, he too can just as easily rock someone’s world.

*****

Review – Now Jess wasn’t a character I didn’t think I would like but I did like her once I was in her head and Jason I love him he was stupid at times but I still loved him . So Jess and Jason meet in a very interesting way Jess was just done bashing her ex’s car and she was running with a bat and she sees a car and that’s how Jason and Jess meet and ever since then he couldn’t stop thinking about her he also didn’t know Jess was Rock’s cousin until they all met up at Live Bay . Jess takes Jason swimming ileagly of course and then Jason takes Jess to go skinny dipping and then they hook up very nice . Jason and Jess are from two different worlds Jason is rich and Jess her mom is a stripper . But they end up breaking up after a trip to NYC and then they get back together after awhile Jess gets a job as a seamstress she likes sewing . Jason ends up seeing her at live Bay with Krit the lead singer of Jackdown and they are together I knew they wouldn’t last they just liked hooking up with each other and Krit was obsessed with sex . But after awhile Jess realizes she can’t be with Krit and then she goes back to Jason and she is happy again she finds out her mom is sick and she has to get a job as a stripper and oh god I felt so bad for her Jason and her break up and Krit and Jason end up in a fist fight and then Jason saves her and helps out they love each other when they finally say it I was crying so hard . I loved this one and I love all the gilmore girls comparisons from Jess’s mom oh and I hated Jason’s mom what a bitch she tried to pay Jess to stay away from her son I would punch her in the face still a great story .

Quotes-

Either you two go to your room , or i’m going to throw ice water on you both , I told them.

“If guys don’t open doors for you, then they aren’t worth your time.

Krit’s gonna go apeshit,
Dewayne said in a singsong voice
Shut him up , I whispered to Rock.

Wanna dance ? I asked
No , Rock answered for him .
Hell yes , Dewayne replied
Stand up and I’ll make you sit down ,
Rock warned him.
Dewayne just laughed and took a drink.
What are you doing , Jess ? Rock asked
Drinking , then dancing , I replied with a smile I didn’t feel.
It’s not like you , he replied .
No. It’s exactly like me . This is me , Rock. I’m done pretending to be someone else . Now , Why can’t Dewayne dance with me ? I asked , turning to pout at Dewayne who looked amused. Stop flirting with Dewayne , Rock said , annoyed.
I’m enjoying it . Please , let her continue , Dewayne said.

He could teach a Seduction 101 class . Or on the fastest way to get a woman naked .
Hmm , maybe , but it’s cute , I teased .
Cute , huh ? Do I need to remind you of my sexiness ?
This time I laughed . Definitely not . I’m very aware .
Thought so . I’m hard to forget , he replied .

You’re going to kill me or drive me insane . I can’t seem to care . I’m looking forward to it , he said .

“I smashed all the windows in my ex-boyfriend’s truck.” “You did what?” I couldn’t have heard her correctly. That did not happen in real life. Country songs, yes. Real life, no way.

I had never expected to fall in love , but then , I never imagined anyone like Jess . She was one beautiful contradiction . The idea of letting someone else own my heart wasn’t appealing . It sounded weak and foolish . Something meant for the words of a song . I was wrong . When I thought about my future now , Jess was all that I could see , and that was all I needed . I couldn’t ask for more .

Book review:sometimes it lasts abbi glines

Sometimes It Lasts (Sea Breeze)Sometimes It Lasts by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 21-23

Cage York has to choose between a love of the game and a love of the girl in this sultry Sea Breeze novel from New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines.
After waiting for his big break, bad boy Cage York is finally called up to prove his worth in the college baseball arena. But when Cage’s girlfriend, Eva, mourns the sudden loss of her father, it’s not Cage’s comforting arms she runs to, but those of her former fiancé’s twin brother, Jeremy.

Torn between his baseball dream and the girl of his dreams, Cage must prove he’s worthy of Eva’s love, or risk losing her to Jeremy forever.

