I'm Laughing on the Inside...


The Blonde of the JokeThe Blonde of the Joke by Bennett Madison
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 honestly as much as i wanted to understand it, i couldnt. I waited and waited to find out wats was wrong with val's brother only to find out no one knows. I waited and waited to find out what the holy grail was only to never find out any more than it was $3.(unless i just missed a paragraph?) I truly wanted to love this book but i couldnt wrap my head around it. i was left with too many questions. (why did max disappear? why did her brother die? what was wrong with everyone in this town?)


One thing that really bothered me was how the narrator kept sliping in and out of reality. just when something added up she would be like "psyc! that never happened". ok so i didnt get the end. maybe i will try again sometime because when Val asked me if i was laughing i want to know why i should have been laughing.

Deja View


Derby GirlDerby Girl by Shauna Cross
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

the other night i was at my friends house and her mom suggested we watch whip it cause she said it was a wonderful movie. so we rented it and we were only 20 min in when i realized i knew his story a little too well. when they showed bliss with the pig apron on it suddenly came to me. I had read a book just like this movie. Of course after my epiphany i had to ruin the whole movie for my friends but it was worth it. I was so surprised how well the movie followed the story line of the book. they only thing i missed was how in the book bliss is always reminded not to fall in love with a guy in a band.

So now i am in the process of taking my old reviews and posting them here. So it will say i have a bunch of reviews from today but in actuality they are from months ago. To see exact dates, other reviews, comments or details click on the book titles and that will redirect you to that books Goodreads page.

Mix Tapes for her Favorite Man


Thirteen Reasons WhyThirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

i loved this book. I would be crying one minute and laughing through my tears the next.


side note: if this was ever to become a movie i think Better in time by leona lewis would be a great song for the movie.

Life's Like That


The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-BanksThe Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love E. Lockhart's writing. I hate the endings. When ever i read one of these books i love it right until the last 20 pages when the girl looses the man of her dreams and they never speak again. Yet i keep coming back for more. over all it was a good book with great characters, just not a fairy tale ending. I guess you could say E. Lockhart just tells it like it is, reality check: its not always a happy ending.
