Me Before you by: Jojo MoyesThe book, Me Before You, by: Jojo Moyes is a heartbreaking romance. So far in the book (just started it last night) the author started in the first main charcter's point of view. She really gets into how the character was before his accident. For example, he was quite attached to his phone. The author wrote "Dinner. With or without Mr. Blackberry?". It made me think that he must always be on his phone and take calls often. She leaves the reader to assume that and doesn't directly stating that. I greatly enjoy that. She also makes a female character that isn't a thought of perfection. The character quirky in everyway. It makes it more enjoyable to have a charcter that actually sounds human.

Someone Else's FairytaleSomeone Else's Fairytale by EmilyMahTippetts is a Wattpad Book. The author wrote this book in First Person. She swtched between the different main character's point of views. For the main female character she gives little subtle details that scarred her in more ways then one. She uses humor to make the little details seem very hysterical. She really did some research on Law when writing this book. SHe used term I understood (I am taking a Intro to Law). I greatly enjoyed this book. It was a quick read that was witty and fun.
Acting RoyalActing Royal by JoWatson_101 is a Wattpad book. It once agian is another romace. The author wrote in first person. It is a mechure book. If you like a romance with a modern fairytail, this is it. The book was written very well. The plot wasn't something that was really big. It was a slight incline (the cousin wants the throne). Through out the story the author ueses other characters point of view to see the other events going on at the same time. The author uses lots of details to descibe the setting (palace and gardens). She uses dark details to show the past that the main character had. It was very deep and make me cry.
PretendThe book Pretend by Sharlay is a good book for people who don’t like long books. The book is forty-nine short chapters. It is humorous with a good amount of romance. April recently dumped her boyfriend of several years for cheating on her the last year of their relationship. Every girl dreams of the greatest revenge plan to cook up the last year of highschool. What happens when the boy she uses to get her ex jealous is her best friend’s brother? Her best friend even know that April is using her brother. What if the pretend relationship slowly becomes more than just pretend?
The book was written in first person from both points of view of the main characters, April and Aiden, through the events that lead to their happy ending. The author uses first person to make the reader connect more with the character. The book has humor, romance, and very dramatic events (that would never happen). The author can connect really well with being a teenager, since she is one. The author was 19 years old whennshe wrote this the book on Wattpad. The author uses some reaql events that have personally happenend to me. Such as being made fun of because I didn't I have a boyfriend or went to parties. I didn't follow the high school social norms in the high school culture. She adapts the main character as someone who knows that she doesn't need a man in order to survive. The main character allows a man int0 her life, but not as a pole to cling to, but as a partner to help make life easier. “Love Is Blind” By XxBlondie99xX The Book “Love Is Blind” By XxBlondie99xX. Hailey Baker moves in with her wealthy uncle. After being in a car accident that put her brother in a coma and put her parents to death. After six months of trying relearning how to walk after her back injury from the car accident. Even for her some days she has to be confined to a wheelchair in so much pain and sadness.
Blake Adams has lived in the same town all his life. But, he hasn’t been blind all his life. Two years ago he lost his eyesight in a dirt bike accident. Most people he meets take pity on him or in his word “ they treat me like an alien” Until he meets Hailey, she doesn’t treat him like he is an alien or take pity on him. Even though he might be a complete jerk to everyone. The author writes in 1st person limited. She gives each character a strong persona that has seen dark depths, yet continue to live life silently and not invloved. She gives the main female charcter the new cultural norm of not needing a man to help through the time, until its her helping someone else and inturn healing them and herself. She really gives great detail on the tramatic events that go in each main charcters life. She really pushes that in order to move on one need to forgive, but never forget. It really helped me while I was going through my loss. Avalon HighAvalon High by Meg Cabot is a quick, easy book. The book is 284 pages. The author is also the author of The Princess Diaries. What happens when the characters of Camelot come to the modern world reincarnated? Ellie just moved to a new town. But it is nothing new. Her parents are professors of medieval literature. She meets the class president, star quarterback in a ravine in the middle of a park. Could he be what the legend says? Could he be the reincarnation of King Arthur? Could each of these characters be a reincarnation?
