ELEANOR AND PARK BY RAINBOW ROWELL


Image result for eleanor and park

This is a YA contemporary novel that consists of the story in both main characters POV.

WGAT IS IT ABOUT: Park has never been in the middle of anything. This time he will try whatever to show Eleanor that he loves her.
      Eleanor has never had a boyfriend or any of that type of relationship with any guy. She needs to learn to step out of her comfort zone and away from his stepfather to understand otherwise.

Rate:2.5/5 stars

Pros: Okay this book has an interesting story from a refreshing group of students, who are what we call shy or weird or anything like that. This means that it made me relate a lot with this characters, both Eleanor and Park.

Cons: I would have giving this book 5 stars if it wasn't that Eleanor was so frustrating! If she could have made the job of being a boyfriend easier for Park and would have been less of a seaweed brain I might have actually liked her. And okay I get it she had a rough childhood but come on!

The D.U.F.F. BY KODY KEPLINGER



Image result for the duff

This book was recently made into a fabulous movie! but if you read the book you would know that they have nothing in common! at. all.

RATE:3.5 stars

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
When Bianca hangs out with her two best friends, she doesn't notice what everyone else does. She is the duff(designated ugly fat friend). When the popular guy Wesley Rush tells her she is infuriated, meanwhile at home things aren't hearts and flowers. Her parents are divorcing and she doesn't know what to do so she asks Wesley for help.


Pros: This book shows you that sometimes life isn't perfect but either way you must keep going because (this may sound cliché so sorry if it does) There is always a rainbow after the rain so just hold on. This story talks about life now in school and stuff that most teenagers find interesting.

Cons: Even though it took a realistic turn I think that it should have been longer and with more in tell on Bianca's old boyfriend and on her friends because they talk about them in the beginning but have through it they completely disappear!

Like the movie was nothing like book and it was still fun I guess people will actually read it. Maybe not because of the story in the book but because of the story in the movie.

SO REMEMBER NEXT TIME YOU MAKE A BOOK ADAPTATION MOVIE MAKE IT LIKE THE BOOK.


Thank You!

MY LIFE NEXT DOOR BY HUNTLEY FITZPATRICK

Image result for my life next door by huntley fitzpatrick


Okay let's get something straight! This book is a contemporary YA novel from the point of view of Samantha who later falls in love with her neighbor whose family her mom doesn't approve.

pros: When I started reading it I fell right in the story and got so involved with it I couldn't stop reading! I loved the characters, the drama, and it was soooo good!

cons: This story should have a little bit more suspense. That way no one could stop reading at ALL.
    The story with the neighbor's father was really sad and I wished it wouldn't have happened but if it didn't her mom would never have approve or left her boyfriend.

There really wasn't much I disliked, and that is really impressing for me. Fitzpatrick is an amazing author and for those who fell in love with this book as much as I did he is writing a sequel! so get ready!
