Hi everyone!

Just a quick note before we start, there is an issue with the computer I post from, so these posts will be coming from my iPad, sorry! Also, I’m trying to get back on my daily posting schedule, so I have pre scheduled a ton of stuff! Next week should be SUPER FUN!

Now for the review…

A copy of Three Day Summer by Sarvenaz Tash was sent to me for review from Simon and Schuster Canada, this does not persuade my opinions on this book, as all are mine.

Summary:

Michael is unsure about most things. Go to college? Enlist in the military? Break up with his girlfriend? All big question marks. He is living for the moment and all he wants is a few days at the biggest concert of the summer.

Cora lives in the town hosting the music festival. She’s volunteering in the medical tent. She’s like that, always the good girl. But there is something in the air at this concert and suddenly Cora finds herself wanting to push her own boundaries.

When Michael and Cora meet, sparks fly, hearts race, and all the things songs are written about come true. And all the while, three days of the most epic summer await them…
Review:

Look at this COVER! Even from the cover you expect (or in my case, hope) that this book will be amazing. Besides, a festival on a farm in the 80’s, what could be better?

The beginning Half of this book was SO slow. Basically, the first 200(ish) pages were in a medical tent… Cora disobeyed her father, while Michael was ignorant and took Brown Tab Acid… What could be a better way to start off this novel? Anything else.

Although, the last 150(ish) pages definitely made up for it! Once Michael and Cora started really knowing eachother, it was evident that they would fall in love! Even though they just met eachother, their chemistry was beautiful to read and look at.

The end of the book was a bit of a tear jerker for me… It was just that good! When Michael has to go out of her town and back to his own, he promises her something… But if you want to know what that promise is, pick up this book!

Overall:

This book was quite the rollercoaster for me, and although I didn’t love the first half, I’d still recommend it’s! 3.75/5 stars.

I hope that you guys liked this book review! Thanks to Simon and as Schuster Canada for providing me with great books!

Good Night Book Owls!

Hi everyone!

Today, I’m going to be sharing with you my thoughts and review on Galgorithm by Aaron Karo! I was sent a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from Simon and Schuster Canada. That does not affect my opinion.

Summary (Goodreads):

A romantic comedy about high school, heartbreak, and having all the answers.

What if the secrets of dating and love were revealed in one simple formula? That is the tantalizing proposition high school senior Shane Chambliss offers the hopeless and hapless guys who come to him for relationship advice. After the girl of his dreams breaks his heart, Shane devises a mysterious formula called the Galgorithm and establishes himself as the resident dating guru at Kingsview High School. But his attempts to master the art of romance go outrageously awry. As Shane tries to navigate the ensuing drama, he must follow his heart, abandon all the rules, and ignore his own advice in a quest for true love. What he discovers, no formula could ever predict…

Review:

I LOVED THIS BOOK! This is probably one of the best books I’ve read this year!

Shane is such a wonderful and caring character. I felt that he was really relatable to all YA teens and adults. He has a lot of charisma and charm. I felt that he was very loving to all characters in the school, especially his teachers.

Jak was a very fun loving person throughout this book, and I felt while reading this that I was friends with her and actually knew her as a person.

I actually did a school project thing on this book, so I thought that I would share it with you NOW: SPOILER BELOW WARNING

The book Galgorithm by Aaron Karo, has a very consistent theme throughout the entire novel. This novel shows that even the best of the best, may need to listen to their own advice throughout their daily life. In Galgorithm, we meet Shane, a Senior in High School who just went through a breakup. With all of the things he believed that he did wrong in his past relationship, he compiles a “curriculum” that he uses to teach others the techniques they need to get the girls of their dreams. Although, what Shane doesn’t know is that sooner or later he will need to take his own advice. When his theories get exposed to the entire school, he soon loses all of his clients, and his best friend, Jak. He tells Jak everything, and she didn’t know about one of the things that he did after school that was very important in his life, until now. Now, Shane has lost his very best friend and all of his clients. Later in the novel, Shane realizes that he has feelings for his best friend, but has lost her in the result of his exposition. With the help of Shane’s very own advice, he has to get back his best friend, who has now become the girl of his dreams. As the result of following his own advice, Shane ends up with his best friend, and gathers the respect of his fellow classmates.. This shows that if you follow your own advice, you will truly find your way.

Overall:

I really loved this book and gave it 5/5 stars!

Hi everyone!

Instead of doing a book tag, I thought that you all would enjoy a book review much better!

Synopsis (Goodreads):

Ambitious New York City teenager Craig Gilner is determined to succeed at life – which means getting into the right high school to get into the right job. But once Craig aces his way into Manhattan’s Executive Pre-Professional High School, the pressure becomes unbearable. He stops eating and sleeping until, one night, he nearly kills himself.
Craig’s suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected President Armelio. There, Craig is finally able to confront the sources of his anxiety.
Ned Vizzini, who himself spent time in a psychiatric hospital, has created a remarkably moving tale about the sometimes unexpected road to happiness.

REVIEW:

*Before I start, a lot of you who saw my past book review noticed that I didn’t use my new book review format, but that will be in affect June 1.*

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING. SO GOOD. Side Note- I feel like all of the books that I’ve read have been 5 stars, so I guess I’ve been picking up some goodreads!

I read this in less than 24 hours, and it was gripping through every moment.

I would NOT read this book if you have ever had suicidal thoughts (and since I read it I have obviously never had any :)), because the main theme and majority of this book talks about suicide.

One of my favourite parts of this book was that it really doesn’t fall into a specific genre. And although people call this book a “contemporary”, there really wasn’t a love interest until about the last 100 pages or so.

The characters in this book were absolutely incredible. They were hilarious and although I’m a teenage girl, I really loved the elderly people. I have always been more of a talker with adults than kids my age, so I feel like people like these I would talk to.

Overall:

I absolutley ADORED this book! I reccomend it to people who like Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, or if you’ve read thirteen reasons why than read this! 5/5 Stars!

I hope that you guys liked this book review!

Good Night Book Owls!
