Dumplin Review

Dumplin
Author: Julie Murphy

Pages :384
Date of publication : September 15th, 2015

Synopsis :Self-proclaimed fat girl Willowdean Dickson (dubbed “Dumplin’” by her former beauty queen mom) has always been at home in her own skin. Her thoughts on having the ultimate bikini body? Put a bikini on your body. With her all-American beauty best friend, Ellen, by her side, things have always worked…until Will takes a job at Harpy’s, the local fast-food joint. There she meets Private School Bo, a hot former jock. Will isn’t surprised to find herself attracted to Bo. But she is surprised when he seems to like her back.

Instead of finding new heights of self-assurance in her relationship with Bo, Will starts to doubt herself. So she sets out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying thing she can imagine: entering the Miss Clover City beauty pageant—along with several other unlikely candidates—to show the world that she deserves to be up there as much as any twiggy girl does. Along the way, she’ll shock the hell out of Clover City—and maybe herself most of all.

Review: I was so happy when I received this book from Owl Crate! They always find good book. This one was great! I love what Julie Murphy try to tell us in this book. The size of a person don't matter! I'm not really small so I could really relate to Will. This is also such a positive book! 

I think I may have a girl crush on Willowdean! She's so positive and don't care what people think of her and her weight. I want to be like her so much! I think Julie Murphy did a great job with his character. I totally love the fact that we don't know her exact weight. We shouldn't describe people with adjective like big. What is big? Is there a specific weight for being considered big? I think Willowdean deal very well with all the stuff that happen to her. I could never do what she's done. 

The love story was really well made too. It's the first time that the main character doesn't end up with my choice. I won't say names but the guy I liked the most (I still like the other but just not as much) didn't get the girl. I like that the love story isn't the main subject. 

I recommend it to everyone! It'a an amazing story with such a beautiful message in it. I was so glad to receive it from Owlcrate 

Red Queen Review

Red Queen
Author: Victoria Aveyard

Pages :383
Date of publication : February 10th, 2015

Synopsis :This is a world divided by blood – red or silver.The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.That is, until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.Fearful of Mare’s potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance – Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart 

Review: I don't really know how to start this review because I have so much to say! I guess I will start with saying that it's the story about a girl name Mare Barrow. In this world the people are separated by blood : Silver and Red. Mare have red blood and live in the poor part of the country. Silver are the lucky ones. They have all kind of power that Red don't have. Exept Mare. She discover that she have power too and now she have to marry a Silver prince.

I loved that book! It's the first one I read this year and I'm glad I did because I didn't read for so long and this book gave me the little push I needed to read again. I really liked Mare. She wasn't like other female protagonist I read about. She's not the smartest, she can't really fight and the only thing she's good at is steal other people on the street without getting caught. She seems more real to me than other heroine. She's a little bit (a lot) naive. She have a lot of boy after her! We always see love triangle but with 3 guys I'm ot sure how to name it. I really liked Maven.. I was team Maven in this book even if I liked Cal also but not as much. There was also another guy I tought she could be with at the beggening but I didn't read read about him a lot so I'm not sure how I feel about him.

Can we talk about all the betrayals! I can't count because there's too much of them. Maybe I was just as naive but I really didn't see them comming! If you have read this book you know which betrayal suprise me the most! I was in shock! Now that I know I can see that it was a little bit predictable and I should've see it coming but I was so into it. I guess I just didn't want to see it. But the action was also pretty awesome and Victoria Aveyard did a good job at describing them. Overall This book was really well written.

I absolutly loved this book and cannot wait to read the next one! It looks a lot like other book but I didn't really care. I really recommend it if you haven't read it yet. 

City Love Review

City Love
Author: Susane Colasanti

Pages :336
Date of publication : April 10st, 2015

Synopsis :Sadie, Darcy, and Rosanna are living together in New York City the summer before their freshman year of college begins. With no parents, no rules, and an entire city to explore, these three girls are on the verge of the best summer of their lives.Sadie is a native New Yorker. She is hopeful, romantic, and an eternal optimist who is ready to find her soul mate. Then she meets her dream boy: cute, funny, and quirky in all the right ways. The chemistry between them is unreal. Could he be the one?Darcy is a free spirit from SoCal with rebellious tendencies and unlimited financial resources. Moving to New York City is just another adventure for her. Darcy wants this summer to be all about boy adventures—nothing serious. But how much fun is too much?Rosanna leaves Chicago for NYC so she can put her past behind her and reinvent herself. The only thing standing in her way is the grand total of seventy-three cents she has saved. Then she meets a guy who wants to show her the glamorous side of New York—a side that she would never get to experience on her own. If Rosanna doesn't resist, she may find herself in city love.Told from alternating points of view, City Love captures the moments in each girl's life when everything is thrilling, amazing, and terrifying all at once . . . in a way it will never be again.

Review: To be honest I didn't know this was a series when I bought it. I thought it was a stand alone book. But I'm so glad to know this is gonna be a series! I can't wait to read more about the three girls. This story follows Sadie, Darcy and Rosanna when they move into an apartment in New York. They all meet different poeple an specially guys. We can see the loves stories evolve. 

I liked the 3 main character in this book but I connect more with Rosanna. I could really see myself in her. She's not from a rich family, she's a little bit shy but she try to be more confident and she love helping others. She try to live with the little money she have ( wich I did when I was at university ). Her and D are the total opposite but I enjoy reading about them.

