Book Review: isla and the happily ever after Stephanie Perkins

Isla and the Happily Ever After (Anna and the French Kiss, #3)Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

read from August 20- September 8

Summary -Love ignites in the City That Never Sleeps, but can it last?

Hopeless romantic Isla has had a crush on introspective cartoonist Josh since their first year at the School of America in Paris. And after a chance encounter in Manhattan over the summer, romance might be closer than Isla imagined. But as they begin their senior year back in France, Isla and Josh are forced to confront the challenges every young couple must face, including family drama, uncertainty about their college futures, and the very real possibility of being apart.

Featuring cameos from fan-favorites Anna, Étienne, Lola, and Cricket, this sweet and sexy story of true love—set against the stunning backdrops of New York City, Paris, and Barcelona—is a swoonworthy conclusion to Stephanie Perkins’s beloved series.

Review- isla is at kismet when she sees her crush from school Josh she’s kind of high on meds from getting her wisdom teeth out and Josh and isla talk and he draws her and then she wants to see him again but he wasn’t at kismet they go back to school and she sees josh again they start talking and hanging out and then josh says to isla she likes him and then they start dating it’s so cute there date and then they decide to go to Barcelona Josh says it would be fine they go they have a great time they go to the hotel and have sex it was beautiful and then it goes bad they get caught josh gets expelled isla is mad a kurt and hattie cause Kurt told hattie and nate overheard Josh heads back to NYC and Isla is in france she is applying to dartmath and Josh is planing on going to this cartoonist school then allot of things go bad it’s hard for them to talk his father is up for reelection and around then isla gets a package it’s his graphic novel and isla isn’t a fan cause well his ex girlfriend is there allot but she’s there at the end and she tells josh this and it isn’t very nice and they g et in a stupid fight and isla picks at that josh doesn’t really love her and Josh keeps calling and calling and when isla finally realizes josh does love her it’s to late . Until when she gets back to school and she makes up with Hattie and gives her the treehouse and Hattie tells her that she mailed the signed book isla got josh and then josh calls her he’s in france he wants isla to meet his friends . Anna st. clair lola cricket and even Meredith is there and then something big happens St.clair propses to Anna OH MY GOD it was so cute . Josh walks isla home and gives her the graphic novel again but it’s different this time and she finishes it and she runs to him so cute they spend two weeks together . then it’s june and there back at kismet and josh is finished with the book and they on the happily ever after I loved it isla is going to darthmath and there going to be together I loved there story and it was nice to see my other favorites also.

Favorite quotes – does this…does this mean you want to be my boyfriend?” My question sounds both immature and momentous. But Josh doesn’t flinch.
“Yes,” he says. “I want.”

“We’re enveloped in pitch black. “Wait here,” I whisper.
“Are you getting your ax?”
“Handcuffs.”
“Kinky. But, okay, I’ll try it.”

“Several yards away – closer to the cathedral’s legendary carved doorways – Anna and St. Clair are standing on top of Point Zéro. It’s been hand-brushed clear of its dusting of snow. Point Zéro is the bronze marker, a star, which designates the official centre of France. There are at least two superstitions about it. One is that anyone who stands on the star will return to France. The other is that you can use it to make a wish.
“Wait for it,” Josh says.

Lola stands straighter, excited. “No!”

“Yes,” Cricket says.

I’m the last one in the dark, until – suddenly – it happens. St. Clair removes something from his pocket. And then he gets down on one knee.

Anna’s entire body lights with shock and joy and love. She nods a vigorous yes. St. Clair places the ring on her finger. He stands, she throws her arms around him, and they kiss. He spins her in a circle. They kiss again. Deep, hungry, long. And then he turns to us and waves – with the biggest smile I’ve ever seen – clearly aware that we’ve been standing here the whole time.”

This One SummerThis One Summer by Mariko Tamaki
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

August 26-26

Summary -Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. It’s their getaway, their refuge. Rosie’s friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is different.

It’s a summer of secrets and sorrow and growing up, and it’s a good thing Rose and Windy have each other.

In This One Summer two stellar creators redefine the teen graphic novel. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, the team behind Skim, have collaborated on this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story about a girl on the cusp of her teen age—a story of renewal and revelation.

Book Review: if i stay Gayle forman

If I Stay (If I Stay, #1)If I Stay by Gayle Forman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

August 13-23

Summary -The critically acclaimed, bestselling novel from Gayle Forman, author of Where She Went, Just One Day, and the forthcoming Just One Year.