Review- This book frustrated me more than any of the ones in the series I still loved it but it made my head hurt at times or I was yelling at the book . So we are back with Eva and Cage and as happy as I was about that WHY THE HELL DID THEY HAVE TO BREAK UP ? I mean really and the stupid baseball guys were douchbags who sets someone up for that it was stupid cause they were so happy . Cage got a scholarship they were all set to go then the father gets cancer she has to go home and take care of him and she knows Cage has to go to school. But then she gets a text that wasn’t from him and I knew that roommate was going to be a problem Cage threatened him Cage visits Eva and it’s all good and then someone sends Eva something bad and I was swear I did not see that coming when she got these pics and video of Cage doing things sexual but it was all a set up damn assholes. And then Eva finds out she’s pregnant gets engaged to Jeremy the father dies she’s having a girl (Bliss) when Cage and Eva broke it I cried big fat tears this book was amazing when Cage found out about the baby he left school he wanted to prove to Eva that he was all in the whole engagement to Jeremy didn’t make sense I mean he had a thing for her since he was five but they never kissed during this engagement they were meant to be friends that’s it . when the baby kicks for Cage so cute I loved it so they end the engagement and Cage is doing nice things for Eva and they flirt and do things for each other and when they got back together and then he proposes eeek so cute . I was so happy and Low and Marcus are having a baby boy Eli so cute and then cage and Eva get married it was such a good continue of Cage and Eva .

Quotes –
Maybe he hadn’t seen me studying his ass like I wanted a bite . Because we both knew I was a fan of his backside

I’d hug you , But i gotta go work with your man today , and he’s watching me right now like he might need to come up here and beat my ass at any second .

Listen , bitch the only white trash in this room is the one who slept with a married man . An old married man at that . You call my man one more name and I will knock those ridiculously high heels out from under you. So back the hell off before you end up on you ass .

You need to run. Your ass may be bigger than me, but I can use a gun real damn good. So you’ve been warned. I’m coming after your motherfucking ass and I intend to put a bullet between your eyes.”

“Because I love you more than any goddamn thing on this fucking planet, I’m gonna let you have one more day. You just lost your daddy, and I’ll never forgive my- self for not being here with you. I’ll live my life regretting it. But I’ll be back. You’re mine, Eva Brooks. Always. You told me that yourself and, sweetheart, I’m holding you to it.

I worship the ground Eva walks on. I love her smile. I love the way she gets in a snit and her lips get all pinched up. I love the way she thinks she has to cook for me. I love the fact that she lets me butter her biscuit. I love the way she curls into me at night and lets me hold her. I also love how perfect it is when I’m making love to her. How I feel complete.”

Jeremy brought you halfway, but the rest is mine. I’ve had you the rest of the way.” He said as Jeremy handed me over and pressed a kiss to my cheek.
I looked up at Cage as he tucked my arm into his and bestowed me with one of his soul-stealing grins. “It’s time we start our always, Eva.”
I turned to face him. I stood on my tiptoes and pressed a kiss to his lips. Then I whispered, “We already have. We’ve been working on our always since you walked into my world with a cocky swagger and a smile.”

Book review: just for now Abbi glines

Just for Now (Sea Breeze, #4)Just for Now by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 20-21

An insatiable attraction heats to the boiling point in this steamy book set in the shore town of Sea Breeze from the author of the white-hot The Vincent Boys.

Preston is one bad boy. And Amanda has harbored a crush on him for forever. When she finally makes her move on him, it does not end well. But still, she can’t resist him. Especially now that he seems to be pursuing her, too.

No one wants wants them to be together. Not Amanda’s brother Marcus, who is on the verge of his marriage to Low, and definitely not any of Preston’s buddies. They know way too much about Preston’s dark side. Even Preston realizes he’s not good enough for someone like her.

But Amanda believes there is more to Preston than his bad boy persona, and she is determined to unearth what he’s hiding behind his seductive blue eyes—secrets that could explain his actions. Secrets Amanda might not be able to forgive.

Yet the dangerous attraction persists…and neither Preston nor Amanda is going to deny it

He ain’t planning on talking to you. He’s planning on whooping your ass and then locking his sister up in her bedroom for the rest of her life . I just hope he ain’t got a gun on him.

“Hearts don’t realize they’ve been lied to. They still love anyway.

Book review : while it lasts abbi glines

While it Lasts (Sea Breeze)While it Lasts by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 18-20

Cage brings his playboy prowess to the countryside as the Sea Breeze hookups continue, from self-published phenomenon Abbi Glines.
Low broke Cage’s heart by getting with Marcus in Because of Low. Cage went into a tailspin that ended in a DUI. In order to salvage his baseball scholarship—the one thing he truly valued besides Low—Cage must take a summer job. At a farm. Away from Sea Breeze. With lots of cows, but no hot girls. Maybe that’s what Cage needs to get back on track.

But wait—there’s that hostile daughter of the farm boss. She’s pretty and occasionally sweet, and there seems to be a lot of sadness and mystery behind her anger. Cage is dying to strip her down—physically and mentally—in the back of the barn. But is he prepared for what will happen afterward?