Sadie was a great character too. She's so positive and believe in soul mates and love at first sight. She's the kind of person who is in love with love. We have that in common. It was fun reading her POV's and I was really happy to read about Austin too. He seemed so perfect for her. 

Darcy is the one I liked the least in this book. It was really hard to connect with but she was a great character too. It just didn't click with me. Jude is my favorite boy in this story. He's a magican and he's so kind. I can't wait to read more about him.

Overall this was a good contemporary book and I recommend it to everybody who likes cute love story. I like to read books like this after I finish a fantasy book or series. It was really fun and I'm sure I will enjoy the second book even more. I really liked Susane Colasanti writting style and I will buy more of her book for sure.

The Upside of Unrequited Review

The Upside Of Unrequited

Author:Becky Albertalli
Pages : 336
Date of publication : April 11, 2017

Synopsis : Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love—she’s lived through it twenty-six times. She crushes hard and crushes often, but always in secret. Because no matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells her to woman up, Molly can’t stomach the idea of rejection. So she’s careful. Fat girls always have to be careful.
Then a cute new girl enters Cassie’s orbit, and for the first time ever, Molly’s cynical twin is a lovesick mess. Meanwhile, Molly’s totally not dying of loneliness—except for the part where she is. Luckily, Cassie’s new girlfriend comes with a cute hipster-boy sidekick. Will is funny and flirtatious and just might be perfect crush material. Maybe more than crush material. And if Molly can win him over, she’ll get her first kiss and she’ll get her twin back. 
There’s only one problem: Molly’s coworker Reid. He’s an awkward Tolkien superfan with a season pass to the Ren Faire, and there’s absolutely no way Molly could fall for him. Right?

Review: This isn't a book that I choose to buy. I received it in an Owlcrate box but I'm so glad I did! I have to admit this is my first book of this author so that's right I haven't read Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda! But If it's just as good as this one I know I will have to read it very soon. I loved the simple writing style and the story in general. It felt so real with believable issues that teenagers can have.

What can I say about Molly.. She's just awesome. I can really relate to her. She's a wierd teenagers who see that everybody else is growing up, kissing other people and going to partys. She's overweigth, have a low self esteem, wierd, very funny and suffer from anxiety. So I think that a lot of person can relate to at least one of her personality traits. She has a lot more than the one I mentionned but those were the one that I could relate to at some point of my life. I can easily say she's one of my favorite main character of all time. I could put so much quotes from her that I loved!

I have to talk about the diversity off all the side character. There's a pansexual, a bisexual, lesbians, molly have two moms and they mentions a lot of other minorities. It's really sad that we don't see more books with such differents character. The hemistry between them seemed so natural and fluid like we would see in the real world. Their issues was believable. I also really enjoyed the sister relationship between molly and Cassie. It's the best I've read. I think I just loved every character in this book.

I can totally see why everybody love her books and recommend them. I can wait to read Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda before I watch the movie. If they could make a movie about this book I would be so happy! It's a perfect easy summer read. It only took me a day to finish it. Just go read it if you haven't already!

PS I Like You Review

Ps I like you

Author:Kasie West
Pages : 326
Date of publication : July 26, 2016

Synopsis : Signed, sealed, delivered…
While spacing out in chemistry class, Lily scribbles some of her favorite song lyrics onto her desk. The next day, she finds that someone has continued the lyrics on the desk and added a message to her. Intrigue!
Soon, Lily and her anonymous pen pal are exchanging full-on letters—sharing secrets, recommending bands, and opening up to each other. Lily realizes she’s kind of falling for this letter writer. Only, who is he? As Lily attempts to unravel the mystery and juggle school, friends, crushes, and her crazy family, she discovers that matters of the heart can’t always be spelled out…

Review: This is the fourth book from Kasie West that I have read and it's the third that I gave 5 stars. I love her books so much. If I want an easy and cute storie I know that I won't be disapointed with her. Her love stories are juste too adorable. It took me just one day to finish it because I was so in the story.

I really enjoyed reading about the main character Lily. She was a little wierd with a really special family. I love how she thinks that her parents and siblings are so much crazy and tell them a lot but in reality she is more wierd then them. I enjoyed the parts when she was at home with her brothers cause they seemed so cute. Her bestfriend Isabel was also a great charater. She seems to be very supportive and kind. It's the kind of bestfriend everybody wants to have.

I won't talk about the writer because I don't want to spoil anything but believe me I really wanted to talk about it.

The letters were also very good. I was looking foward to finding out what they were saying to each other. It really helped to keep the book interesting. Just like any other good YA contemporary we can see a beautiful and popular boy, a boy that Lily don't like because he make fun of her and one popular girl that isn't very nice... 

I have to say that there's not much of surprise in this book but if you want an easy read with funny characters I really recommend this one. I already plan on buying one of her newest books.

I'm Gonna Try This Again!

Hey guys! So I started this blog a year ago and I only posted for a month or two.. I don't really remember why I stopped. I guess I didn't have time or wasn't feeling it at the time. I also started a reading slump so I guess that didn't help.. Before I was Reading around 80 books per year but I think last year I read something like 20 books. But with the summer and the beautiful weather outside it gave me the little push I needed to start reading again! I'm in the mood for beautiful contemporary books and love story so that's what you'll be seeing a lot in the next 2 months! I hope this time I will do better than the 2 month I did before! I also hope you have an awesome summer full of beautiful stories like I plan to have :) Also If You want to suggest me some new YA Contemporary feel free leave me a comment!