On a day that started like any other, Mia had everything: a loving family, a gorgeous, admiring boyfriend, and a bright future full of music and full of choices. In an instant, almost all of that is taken from her. Caught between life and death, between a happy past and an unknowable future, Mia spends one critical day contemplating the only decision she has left. It is the most important decision she’ll ever make.

Simultaneously tragic and hopeful, this is a romantic, riveting, and ultimately uplifting story about memory, music, living, dying, loving.

Review – I wanted to read If i stay before the movie came out it has officially came out I haven’t seen it yet though I’m seeing it today I can’t wait . If I stay is about Mia she is a cello player and on her way to being at juliard in new york and leaving her rocker boyfriend Adam one day Mia and her family are driving and it’s snowing like really bad and they get into a car crash her entire family dies but she’s kind of floating over her body like she is a ghost but not really what I loved about this book was the writing it was beautifully written this book is taken place in 24 hours so instead of chapters there is time . I love the Flashbacks like Adam and Mia’s first date it was so cute Adam and Mia share the love of music and I love that . Mia’s family are kind of rockers to Mia’s dad was in a band with there family friend Henry and I love Henry’s wife Willow she’s awesome she’s a nurse and she totally takes charge in getting Adam into see Mia . Mia fallows her body back to the hospital and through this she goes through surgery and sapose to be fine if she can breathe on her own . Now when Adam hears about Mia he has to get in to see her and Kim and Adam almost get arrested if it weren’t for Willow , Adam and Kim get this rocker girl to come and cause a ruckus and that mean nurse gets them out and then Willow steps in and Adam talks to Mia and then he leaves he says he’s going to come back . Kim talks to Mia and tells her even though her family has died she still has a family which was sweet and I started crying I love there friendship . Adam comes back and he tells her he wants her to stay and if she needed him to go he would then she’s back she squeezes his hand and she’s back I loved this book so much I cried I swooned at the romance it was very good .

Favorite quotes –

“If I stay. If I live. It’s up to me.
All this business about medically induced comas is just doctor talk. It’s not up to the doctors. It’s not up to the absentee angels. It’s not even up to God who, if He exists, is nowhere around right now. It’s up to me.”

“How am I supposed to decide this? How can I possibly stay without mom and dad? How can I leave without Teddy? Or Adam? This is too much. I don’t even understand how it all works, why I’m here in the state that I’m in or how to get out of it if I wanted to. If I were to say, I want to wake up, would I wake up right now? I’ve already tried snapping my heels to find Teddy and tried to beam myself to Hawaii, and that didn’t work. This seems a whole lot more complicated.
But in spite of that, I believe it’s true. I hear the nurse’s words again. I am running the show. Everyone’s waiting on me.
I decide. I know this now.
And this terrifies me more than anything else that has happened today.”

“But the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I’ll be in love with tomorrow.”

I’m not sure this is a world I belong in anymore. I’m not sure that I want to wake up.

“If you stay, I’ll do whatever you want. I’ll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I’ll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it’d be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I’d do it. I can lose you like that if I don’t lose you today. I’ll let you go. If you stay.”

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

read August 18- 20

Summary -Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion…she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit–more sparkly, more fun, more wild–the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.

When Cricket–a gifted inventor–steps out from his twin sister’s shadow and back into Lola’s life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.

Favorite quotes – Lola, you were the only person I wanted there that night. I was crazy about you, but I didn’t know what to do. It was paralzing . There were so many times when I wanted to take your hand , but…. I couldn’t . That one small move felt impossible . Now I’m staring at my hands , too . I would have let you take it . I know his voice cracks. Page 133

Remember that that I made you the elevator ? he suddenly asks I gave him a faint smile . How could I forget ? that was the day I had my first kiss . My smile fades . I’m better now . he sets the apple beside me . At kissing just so you . Page 135

And he’s been in my bedroom , and I’ve been in his . And I want him , Max I want him . He’s shacking with rage . Get . out . I grab my purse and throw open his front door . I never want to see you again . His voice is deathly low . You are nothing to me . Do you understand Yes I say . Thank you for making things so clear. Page 254

Anna Prods St. clair’s shoulder . Come on . weren’t you going to show me that thing ? what thing ? she stares at him . he stares back. She cocks her head toward cricket and me. ah , yes St. clair stands that thing. they rush out . The door shuts, and St. Clair shouts Lola cricket wants to show you his thing too-oo! page 295

Book Review: attachments rainbow rowell

AttachmentsAttachments by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

July 12-16

Summary-“Hi, I’m the guy who reads your e-mail, and also, I love you . . . ”

Beth Fremont and Jennifer Scribner-Snyder know that somebody is monitoring their work e-mail. (Everybody in the newsroom knows. It’s company policy.) But they can’t quite bring themselves to take it seriously. They go on sending each other endless and endlessly hilarious e-mails, discussing every aspect of their personal lives.

