this book made me laugh, cry, feel excitement.. just everything !
The plot is just the dream of every fangirl. It mixes tv shows and books and fanfics. WIth this boo I realized I really loved the secret identity trope, I was just screaming for Marcus to tell everything to April. I also loved the whole authenticity of the book, except the premise of the celebrity dating the fan there were so much moments were I told myself “that's exactly it” for example the plus size representation : we see throughout the book the people surrounding April giving her advices for her health supposedly or what she should eat or do without thinking that it could be something else or hurtful, every fat person exactly knows that ! I liked that during sex scenes there were desciptions of stretch marks, so much women have them for hundreds of reason but even in plus size romances they never mention it. And lastly I liked the fact that april's taste was not described as something sweet, every woman knows that it's just a lie but every romance describes it as honey like for example. It quite balanced the premise of the book that is not really realistic.
I also liked the representation of difficult relationships with parents and the fact that we don't owe people, even the one we loved, forgiveness.
This book was just cute, fluffy and super sexy. I would love to see the second book about Alex and Lauren, they seem to have a really fun and cute relationship.
livre très agréable à lire grâce avec une écriture poétique et agréable à lire malgré le peu de dialogue présent.
malheureusement il n'y aucune intrigue, le fils ne rencontre pas son père inconnu. Ce livre nous donne des tranches de vie au hasard, sans logique apparente, il n'y a ni problématique ni résolution. Ce qui sauve ce livre c'est son écriture et le fait qu'il soit court.
lecture pour le prix étudiant télérama et france culture.
After my deception with my favorite half night stand my favorite duo is back at it !
This book is just great. The characters are funny and intelligent, with the story they evolve and we really have the impression of depth. The story is cute and well built, the forced proximity is working well and see them build their relationship. With that they both have good reasons to hate each other even if it is a misunderstanding. It's funny, sexy and as always well written.
This dark version of Scooby Doo follows four kids and a dog during their summers they spend in a small town resolving cases. until their last one which seems to wreck all of them.
Years later as one of them is dead they decide to come back and find the truth behind all of it.
I enjoyed this book, I liked the vibe and the plot of something deeper hiding behind all this. but this book seemed like it never ended, and I think it comes from the fact that there is no chapter because I was not bored reading it but it felt like I was not moving forward in it. The characters were great with different ways to cope with the trauma, they have their own personality that gives something to the story. It is really mysterious with different aspects of it and plot twists.
The last thing that bothered me was the writing of dialogues that changes from time to time without a reason.
Jenny is coming back to Chesapeake Shore after a very public and difficult break up with country star Caleb. Even if her relationship with her family is complicated seeing over and over her boyfriend with another woman is too complicated. But after a rehab Caleb is coming to Chesapeake Shore reading to win her back over.
I dived in this book not knowing a thing except that it took place during Christmas. And I must say I was not ready to see the character that cheated come back. I hate cheating trope ! But I must give to Sherryl Woods that her book was really good. I liked the story that mingled family and love and show that it is normal to have struggles to acclimate to a new family. Even though the characters had nothing particular the story has this Christmas ambiance, the story was super cute and even if Caleb cheated it was impossible for me not to like him.
My only complaint is that for the end is not done well. The last chapter before the epilogue is done so quickly, even if I knew what was going to happen I would have liked something more worked on.
Overall, with the holidays coming, I totally recommend this book which is quite short.
This second and last part of this comic is, just as the first one, a success.
The girl's adventure to the treasure of Mary is still going. The art is great and the story hooking. I loved that the 4 girls are different from each other and complete each other.
It's quick to read and I really enjoyed it. It's perfect if you are need of adventure but not ready to dive in a whole novel.
Leo is 11 and want to conquer the world but seems to always be too little for everything. These days she is sure her parents are hiding something from her and she is ready to know what it is.
Cute, funny and magical. This book will juste warm you up from the inside. Just the fact that Leo's family is making magic through bakery is adorable ! Who doesn't want to do that ?? Even if Leo is making mistakes she is just full of good intentions. This book is adapted to younger of older people. Like I said it's cute and magical. The writing is good and the story correctly paced.
I really recommend it.
Dot, Karma, Wylder and Macy are four young girls looking for anything interesting in their once famous town. Indeed Canon Cove lost its shininess decades after a famous movie was shot there. But as one of the inhabitants dies they discover that the town could have its own treasure.
This first volume is really good : first the pace is perfect, the way they find the map to the treasure doesn't seem like out of nowhere. They, as a group, are looking for clues. They all have different skills to help find it.
With that the characters are all so different, representing a wide range of characteristics. The art is great with perfect coloring to create a mood and set.
If you like adventure it's perfect for you.
Brianna is the daughter of a worldwide known chef. She has 15 older brothers with that. As their father is dying he challenges all of his children. They have to create their own restaurant and the most successful one will inherit the name and legacy of the family. So Brianna decides to move to Monster City to create her restaurant.
TW : Anxiety
Overall I liked this graphic novel. The drawings are great, colorful. I like the mix of monsters and humans. The restaurant and Brianna are really cute. I also really liked the fact that it shows anxiety, something very common and unknown by many. Even if it was very cute I was not attached more than that to the characters, something was missing and I can't really explain it.

First of all I was just not the target audience for this book clearly. It's written for a younger audience, and if I read it when I was in high school or a little younger I would have probabl been obsseced with it. It's well written, easy to read and to follow. It's full of references to popular book that all bookworm know about. The plit is great too, there is a real story and goal that drives the characters together, it's well paced. But I'm just too old for it.
My first read for the latinx book bingo (https://twitter.com/LatinxBookBingo)
The three children of the dare family are visiting their grandmother in her hotel in mexico. But as time is passing and they get bored, they discover that the hotel contains more than just rooms.
I really loved that book ! The style is great, it's colorful and the drawings are beautiful. The story is full of adventures but also full of important subjects. It talks about family, adoption, how family is more than just blood. It's also full of latin references such as recipes and activities. It just kept me hooked, I read it in less than two hours, it warmed my heart and soul. I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a quick but great read. The only read I didn't give it a 5 stars is because I would have liked a little more time between the beginning of the book and the beginning of the adventure.
I started to watch Gravity Falls again and was really curious to read this graphic novel with all new adventures.
And I was not disappointed ! It's clear that the creator of the series is behind this book. The atmosphere is the same, the drawings too. All the adventures could be episodes of the series for sure. It's cute, funny and adventurous. I flew through it and loved it so much ! My favorite one was Comix Up. The characters are thrown in a world of comics with their own styles and characters. I just wish more of these comics were made because I will never get tired of it.