Review- I loved this one I have a thing for bad boys yes Cage york is a big bad boy when he get’s a DUI and is sent with the country and meets Eva who hates him . Eva has been through allot her fiance / best friend was killed in the war and oh my god that letter he sent her made me sob so hard. Her and Cage have a love hate relationship they end up doing allot more than flirting in the lake oh my shit who knew a nipple ring was a thing I would find attractive 😉 when Eva gets freaking drunk one night she sleeps in Cage’s bed . Eva knows she has to go on with her life she took off her ring Jeremy her fiance twin is moving away she starts using her jeep she starts playing her guitar and everyone keeps telling her that Cage isn’t the type she should be with she ends up sleeping with him and her father threatens him and he has to leave everyone is wondering why Cage is so upset Low tells him to fight for her he goes back to her house Eva thought he just left but he says he loves her but she just stood there OH MY GOD EVA and then when Cage is about to leave the bar there is Eva singing him a song and I loved this book so much Eva and Cage are so cute . And in the End when she wrote that letter to Josh I was balling my eyes such a good ending .

Quotes-
Only problem with talking about licking with you is that it gives me ideas . I start thinking about things I shouldn’t be thinking about . Things that will only torment me ’cause I’ll never know just how sweet you taste . I ma be a lot of things , Eva may even be a few of them names you called me , but i’m not going touch what belongs to another man.

If you really want to talk about licking , I’ll happily oblige

Really ? well , thank you. I was under the impression you wouldn’t spit on me if I was on fire .

An Engaged lady shouldn’t be looking at another man like she wants to take a lick

“You see somethin’ ya want, baby?”
“Maybe. I’m checking things out. Seeing if I’m interested,” I shot back with my own evil grin.
“I see something I want,” he drawled as he came toward me.
“You do?”
“Hell yeah, I do,” he murmured. “I love chocolate.” What? My excitement turned to confusion. His arm reached out beside me and took the piece of chocolate cake I’d brought him.”

“You are such a bad boy.” She tugged on the hair that brushed my collar.
“I can be real bad. You haven’t seen anything yet,” I murmured, bending my head so I could take a nip at the soft skin at the back of her neck.
“I’m not sure I could keep up with you. I’m extremely inexperienced. We are in completely different planets when it comes to sexual experience,” her breathing was labored as I licked and kissed different sweet spots on her shoulders and collarbone.
“I didn’t say anything about sex, Eva,” I grinned before kissing her jawline. “You’re the naughty one who brought up sex.”

I understood that pain was real and sometimes things didn’t last. Sometimes you just had to enjoy it while it lasts and cherish it when it’s gone.”

Book Review: Because of Low abbi glines

Because of Low (Sea Breeze, #2)Because of Low by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 17-19
It’s steamy in the Gulf town of Sea Breeze. Physical attraction is the only way to beat the heat in this start to a series from bestselling, previously self-published author Abbi Glines.

Playboy Cage owns the apartment, and he hosts a revolving door of people, in and out, at all times. Most of them are long-legged hot girls who are never there more than a night or two. When Cage’s new roommate, Marcus, enters the picture, he’s just looking to nurse a broken heart. But there’s one particular semi-frequent regular who catches his eye.

Willow—“Low”—is the one Cage wants to marry. But the two of them are night and day, and Marcus can’t see how Low puts up with all of Cage’s womanizing. What she really needs is a real man….like good-looking and sensible Marcus. But that’s going to get real complicated and real messy—real fast.

Book review- This one is my favorite so far I loved hearing more about Marcus Hardy *Swoon* Marcus has come home because of family problems his dad cheated on his mom with a younger woman he works with . He’s living with a guy who sleeps with allot of woman Cage is an interesting Character Then we meet Low cage’s best friend who he tells people he’s going to marry her she comes to the apartment crying and she always sleeps in cage’s bed but she’s not attracted to him . Marcus likes low and one day when Low is watching Larrissa who is adorable Marcus kisses her awww and then they go out on a date and this girl jess is always causing problems but Low does tell her off finally . Marcus brings Low to meet his mom and his dad didn’t show of course cause he’s a dick and Low was very good with them all I hated Low’s sister she was a bitch and the baby daddy was twice her age . There was this scene where Low and marcus were getting very hot and heavy very nice *fan self* and he was doing something in the shower and low saw oh my freaking god . I really thought Cage was going to kill marcus when he found out but he didn’t I love Marcus and Low together they are good for each other but holy shit I did not see this coming Low’s sister is with Marcus’s dad which Makes Larrisa Amanda and Marcus’s sister ,holy shit and she goes to the house and comforts them and Marcus comes over and he thought she knew the entire time and broke up . Oh god so bad Low gets really sad but Marcus father tells him she didn’t know and Marcus goes to low and she forgives him but she can’t put her heart through that again I can see where she’s coming from . But Cage tells low to give him another chance and Marcus leaves Low a vintage concert t-shirt awww so sweet and then they get back together and make love and I loved this book so much .