Meanwhile, Lincoln O’Neill can’t believe this is his job now- reading other people’s e-mail. When he applied to be “internet security officer,” he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers- not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke.

When Lincoln comes across Beth’s and Jennifer’s messages, he knows he should turn them in. But he can’t help being entertained-and captivated-by their stories.

By the time Lincoln realizes he’s falling for Beth, it’s way too late to introduce himself.

What would he say . . . ?

Review- Lincoln works at the newspaper where he reads emails to see if there are flags of bad things he starts reads Jennifer and Beth’s emails and he feels bad for reading them but he likes there emails . Lincoln lives with his mom and his sister thinks he should move out . I loved this book I did think it was a little weird he was getting paid to read emails but I liked Lincoln as a person he’s sweet and he cares Beth and Jen start talking about Lincoln as my cute guy I thought it was cute I loved Beth and Jen there great friends when Jen gets pregnant even though she didn’t want to get pregnant I loved how before she was pregnant she was buying baby clothes at the gap but then something really bad happens. Beth’s sister wedding was interesting Beth and her boyfriend broke up oh and Jen lost the baby so sad but Jen meets Lincoln he helps her with her tire how sweet. so Lincoln ends up quitting and he gives Beth a letter telling her everything . Beth and Lincoln officially meet at a movie theater then they end up talking Jen did get pregnant so cute they got together this book was super cute I loved it.

Quote –
Lincoln?” she asked.
“Yes?”
“Do you believe in love at first sight?”
He made himself look at her face, at her wide-open eyes and earnest forehead. At her unbearably sweet mouth.
“I don’t know,” he said. “Do you believe in love before that?”
Her breath caught in her throat like a sore hiccup.
And then it was too much to keep trying not to kiss her.”

There are moments when you can’t believe something wonderful is happening. And there are moments when your entire consciousness is filled with knowing absolutely that something wonderful is happening.

April 1- May 3

Review – on the night of a halloween party Jacqueline was almost raped she tried to get away but then a mystery boy (Lucas) shows up and beats the crap out of Buck what I didn’t get is why Jacqueline didn’t report it , It made me more angry she didn’t but she was just traumatized so she went home and then there comes some rumors that she hooked up with Buck the guy that almost raped her which made her even more angry then Lucas stared showing up everywhere her class starbucks after being dumped by Kenedy who I hate I just do she sits next to Benji who I love Jacqueline and Lucas relationship is weird they flirt and he ask to draw her which is total romantic she is also being tutored by Landon now when I started this book I’m like Landon , Lucas who do I like more there the same person Landon is lucas first name he goes by Lucas and Lucas lost his mother his mother was raped and murdered and he was in the same room as her that is so traumatic for someone to go through . When Jacquline finally told erin I was so happy cause she thought that erin wouldn’t believe her . And then something terrible happens Buck raped another girl I was so angry at this point and then Kennedy and some other frat assholes tried to get this girl to not tell I was like what the hell is your problem . and then one night before winter break when it was almost all and done she told people what happened her mom and then after telling Lucas that she looked up what happened to his mother and going to doctor Heller she left and Buck was there again and this time she fought and told and Lucas was there again I loved this book it was something I’ve never read before and I loved it I highly recommend it .

Favorite quotes -I want to see your tattoos you do huh ? page 137

You haven’t done anything wrong , so you have nothing to be worried about . Probably he just wants to make sure Lucas-Landon – sideshow bob – whoever- the hell- he is didn’t take advantage of you. Page 180

He released my wrists, and I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling out hearts beat in sync as lips fallowed a meandering path from my ear down . Choosing to be with you isn’t difficult decision , Jacqurline, he breathed , pulling back one final time to state into my eyes . It’s easy . Incredibly easy. Page 310

favorite quotes

She’s the eleven year old neighbor I was telling you about . The one I think is an imposter based on the things that come out her mouth . I’m beginning to suspect she’s a really tiny adult posing as a little redhead child. Page 8

And my suck would be the fact that an eleven year old has a larger vocabulary than me , page 14

