The confusion and sheer thrill this book gave me, I picked it up because of the lack of commitment was alluring as this is standalone.
i enjoyed this book a lot even though I have mixed feelings about it as a whole, i've never read a book built like this before, it's a thriller revolving around a warm dynamic of sisterhood, the element of the ocean is utterly gorgeous, the book overall is precious yet can get so haunting sometimes. It's so well crafted and its pacing and attention to detail are deserving of 4 stars.
I read this book on a whim because I was overwhelmed and wanted a break out of life , and well ,
opening a book is what i usually do and so I kept reading and reading until I hit the point where the plot played like a movie in my head with the perfect voiceovers and settings and that sweet sensation made everything feel okay for that night , so giving this book 4 stars maybe a stretch but it really was sweet and enjoyable, the tropes of there was only one bed + enemies to lovers + endless bickering + found family gave me LIFE, just drown me in that shit , in the end , my dumbass found comfort in these precious 400 something pages of a book that I've picked up randomly, and it's worth mentioning that i finished it a half a day , so maybe it that great of a book.
“hello , i hope somebody is listening”
i just finished radio silence by Alice Oseman and i genuinely don't know what to do with myself, although i did know it was a lot to take in one sitting, i kept turning the pages and holding my breath and getting lost of the lives of strangers that i knew very that theydidn't exist but nevertheless felt that i've known my entire life .
i have read books that moved me before , but not like this , not this real , this book felt like a hug , i felt like reading something i had written because oh my god every character was a reflection of everything that i am , the writing was so raw and fragile that it made me hear the voices of the characters so clearly , the topics hit very close to home that I felt my heart breaking more times than i'd like to admit , the story made me wanna scream into a void. “radio silence”truly is a great book and i would give it a billion stars if i could .
FIRST READ OF 2020 LET'S GO BABYYYY .
this book takes a moment to hold self together
“vicious” blew me away , i mainly read it because V.E Schwab is my favorite author and although i had had expectations and all , it ws a very impressive and fun book to read , i LOVE the way she writes so much , everything was nothing less than perfect , the pacing , the plot , the world building and furthermore THE CHARACTERS oh god woah , i love one evil man and his name is Victor Vale .
i have no words that express how much i loved this book !!! there is scheming , supervillains , saving the world , pain , emotions and AAAAAAH i'm a sucker for all of that .
N.B: this review will be all over the place for the simple fact that I read through 275 pages in one sitting on release day and am currently having a breakdown over it.
this series truly did a number on me.
I was overwhelmed to say the least , baffled , impressed , you name it ... in the very end, i teared up because even though the wait for the release of the final book wasn't long for me, it was worth every second, I missed my idiots, Cardan and Jude, i missed how the author unfolded each event of the story and the beauty of it all.
the awe and rush of emotions that these three books gave me , there has truly never been a dull moment.
YAY for positive and genuine Muslim representation in literature!!!!
“The more I got to know people, the more I realized we were all just a bunch of frightened idiots walking around, in the dark, bumping into each other and panicking for no reason at all.
so I started turning on the light. “
note that I closed the book and stared at the wall for a good minute upon reading that.
reading this book was fluffy thanks to the romance and dynamic of the characters, warm thanks to the Muslim family aspect and so fun and empowering all along, wrapping it up felt like saying goodbye to a new friend.
I salute Tahereh Mafi for writing this poignant book especially for the fact that it was inspired by her teenage life, i have tremendous newfound respect and love for her.
One of the easiest five stars that i'd given a book, talk about a mf sequel!!!!
this series did a number on me, i fucking love the characters so so much, i'm looking at you Jude Duarte and Cardan Greenbriar . The plot is so piercing and unexpected that i refused to read it in public to avoid the humiliation when i scream at jude or have my mouth opened wide in shock , which happened a BUNCH of times. all in all,this book remains one of my fantasy books.
This book makes me want to scream into a void, in the best way possible, the dynamic of Cardan and Jude , i love this series so so much, completely shattered and impressed me at the same time ?! (Books can do that).
i genuinely love this series so much and i am counting down the days to the release of queen of nothing .
Side note : i am terrified.
this book was one the first books i've picked , my younger self didn't appreciate it enough , but I reread it this year , and I still felt the overflowing love I have for this work of art , the writing is vulnerable and real and all the characters have so much character , and what it does for the representation of mental illness in the media is most impressive , this book feels like a hug .
First review and book of 2021 babyyy!!!
I'M SO ATTACHED TO THIS BOOK , FUCK
It's so wholesome just like the movie, there is a warmness and comfort to coming of age stories like no other, the way they cradle a troubled young adult (me and a billion others) to thinking that everything will be okay eventually. This book is just so sweet my heart beams when i look at it .
I've read this a long time ago , but this series and this book in particular have such a precious place in my heart , reading “the one” is a beautiful journey i wish i could relive everyday , this book is truly a masterpiece as long as i am concerned.
this book started out okay and is decent overall , but it falls short it terms of comparing to the first three books of the series , which still is one of the sweetest romances I've read to this day , this spinoff was pretty much unnecessary .
I wonder if Victoria Schwab had a coffee with the devil after writing this book because reading it as the final book in the monsters of verity series makes me want to set myself on fire .
A DAMN MASTERPIECE.
Action packed, awesome introduction to the protagonist , wonderfully built. One of my fav reading experiences to date
the final chapter drops on april 9th ouch.
Attack on Titan overall is the most concise and impressive work of art that i've come across in a while, i've gotten so incredibly attached to the story it just feels like a part of me now, my sweet characters will be so dearly missed.
we love a stereotype breaker in this household!!!!! a great manifestation of complex protagonists that can BOTH hold their ground!! side characters that are motivated and serve a purpose!!!! cute lover dynamic!! what's there not to love about this webtoon, officially second all-time favorite right after “devil number 4”.