Quotes-

I love you.” My heart almost stopped beating in my chest.
She hadn’t spoken those words since the last time I held her in my arms.
“And you did leave me. But… but you came back. No one’s ever come back. They leave me and that’s it. They want to leave me. You didn’t. And you came back.” I wanted to stand up and reach across the table and jerk her into my arms but I wasn’t sure I could stand up just yet. I needed to hear everything she had to say.
“Yes, I came back. My heart never left you.”
“I miss you.”
This time I stood up and walked around the table.
“I miss you. Every second of every day,” I whispered. Her eyes followed me until I was inches from her.
“I trust you.”
I needed more than that.
“You trust me,” I repeated.
She nodded and her hand came up and caressed the side of my arm.
“I want to try again.”
Those were the words I needed to hear.”

Marcus , Please . The hand froze . I opened my eyes and started directly up into Cage’s face . Did you just call me Marcus ?

Marcus Hardy was straight out of those gushy romance novels .

I’m not done here . I’m just beginning , Low . But I couldn’t walk away again without that kiss.

Book Review: Breathe abbi glines

Breathe (Sea Breeze #1)Breathe by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 15-17
Sadie White’s summer job is at the beach, but she won’t be working as a lifeguard. Since her mom is pregnant and refuses to work, Sadie will be taking over as a domestic servant for a wealthy family on a nearby island.

When the family arrives at their summer getaway, Sadie is surprised to learn that the owner of the house is Jax Stone, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world. If Sadie were normal—if she hadn’t spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house—maybe she’d be excited about working for a rock star. But she’s not.

Even though Sadie isn’t impressed by Jax’s fame, he is drawn to her. Everything about Sadie fascinates Jax, but he fights his attraction: Relationships never work in his world, and as badly as he wants Sadie, he believes she deserves more. Yet as the summer stretches on, Jax’s passion leaves him breathless—and Sadie feels like the only source of oxygen.

Can their love overcome the disparity in their lifestyles? One breath at a time, they’re going to find out.

Review – I loved this book this story was so cute this book is about Sadie and because her pregnant mother can’t work she takes a job to work in a famous teen stars home . Jax can’t wait to get away from the spotlight for a few months and then he meets sadie and he can’t stay away no matter how he tries . There were allot of characters I loved Marcus *swoon alert* those Alabama boys 😉 and right when Marcus is about to ask Saddie out Jax comes out and offers her a ride and she goes with him she knows it won’t last but it doesn’t stop her heart and how she feels about Jax . Saddie meets a new friend Amanda who turns out to be Marcus’s younger sister . when Jax takes Sadie out to there own private movie things get allot hot and heavy wow 😉 when Marcus tells her about Jax’s “girlfriend” she gets upset and then Marcus kisses her HOLY CRAP ! I thought Sadie and Marcus would be good together if jax didn’t exist but you can’t help who you fall for other characters I loved were Marcus’s friend Preston who was obviously hitting on Sadie allot and Marcus would usually punch him LOL . And Mrs . Marry who was mostly a mother figure to Sadie . When Sadie and Jax go to a party and then go back to his room and it gets hot and heavy again wow *blushes * oh and when they shower together wow that was wow and when they finally have sex it was so beautiful but sexy . When people find out about Sadie and Jax they break up and Sadie goes into a depression her mom has the baby Sam and her mom oh my god she wouldn’t even hold him Sadie ends up falling on her bike and cracking her head cause she was over exerting herself Jax sings her out of her coma mostly and he shows up at homecoming I loved it so cute .

Quotes-

“You’re with me, Sadie. When you’re off the clock, you’re not my employee. You’re my.. Air.”
I frowned at him. “Your air?”
He grinned. “Well, girlfriend seems to be a shallow word for what I feel for you..”

“If hearts could shatter, mine just did.”

