SYNOPSIS


Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.


Can Ben’s relationship with Fallon—and simultaneously his novel—be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?

REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rating: 5 out of 5.


“The only way I’d be willing to write a romance novel is if you’re one of the main characters.”


I fricking adored this book. It made me cry and its been a while since I felt so emotionally attached to a book. 

The romance in this books is absolutely immaculate, how they love each other in such a tender way.

One of my favorites aspect of this story was the fact that he helped her to overcome on her biggest insecurities, which was the physical damage of the fire, but something that was way better than that was whenever he reminded her of how grateful she should be for even being a survivor of such a mortal experience. 



“Because I don’t know if you’ve realized this yet, but you’re alive, Fallon. And every time you look in the mirror, you don’t have the right to hate what you see. Because you survived when a lot of people don’t get that lucky. So from now on when you think about your scars, you aren’t allowed to resent them. You’re going to embrace them, because you’re lucky to be on this earth to see them. And any guy you allow to touch your scars better thank you for that privilege.”


I don't know why but it made me feel extremely emotional the amazingly stunning quotes that the book has.


My heart broke and the it got pieced back together and THEN it broke once again.

I have no idea if this follows a specific trope but I want to read everything that comes close to this but lets face it, no book will ever compare. 


It is surely not a very smutty book but that was exactly was I was looking for. I literally have no words to explain the million emotions that this book made me feel.


The characters in this story are so fleshed out, the type: I have never met this people but I feel like have known them for a lifetime. They just feel so real, Collen Hoover did an amazing job.


This is probably one of the books that I have read from CH so far, I know that some people say its their least favorite but personally its one of my top rated for sure. 

Also reading Novemeber 9 on the 9th of November just makes the experience completely different.

I can not wait for the reread next year!

SYNOPSIS


Teddy Crutcher has won Teacher of the Year at the esteemed Belmont Academy, home to the best and brightest.


He says his wife couldn't be more proud—though no one has seen her in a while.


Teddy really can’t be bothered with the death of a school parent that’s looking more and more like murder or the student digging a little too deep into Teddy’s personal life. His main focus is on pushing these kids to their full academic potential.


All he wants is for his colleagues—and the endlessly meddlesome parents—to stay out of his way.


It's really too bad that sometimes excellence can come at such a high cost.


REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 3 out of 5.

I am not kidding when I say all fo these characters where incredibly unlikable. Specially the main character. The only one that was maybe a bit less horrible was the kid, whose name I can’t remember for the love of me but he is basically the other main character, don’t get me wrong, he was horrible and did absolutely terrible things but he was a fricking kid. Then there were the adults, who also did terrible things but i mean they are fricking adults you know.

Anyways I could not care less for any fo the characters, there were a few deaths that felt pointless to me as well but It could have also been because of the fact that I wasn’t very into the story. 

About the ending… Let me see how I can talk about it without spoiling haha. I didn’t loved it, I mean it was a huge plot twist and all I kind of didn’t saw it coming. There were soo many plot twists specially from the halfway point onwards. But going back to the ending, don’t hate me but I think that the Villian could have been a bit more miserable. 
Anyways, take it as you please, a lot of people have loved it so I don’t now maybe you will like it too!
And yes 3 stars is a bit too much now looking back on it but hey the plot twist were unexpected at least.

SYNOPSIS


An unflinching, powerful memoir about growing up Korean American, losing her mother, and forging her own identity.


In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. 


As she grew up, moving to the East Coast for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, and performing gigs with her fledgling band--and meeting the man who would become her husband--her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother's diagnosis of terminal cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her.


REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐️
Rating: 5 out of 5.

OMG I was sobbing with this amazing heart-hitting story.

It was super truethfull and realistic, it reached my heart all the way.

I am usually not really into memoirs or non-fiction books but this story was so deep and having family member that had gone through it makes also the experience 100 times different. I felt really understood and connected with the main character extremely much.

It was very cultural focused which I loved, I know a lot people find kind of repetitive the food parts and even though there were a lot of them, I loved it since I got to learn such an important and interesting part of Korean culture which is food.

I have to say that I had to put it down at times because it really got to me, however that shows how amazing it was. When I say I was sobbing it’s because I really was.

Overall an amazing story, There are a lot of TW warnings and if you decide to pick it up (which I highly recommend), be aware of them and be prepared to feel your heart ache.
