One True Loves By Taylor Jenkins Reid

Hey readers, I am literally 30 seconds finished with this book and I have to wipe away the tears and begin this review. This book goes something like this...
Boy meets girl at a party
They drink
the cops show up
they hide
they walk home once the coast is clear
they get caught
arrested
Fall in love
They get married
Emma and Jesse
live in California
she writes
he takes pictures
The day before their 1 year anniversary he travels
the helicopter crashes
hes dead
she grieves
she meets a familiar friend
she begins to love
they become engaged
Emma and Sam
Her phone rings
Its Jesse
He survived the crash and is coming home
Her seemingly perfect life is turned upside down
who will it be
Jesse, her first love, her past, her Husband
or
Sam, her friend, her new love, her Fiancee'

Okay i had to get creative, I couldn't just summarize this book because it was so poetic and beautiful. What i wrote is the jist of the story. Writing a formal review seems so boring and bleek by comparison after reading this heart wrenching story.

So here is what I thought. In the beginning I was all about Jesse and Emma. I loved their love because it was young love. Lets be honest young love makes your heart ache when you think back to the times you yourself were in love. Once Jesse was gone I was heartbroken for Emma. My husband works a tough job and It was hitting too close to home for me and I almost didn't read it. Then Sam came in and began to make Emma feel happy and normal again and I found myself falling for this man who came into Emma's life and made her feel whole again. Life for them ended up being perfect until Jesse called... Emma was left to decide if she wanted to be with her past or take on her future. A few days in Maine with Jesse was all the information she needed.

That is literally all I am willing to say about the summary of it, You have to read it to really understand it, It is one of the best books I have read in a LONG time. My best friend made me read it and last night in the wee hours of the morning when I couldn't sleep I read over half of it. I had to force myself to put it down and go to bed because I knew I wanted to prolong this book as long as I could.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book. It deserves more stars in the sky. I loved Sam, I loved everything he did and how he did what he did for love. I loved that Jesse was the first love because he was the best choice for that role. I loved Emma's life in California and in Acton. I loved everything! 

If you haven't read it and are considering it just do it! Its a tear Jerker, its beautiful, is messy, its complicated and its worth it!

Unbelievable by Sara Shepard



Hey everyone I just finished Unbelievable by Sara Shepard and wow! These books are such fun reads! in this book...

Spencer, the overachiever and straight A student becomes fatigued by the threats from A and maintaining her "perfect" life. She steals something that could cost her everything in the hopes of having it all.
Aria, Dating her ex BFF Hanna's ex boyfriend, but also having a scandalous affair on the side that is so juicy, if anyone were to find out it could cost Ezra his job! Kicked out of her house by her mother, from a note left by A, Aria is left to live with her dad and his ex student, now fiancee' Meridith. Can she survive?
Emily, after being sent to live with her relatives in East Jesus nowhere because her parents cant deal with the fact that their perfect daughter is gay, she meets a girl who gets her into trouble and sent home, only to get into a fight with her girlfriend Maya.
Sweet, Sweet Hanna, after getting hit by a car leaves her bruised, and stitched up she begins to lose herself in a shy boy named Lucas and her friendship with Mona, is finally on the mend...or so we think.
Mona and Hanna were attached at the hip when the liars began to drift apart but Mona has been harboring secrets that almost get Hanna killed and could destroy the group forever.
These books are so fun! I absolutely love reading them. Not only are they quick but each chapter is about a single liar and how they all come together in the end is amazing. Even though I have been watching the show for years and know what is happening it is so fun to have my own version of the show with every page I read. I gave this book a 4, the only problem I had with it was that about halfway through I became a tad bored but also I was super busy and taking a break made me lose my momentum.

July Photo challenge

Hey friends, I am so sorry that I havent kept up on the photo challenge like I had hoped but this month has been so busy! I hope to share some of my pictures with you soon! Again I apologize!

Lothaire By Kresley Cole

Hey Readers! Well it has been an interesting day to say the least... I am house sitting and one of the animals is sick so I may be making a trip down to the Emergency Vet clinic something in the next hour!! Besides that I finally finished Lothaire by Kresley Cole.

Lothaire is a story about a centuries old Vampire who is trying to "marry" himself to his mate Saroya. Saroya the soul reaper is possessing a young, southern girl named Ellie who eventually makes Lothair fall in love with her and cast out his original mate Saroya.

This book started off really strong for me. I was hooked when i began to read it and I loved the relationship of the human and vampire. After awhile this book became so boring and redundant. It was one of those stories where you are gunning for the couple to fall in love and be together but once it happened it was really awkward and not as fulfilling as I had hoped it would be.

This book only got 3 out of 5 for me and I apologize for how short this review it, but I am on high alert until I find out if I am leaving to take this animal to the ER.

Check back for more book reviews!!

50 shades of Grey

Hello Readers! I haven't posted a book review in awhile and since I am currently watching this movie it reminded of this exact time 2013 when I began reading this book. so here is my review.

50 Shades of Grey is an erotic fiction about a college student named Anastasia Steele who interviews and is seduced by the young and handsome businessman named Christian Grey. Little does she know that she is seducing Christian as well. This is a book of a woman's sexual awakening.
When this book came out it took everyone by surprise. It was a "marriage saver" for some (or so I'm told) and a story that caused great uproar for being too sexual but come on people when the first person to read this talks about it word of mouth will get around quick.

This book is for lack of a better word pure smut, however its a quick and fun read. Ashley and I both read it and by the end we were both like "it is what it is". I do believe that this book and series as a whole was vastly over rated but overall not too bad. You have to take it for what it is. By that I mean its pure sex and the odd relationship between a man and woman who have a more colorful life under the sheets. This is not a masterpiece and the writing is very poor, but again what can you expect from a book solely about sex right.

I give this book a 3/5. I liked the characters and that was really what made me enjoy the book. I love how moody Christian is and how as the story continues Ana becomes quick witted and funny. I would not recommend this book to those who are easily offended or who are planning to read it because of its hype. Just remember, it is what it is...

If i could possess one magical power...

Hello again friends! It's the 4th of July and I am so proud to be an American! I live my country and I love this photo challenge. It's day 4 if I could possess magical powers and I chose to not pick just one but to be my favorite people. I would want to be a witch. I want it all, I want to fly, I want to cast spells! I currently own over 30 books about witches of all different types!
Check back tomorrow!

Red wedding

Hey everyone it is the 3rd day of the July Fantasy challenge and today's theme is Red wedding. I had to ask one of the hostesses of this challenge what it was and come to find out its a Game of Thrones reference! I have not had the chance to start that show sadly but the girl who wants me to watch it is in one of my wedding pictures that are shown and my only red book the dirt motley crue. A biography that is one of the best I have ever read and my hometown is in it! Yep, when crue first got signed to a label it wasn't on the sunset strip, it was in Grass Valley California by a man named Kaufman!!!
Stay tuned for more fun!

My Favorite Elf

Hey everyone! So we are now on day 2 of the July Fantasy Photo Challenge! As promised I will be sharing my photos here as well!
Day 2 My Favorite Elf... Now I knew that 85% of people in this challenge would choose Doby and that awesome. To many he is dearly loved, to me I find him a bit obnoxious (yes I admit it). I decided to use a house elf that we didn't meet until Book 5 at gimauld place. I chose Kreacher! I love him as a character. He's used very little but when he is you can expect a Sharpe tongue and a grumpy old man to greet you. I just love how mean he is and how he gives no shits!!!
I also wanted to show some love to the tallest elf in the world, Buddy!! Thank you for all your laughs!