I was going to cheat and pull down the fender stratocaster original over there and play you one of my number ones . See if I could get you to become putty in my hands, or at least throw your panties at me .

You’re everything I write about in my songs but can never have .

Any girl in a ten-mile radius is going to stare you down if you wear if. It’s impossible not to. A huge grin broke across his face. So does this mean you like me in this shirt ? I sighed and sat up a little straighter . I’m mature for my age , Jax not blind .

Book Review: We should hang out sometime Embarrassingly , a true story by Josh Sundquist

We Should Hang Out Sometime: Embarrassingly, a True StoryWe Should Hang Out Sometime: Embarrassingly, a True Story by Josh Sundquist
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June 10-14

A bright, poignant, and deeply funny autobiographical account of coming of age as an amputee cancer survivor, from Josh Sundquist: Paralympic ski racer, YouTube star, and motivational speaker.

Josh Sundquist only ever had one girlfriend.
For twenty-three hours.
In eighth grade.

Why was Josh still single? To find out, he tracked down the girls he had tried to date and asked them straight up: What went wrong?

The results of Josh’s semiscientific, wholly hilarious investigation are captured here. From a disastrous Putt-Putt date involving a backward prosthetic foot, to his introduction to CFD (Close Fast Dancing), to a misguided “grand gesture” at a Miss America pageant, this story is about looking for love–or at least a girlfriend–in all the wrong places.

Review- I really loved this book I thought it was really funny it made me laugh many times . I sometimes read nonfiction but what I loved about this it just felt like a story not about someone’s life I did love the parts with graphs and when he would go back and talk to the girls of the failed relationships. I read this with audiobook so it was the experience even more better everyone should read it . And I love the line we should hang out sometime .And I could understand what Josh was going through see I have a learning difference and no way am I comparing loosing a limb to a learning difference it’s just I understand how people act when they learn that one thing about you.

Favorite Quotes-
Sometimes the best moments are the spontaneous ones you don’t plan for.

Too late , already worried .
That’s because you haven’t heard about my boots yet .
um , what i’ve got a pair of steel-toed boots under my bunk bed in my door , explained kyle . The next time you see Lily , if you don’t have have a DTR , I am going to put on those boots and I am going to kick you as hard as I possibly can in your balls.
excuse me ?
You heard me .
You’re serious ?
in your balls.
Steel ?
Yes , it’s an iron alloy. I’m sure you’ve heard of it.
Are you joking ?
Do I look like I’m joking ?
He doesn’t look like he joking , interjected Brad .
Did I mention I was the starting forward of my high school soccer team ? Asked Kyle . I’ve got a mean left foot .
The next time I see her ?
or else .
Dude…. I said , incredulous
Steel . Your balls . Think about .
I sighed , surrendering . Okay , you leave me no other
choice . Next time I see her it is .
You do that , my boots stay under my bed .
Thanks , I guess ?
What else are friends for ?

But when you’re faced with a significantly life- altering negative situation you can’t control , you grasp at the little things you can control . The little opportunities where you can make choices for yourself.

Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3)Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

may 28-29

Summary
The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and Hollow City, called “a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love.”

With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn’t know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won’t keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life. He promises to help Juliette master her powers and save their dying world . . . but that’s not all he wants with her.

Review- OKAY DON’T TOUCH ME AFTER READING THIS BOOK this book was my favorite of the series many reasons *cough* WARNER . Okay so this book was crazy so omega point has been destroyed and Juliette is thinking all her friends are dead and Warner takes her to where omega point once stood kenji is there holy crap was I so happy he was there and that he wasn’t dead . So the only people living are Kenji , Adam , James , Winston , Brendon , Lily , Castle , Allia , and Ian . The rest were killed so Kenji starts to break down and Juliette picks him up oh my god one of my favorite scenes. He takes her to Adam’s old place and I despised Adam in this book he was a freaking jackass so Juliette wants to fight and Adam thinks it’s a loss cause and then warner shows up and Adam flips out. And Warner we know he’s in love with Juliette but she doesn’t want to admit she’s in love with him she’s attracted to him many times she would just stare at him one time he was in just a towel *BLUSHES* oh god so warner makes an offer to kenji and is like come with us and we will all fight against the reestablishment and Anderson and he doesn’t agree at first but then he does . Kenji asks Juliette why she likes Warner cause he really wants to know I loved there friendship in this book there was this one scene where Juliette was just looking at warner working out I was laughing cause Kenji is like you have probably seen him in less and oh god this guy has an amazing closest . so Warner tells Juliette so everything I told you was a lie I didn’t want to use you as weapon I wanted to study you cause my mother is very sick and they have a similar ability except his mother is more extreme she can’t even touch herself so sad . And Juliette doesn’t even know what to do with that then we find out where his scars come from his father whipped him holy shit what a bastard . So Adam was such a jerk to Juliette in this book she yells at him many times one time when kenji finally convinced adam to come with them it was so bad cause he was becoming phically abusive holy shit adam shut the hell up and I just wanted Juliette to just be with Warner at this point . But Adam made Kenji and Juliette touch WTF dude but then we find out she can control her touch and it was amazing then she goes to warner and she finally admits she loves him and then they have sexy fun times . Oh god so amazing oh the scene Warner finds out that Adam and him are related oh god I was so sure Warner was going to kill Adam cause Adam said his fathers name and Warner thought he was a spy but Juliette is like no you guys are brothers I don’t know how they are going to break that to James I did like when James and warner first met so cute I loved the scene where she killed Anderson so badass and then she is in charge now and it ended so nice with just her and warner on the roof so cute I loved this series so much amazing ending Warnette for life .
Quotes-
Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures.
No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh.”