Fair enough , I’ll drop it . But first I need to lay down some rules . No holding hands until your at least eleven and a half . No kissing until your thirteen. And no tongue until your fourteen. I mean fifteen. Once you get to that point, we’ll revisit the rules. Until then you stick to those. Page 64

Okay would you rather I look like Hugh jackman or George clooney Johnny Dep she says that answer was to fast for my comfort what the hell Lake ? your supposed to say Will! your supposed to say you want me to look like me but you weren’t the options she says neither was Johnny Dep . Page 286

Book Review: slammed Colleen Hoover

Slammed (Slammed, #1)Slammed by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

SUMMARY -Layken’s father died suddenly, leaving her to gather every ounce of strength to be a pillar for her family, in order to prevent their world from falling apart. Now her life is taking another unexpected turn…

Layken’s mother gets a job which leads to an unwanted move across the country. However, a new home means new neighbours… and Layken’s new neighbour is the very attractive Will Cooper.

Will has an intriguing passion for slam poetry, and a matching passion for life. The two feel an irresistible attraction but are rocked to the core when a shocking revelation brings their romance to a screeching halt. Layken and Will must find a way to fight the forces that threaten to tear them apart…or learn to live without each other.

Favorite quotes

Are you really going to make me admit that I have absolutely no life here ? I say page 31

Well your eighteen now . You’ve had enough of my dating advice for a lifetime , she says but I’ll provide you with a quick recap just in case . Don’t order anything with onion or garlic , never leave your drink unattended , and always use protection . Page 34
Ugh mom ! I roll my eyes you know I know rules and you know I don’t have to worry about the last one . Please don’t give will a recap of your rules . Promise ? I make her promise . Page 34
So tell me about will. Does he work ? Is he in college ? Is he a serial killer ? She says this with such sincerity . Page 34

“Does he treat you with respect at all times? That’s the first question. The second question is, if he is the exact same person twenty years from now that he is today, would you still want to marry him? And finally, does he inspire to be a better person? You find someone you can answer yes to all three, then you’ve found a good man

Book Review: Eleanor & park Rainbow Rowell

Eleanor & Park

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Read from February 17- 26

Summary -Set over the course of one school year in 1986, ELEANOR AND PARK is the story of two star-crossed misfits – smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you’ll remember your own first love – and just how hard it pulled you under.

Review – I had read fangirl last year and loved and I picked up Eleanor & park and fell in love with this romance but it didn’t start as a romance Eleanor is a big redhead and a little bit weird and wear’s men’s clothes but Eleanor has a tough life her stepdad kicked her out and she’s back a year later and she’s starting at a new school . Park the only Korean in omaha when he meets Eleanor he thinks she’s weird but lets her sit next to him there both misfits there different from everyone else I loved this book but I didn’t like Park at first I thought he was very judgmental to Eleanor I don’t like people who judge just cause of weight and looks but then things happen and I loved them Eleanor starts reading his comics over his shoulder I squeaked out of happiness and then he makes her mix tapes that’s adorable I thought this books was going to be adorable cause I did read fangirl and thought it was going to be this cute adorable romance I was so wrong I loved the mix point of view . they start talking about music and comics and I thought that was so sweet but Eleanor has problems he lives with his terrible step dad and siblings but there family’s are totally different park’s family his mom is a beautian everything changes between them they start dating and I loved there romance I loved that Park loved her even if she was curvy and had big red hair and I know how that feels I’m curvy I have big curly hair I loved when they had the first kiss and then allot of dates and I loved that Park’s mom is like I don’t like Eleanor and then as time goes on she sees allot things she relates to I loved that I loved the makeover scene I thought it was funny . I need a park in my life cause he’s adorable I love that he gets insecure to he tells eleanor there are no hot Asian guys I thought it was nice to see he didn’t see himself as hot and they had things in common in the end this is where shit gets real she comes home from a date with Park and she sees all the things with park everywhere and this message now through this book I thought the messages on the book was from Tina but no it was from her stepdad so she gets out and she’s running and there’s Tina saying like hey what’s wrong so she helps her and and her Tina and steve go to park and Eleanor says she has to leave so he takes her and they say there goodbyes and it was heartbreaking I loved this book so much I didn’t want it to end read it .

Quotes I love -She’d have to get up to let him have his spot by the window . Which would be akward . It was all akward . Every time the bus hit a pothole , Eleanor practically fell in the guy’s lap . Page 24
Eleanor was right : she looked like art , and art wasn’t supposed to look nice ; it was suppose to make you feel something . Page 165
