You Were Mine - Abbi Glines

            Hi there! I’m seeing a lot of negativity about this book and it has me confused. I’d like to start this review with: if you like Bethy and you like Tripp as characters, then you’ll enjoy this book. Honestly! The way Abbi Glines creates passion and realness in her stories in impeccable and for a little over 200 pages I was completely involved. If anything, I didn’t like Bethy in the beginning of the series when she was acting slutty! With that being said, I’d like to share my opinions on You Were Mine by Abbi Glines…

In the eyes of the wealthy playboys who frequent Kerrington Country Club in Rosemary Beach, Tripp Newark is a hero. Under pressure from his parents to become a lawyer and lead a conservative, upper-class life, Tripp disappeared from town five years ago to travel the world, forfeiting the opportunity to inherit millions. Yet few know what he was really running from...

Bethy Lowry was unraveling long before her boyfriend drowned in a riptide trying to save her after she'd had one too many drinks--again. A trailer park kid working as a cart girl among the wealthy patrons of Kerrington Country Club, Bethy has always been impressionable. But five years ago, before she earned her reputation as a hard-drinking, easy girl, she had spent a single summer with Tripp Newark that changed her life forever...

The Fault in Our Stars - John Green

Hi there! So John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars (TFIOS for short) was even better than I expected. I went into it thinking that the saddest part would be the ending but in retrospect the whole story itself it’s the saddest part. I honestly loved it and recommend it to everyone and anyone.

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments # 6) - Cassandra Clare

Hi there! In the final installment of the series, The Mortal Instruments: The City of Heavenly Fire, Cassandra Clare ties up so many stories and makes the reader finally take a breathe of fresh air.

In this dazzling and long-awaited conclusion to the acclaimed Mortal Instruments series, Clary and her friends fight the greatest evil they have ever faced: Clary's own brother.

Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, systematically turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter. Bearing the Infernal Cup, he transforms Shadowhunters into creatures out of nightmare, tearing apart families and lovers as the ranks of his Endarkened army swell.

The embattled Shadowhunters withdraw to Idris - but not even the famed demon towers of Alicante can keep Sebastian at bay. And with the Nephilim trapped in Idris, who will guard the world against demons?

When one of the greatest betrayals the Nephilim have ever known is revealed, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec must flee - even if their journey takes them deep into the demon realms, where no Shadowhunter has set foot before, and from which no human being has ever returned...

Love will be sacrificed and lives lost in the terrible battle for the fate of the word in the thrilling final installment of the classic urban fantasy series The Mortal Instruments!

We Were Liars - E. Lockhart

Hi there! Now I will have you know, it is very rare for me to cry over much. Books are about the only thing that can make me cry for more than 10 minutes. We Were Liars by E. Lockhart is probably one of the saddest books I’ve read.

A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.

We Were Liars is a modern, sophisticated suspense novel from National Book Award finalist and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart. 

Read it.
And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