You’re not attracted to him ?
I’m attracted to you .
I’m serious , he says
so an I .
Warner’s still staring at me . He blinks, once
Don’t you believe me ? I ask .
He looks away .
Can’t you tell ? I ask him . Can’t you feel it ?
And I am either losing my mind or Warner just blushed

I don’t think I’ve ever been more attracted to him in all the time I’ve known him.
kenji pulls up next to me . Nods at warner . So this gets you going , huh ?
I’m mortified.
Kenji barks out a laugh.
I’ve never seen him in sweatpants before . I try to sound normal . I’ve never seen him in shorts . Kenji raises an eyebrow at me . I bet you’ve seen him in less.
I want to die

I’m not falling for Warner , I say quietly
sure you aren’t
I’m not , I insist . I’m just-I don’t know . I sight I don’t know what’s happening to me .
They’re called hormones .
I shoot him a dirty look . I’m serious.
Me too. He cocks his head at me me . That’s like biological and shit . Scientific . Maybe your lady bits are scientifically confused . My lady bits ?
oh I’m sorry- Kenji pretends to look offended – would you rather I use he proper anatomical terminology ? cause you lady bits do not scare me .

So smooth , Lilly says to Kenji , and realize it’s the first time I’ve really heard her speak . I bet you win over all the eligible woman by telling them they’re like sister to you. I bet the ladies are just lining up to jump into bed with your punkass.
Rude . Kenji crosses his arms .
James is laughing . You see what I have to deal with ? Kenji says to him. There’re so love for Kenji . I give and I give and I give , and get nothing in return . I need a woman who will appreciate all of this he says , gesturing to the length of his body.

there’s a strange kind of freedom in the dark ; a terrifying venerability we allow ourselves at exactly the wrong moment , tricked by the darkness into thinking it will keep our secrets . We forget that the blackness is not not a blanket ; we forget that the sun will soon rise . But in the moment , at least we feel brave enough to say things we’d never say in the light

“Why do you call her ‘love’?” James asks. “I’ve heard you say that before, too. A lot. Are you in love with her? I think Adam’s in love with her. Kenji’s not in love with her, though. I already asked him.”
Warner blinks at him.
“Well?” James asks.
“Well what?”
“Are you in love with her?”
“Are you in love with her?”
“What?” James blushes. “No. She’s like a million years older than me.”
“Would anyone else like to take over this conversation?” Warner asks, looking around the group.”

“And we are quotation marks, inverted and upside down, clinging to one another at the end of this life sentence. Trapped by lives we did not choose.”

Are you out of your goddamn mind? You think we can take on two hundred soldiers? I know I am an extremely attractive man, J, but I am not Bruce Lee.”
“Who’s Bruce Lee?”
“Who’s Bruce Lee?” Kenji asks, horrified. “Oh my God. We can’t even be friends anymore.”
“Why? Was he a friend of yours?”
“You know what,” he says, “just stop. Just—I can’t even talk to you right now.”

The tattoo is just setting below his hp bone.
H e l l i s e m p t y
a n d a l l t h e d e v i l s a r e h e r e

I kiss my way across the words.
Kissing away the devils.
Kissing away the pain.”