This one of my favorites. I could re-read it and re-read it. I love the idea of the reincarnation of the Camelot characters. With each of these characters, their life is sort of based on the reincarnation they are. Even though the reader might not know a lot about the tales of King Arthur, they will still understand the story. Each chapter has a quote or allusions in the beginning giving the reader a little bit of information. There are also poems that are really good too. I really like the main female character. What I love about Ellie is that she isn’t the kind of girl who is like “ I am too frail to help out”. She is the kind girl that's like ” Okay, tell me what you want me to do, and I will do it” That’s the kind of girl I look up to. Cinder & EllaThe Book ‘CInder & Ella’ by Kelly Orman. The book is a kindle e-book. The book is around 230 pages. The book takes place in present day. A girl named Ellamara or Ella. She is a big fan of the book series The Cinder Chronicles. She even created a blog because she loved the series so much. She thought her life was good. She went to book signing and posted the details on her blog. She had a lot of people following her blog, her mom was still alive. Then, it came all crashing down in front of her eyes. Her mom and her were in a car accident. The accident killed her mom. The way the accident ended up erupted into flames that damaged much of Ella’s body and skin. Waking up in the hospital she is told that she will never be able to walk properly again and that she will be living with her father and his new wife and her daughters. Once she moves in with her father. She results back to trying to talk to cinder458. Her online best friend. He is one that doesn’t treat her like she has a disability or a freak, or a dirty little secret that was finally told.
Cinder isn’t just a normal guy talking to a famous blogger. He is a famous young hollywood actor. When suddenly he finally gets a massage from Ella. For so long he thought she was dead since she hadn’t blogged anything, or messaged him back. Thier long lost friendship had been rekindled. What happens when they finally meet face to face and they come to the truth? Secrets will be told, stories will be explained, and what else? Maybe a happily ever after... The book was very well written. It was written in First Person for each of characters point's of veiw. The author made a character that was broken, but never needed a man to fix her. She got a man more after the fact. That is the kind of story I enjoy. I like a strong female role model. The author really added detail and made points that other women my age need to understand and hear during this generation. Becoming Beautiful“Becoming Beautiful” by istolethecookiez is a Wattpad book. It is not a actual published book. Kennedy (Kenna) was never known for her looks. Then she meets Marissa Rivers crying in the school bathroom. They make a deal she will be the designated driver for their parties and Marissa will teach her how to be beautiful. Marissa in turn would teach Kenna have to do the “girly things” such as applying makeup, choosing cute outfits, boys, flirting, and what to do and dress at parties. But as soon as the deal starts she meets Marissa’s half brother Noah. Noah is very quiet and mysterious. He doesn’t do anything active. An example is gym class he sketches instead of runs or any exercise. Slowly she opens up to Noah and their was even a dared kiss and triple chocolate cookies in the mix. Maybe there is some feelings involved. The book is written very well. I hope that it will attract the publishers. For once in the book the main charcter's main ideas are drinking and parting. She want's an education and loves to read. She doesn't see the need to have boyfriend or a man in her life. Her education is the MOST IMPORTANT!
WattPad Book: After five yearsThe Wattpad book “After Five Years” by Goldenmars. Leila Reyes a 25-year-old single mom of a cute 5-year-old daughter named Melody. After being dumped by the “love of her life”, she soon was kicked out of her home when they found she was pregnant. Five-years later, she was scraping by with the modeling career. Suddenly, she finds a job at her ex’s company by surprise.
Her ex soon finds out that Leila’s daughter is his. Ryan Lui is a succsessful businessman. He has been in-love with Leila since he was sixteen. He wants to be in Melody’s life. One year before, he also found he had a son. He will have to win the hearts of Melody and Leila. This book’s author has a good voice. But, I wasn’t a big fan of the idea of a women getting pregnant and not being able to support themselves; Also, that her family kicked her out. Also, that the fact that he wasn’t smart enough to use protection TWICE! I admit it was sad, but she was the one that got herself pregnant by not asking if Ryan had protection before the deed happened. I don’t think that parents should abandon their child, but some parents of certian religions do that. The book didn’t support a young women getting pregnant. It told the struggle of a woman with happy ending, but, that doesn’t always happen to women. JURASSIC Park By: Michael Crichton |
