Review 

 

Most readers and authors alike are familiar with Wattpad. If you aren’t you’re missing out on some amazing reads. I suggest signing up here and navigating the website, there are some true gems. I’ve had Wattpad for a while, though I never really used it much. One day while scrolling through the app on my phone I came across a book by someone called Blondeanddangerous. Anyhow, I was like who’s this and what’s this book The Curves Ahead about, so I clicked and started reading. Then I realized I was on chapter 5…clearly nothing was going to get done until I finished this book.  So I made some coffee, sat my ass down and curled up on my sofa to continue reading this gem that had coincidentally captured my attention. 
Reading The Curves Ahead was like stepping into a magical land filled with fairies and unicorns…ok maybe I’m exaggerating a bit, but this book is amazing. I am still reveling in its awesomeness (yes, I said awesomeness). I love, love, loved it! The protagonist is one you will love and the journey she takes is both inspirational and eye opening. The author does an incredible job taking real world issues —- judgements, thoughts and struggles we all face and allows the reader to absorb current events and Evianna’s dilemmas and how they relate. In a way, this book may help you chase your own demons and face them head on. I really loved this story and how engulfed in these characters I became. I rooted for Evianna through every hurdle, every disappointment, every achievement, every regret. I laughed, I cried (seriously ugly tears) and I swooned. Through it all I was not left disappointed. The story is captivating and there is something everyone can relate to. It is a book about living, loving and learning. It is about growth and knowing yourself; being able to love and accept yourself and being able to put positive energy back into the world to gain love in return. Although there were some really heartbreaking moments, I loved every minute of this journey. The reality is, people face issues on a daily basis, Evianna’s story only reinforced a message of acceptance and finding your own path through every storm and hurdle thrown your way finding a way to come out on top. This is a beautiful story that every reader should read. I cannot stress how much I loved this story. I hope you will too.

Isn’t it a marvelous thought that everything in your entire life has led up to you being here, at this exact moment?

 

It is. But you could say that about being anywhere at any particular moment, couldn’t you?

 

He winked. “You could. That’s what makes every moment special: you are exactly where you’re meant to be.”

 

Happy Reading Lovelies xo

I Rize by S.T. Anthony Book Review

i-rize-final-2

First of all I need to acknowledge how amazing this book cover is. I ordered this book on Amazon a while back and the cover is what actually enticed me. I was curious to know what the book was about so I read the synopsis and downloaded the book. I’m glad I did because I really enjoyed this unique book. It is a very short read but it covers a very real problem today — Bullying. What I liked the most was that the author gave multiple perspectives. She went from bullied, to best friend, to parent, to love interest, to bully and back. It covered a wide range of issues that any person can relate to whether they’re fifteen or fifty. I truly loved that about this book. I spent a lot of time psycho analyzing characters because…well, that’s just something I do, but this book was written in a way where you could play devil’s advocate by understanding their own issues yet you could easily dislike them or feel absolutely no sympathy for them even through their own struggles. I’d rate this read at a 3.5-3.8. I enjoyed the style of writing as it is poetic but I would have loved a full length novel. I could actually see this YA book used in schools as a required reading. It would be a good pick.