You’re a coward,” he whispers. “You want to be with me and it terrifies you. And you’re ashamed,” he says. “Ashamed you could ever want someone like me. Aren’t you?” He drops his gaze and his nose grazes mine and I can almost count the millimeters between our lips. I’m struggling to focus, trying to remember that I’m mad at him, mad about something, but his mouth is right in front of mine and my mind can’t stop trying to figure out how to shove aside the space between us.
“You want me,” he says softly, his hands moving up my back, “and it’s killing you.”
I jerk backward, breaking away, hating my body for reacting to him, for falling apart like this. My joints feel flimsy, my legs have lost their bones. I need oxygen, need a brain, need to find my lungs—
“You deserve so much more than charity,” he says, his chest heaving. “You deserve to live. You deserve to be alive.” He’s staring at me, unblinking.
“Come back to life, love. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

“Stop.
Stop time.
Stop the world.
Stop everything for the moment he crosses the room and pulls me into his arms and pins me against the wall and I’m spinning and standing and not even breathing but I’m alive so very very alive.

“When are you putting me down?” he counters, no longer amused. “I mean, I’ve got an excellent view of your ass from here, but if you don’t mind me staring -”
I drop him without thinking.
“Goddammit, Juliette – what the hell -”
“How’s the view from down there?” I stand over his splayed body, arms crossed over my chest.
“I hate you.”

Book Review: unravel me Tahereh Mafi

Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2)Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

May 24-28

Summary-
Juliette is still haunted by her deadly touch. But now that she has teamed up with other rebels with powers of their own, she’ll be able to fight back against The Reestablishment to save her broken world. With the help of these new allies, she’ll also finally learn the secret behind Adam’s—and Warner’s—immunity to her killer skin.

Unravel Me is perfect for fans who crave action-packed young adult novels with tantalizing romance like Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Legend by Marie Lu. Ransom Riggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, raves: “A thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love, the Shatter Me series is a must-read for fans of dystopian young-adult literature—or any literature!”

Review – okay so this book was amazing crazy I laughed and cried and I’m officially TEAM WARNER just the feels are so real I hated him in the first book in the novella I was like aww but in this book holy crap. So we first start out with Juliette feeling sorry for herself I think I like Kenji way more now because he is like stop feeling sorry for yourself you aren’t the only person with problems . . I was like yeah you tell her Kenji and Kenji his lines he says have literately had me laughing for minutes. So we find out that Adam his power he can turn off powers and that he’s been weakening himself and then they get all hot and heavy one day and she hurts him he’s fine but still. There are other characters I love also Brendon winston the twins all so different but I love them . So they go out in disuse one day and Juliette is finally making friends her and Adam break up I was really unhappy at the time but now that I’m seeing it from what I know now Adam doesn’t really make her anything with him she has no backbone she doesn’t stand up for herself but with Warner she can be herself she doesn’t have to shy herself away .oh that scene with Anderson holy crap that guy is nuts and then Juliette shoots him and then Adam comes in is like that’s my father HOLY CRAP WTF adam and warner are related wow that’s crazy they take warner with them as hostage and oh Anderson took Brendon and Winston doochebag we also found out Warner’s first name AAron . okay so can we talk about the scene where warner showed Juliette his tatto not the ignite one the Shakespeare one holy crap that was oh my god so intimate . oh and chapter 62 wow what the hell that is so freaking hot and then juliette has to mess it up he was like I want you to call me Aaron now I was crying at that point he is opening up to her and what and then he sneaks out and the war has started and she gets taken and anderson shoots her holy shit the twins heal her though warner oh god this book was amazing I love this series I’m on the last one .
Favorite Quotes-
It’s always ‘Shut up, Kenji.’ ‘Go to sleep, Kenji.’ ‘No one wants to see you naked, Kenji.’ When I know for a fact that there are thousands of people who would love to see me naked—

I want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. The one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head. I want to be that kind of friend. The one who will memorize the things you say as well as the shape of your lips when you say them. I want to know every curve, every freckle, every shiver of your body.

I want to know where to touch you, I want to know how to touch you. I want to know convince you to design a smile just for me. Yes, I do want to be your friend. I want to be your best friend in the entire world.

“I want so many things,” he whispers. “I want your mind. Your strength. I want to be worth your time.” His fingers graze the hem of my top and he says “I want this up.” He tugs on the waist of my pants and says “I want these down.” He touches the tips of his fingers to the sides of my body and says, “I want to feel your skin on fire. I want to feel your heart racing next to mine and I want to know it’s racing because of me, because you want me. Because you never,” he says, he breathes, “never want me to stop. I want every second. Every inch of you. I want all of it.”

Jesus , he gasps , jumping away from me . I’m very flattered , love, but you could’ve given me a chance to put my pants on .
307

So what’s up with your suit ? I ask him .
What do you mean , what’s up with it ? He frowns he runs his hands down his outfit . This suit is badass .
I bite back a smile . I just meant , why are you wearing a suit ? Why do you get one and Adam doesn’t ?
He shrugs . Adam doesn’t need one . Few people do – it all depends on what kind of gift we have . For me , this suit makes my life a hell of a lot easier . I don’t always use it , but when I need to get serious about a mission , it really helps . Like , when I need to blend into a background , he explains , it’s less complicated if I’m shifting one solid color- hence the black . And if I have too many layers and too many extra pieces floating around my body , I have to focus that much more on making sure I blend all the details . if I’m one solid piece and one solid color , I’m a much better chameleon . Besides , he adds , stretching out the muscles in his arms , I look sexy as hell in this outfit .

Have you ever had a girlfriend Kenji ?
what ? He looks mortally offended . Do I look like the kind of guy who’s never had a girlfriend ? Have you even met me ?

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

May 21-24
Summary-
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS !

Review – Wow everyone talked about this book and I had tried to read it many times but just wasn’t in the mood so one night at 2 am I started to read it and was hooked I couldn’t stop reading this story .

Juliette has this journal where she keeps her feelings I’M NOT INSANE I’M NOT INSANE was one of them she screams awake allot and then one day she gets taken by Soldiers and she meets Warner a crazy 19 year old boy who fascinates me and Adam is one of the soldiers I was like what Warner wants Juliette to be his weapon for the reestablishment . I loved the writing in the book it was so poetic . Adam is in charge of taking care of Juliette she doesn’t understand she likes Adam but doesn’t want to hurt him cause of her touch . Warner uses Juliette he makes her use her touch on someone he shot a guy he’s so crazy . Adam tells Juliette he can touch her how is he immune to her touch I still don’t understand that they want to get out he joined this so he could find her the scene in the shower wow that’s hot and he has the tattoo of the bird she dreamed about and he also dreamed about it how ? they plan to get out of here one day after Juliette and Adam were making out and Warner comes in he rips he dress and Adam points a gun to his head oh god they get out of there but Warner touched her how are two guys immune to her touch what ? they go to a safe place and we meet Adam’s younger brother James who I love also then we find Kenji has end up at Adam’s door I didn’t like him at first but I grew to like him he stays with James until Adam and Juliette can find a car but Adam gets shot and Warner finds Juliette and she notices his gun they end up kissing which was interesting and she shot him found Adam by using her power cut him down and they got the hell out of there Kenji brought them all to a safe place and this place has people with differnt powers Kenji he can make himself invisible wow and there is this British guy who can electrocute Adam is fine they are safe but they are going to war I loved this book I can’t wait to know what happens next .
Quotes –
I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.

The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”

Raindrops are my only reminder that clouds have a heartbeat. That I have one, too.”

Girls are always talking about electricity in their romance, but none are too happy to actually be electrocuted, apparently. Bloody confusing, is what it is.”

This must be difficult for you.
Excuse me ?
Looking at my face . Realizing I was right you made the wrong decision . “He shrugs . “I understand . I’m not a proud man , you know . I’d be willing to forgive you.
I gape at him unsure whether to laugh or throw something. Don’t make me touch you. He shakes his head . It’s incredible how someone can look so right and feel so wrong . Kent is a lucky bastard.

Dante kisses Ari as an experiment Ari says it doesn’t work for him total lies I mean you don’t kiss guys back your not into or in general if your not gay . When his dad confronts Ari and says in in love with Dante Ari starts crying cause he doesn’t want to admit it but we all know he is so after bowling one night he and dante go look at the stars and Dante doesn’t want to be friends with Ari cause it’s to hard cause he’s in love with him but then Ari kisses Dante I was crying at this point I loved this book so much I will be reading this book over and over again .

Quotes.
I took Dante’s hand and held it.
How could I have ever been ashamed of loving Dante Quintana ?

From the minute I’d met Dante , I had fallen in love with him . I just didn’t let myself know it , think it feel it . My father was right . And it was truth what my mother says . We all fight our own private wars.

My name’s Dante , he said. that made me laugh harder . sorry I said
it’s okay . people laugh at my name ,
No, no I said . see, it’s just that my name’s Aristotle .

there are worse things in the world than a boy who likes to kiss other boys .
