alright had to get that out of my system i think im done screaming. maybe. now i know i haven't done this before but i had the best day today and since it was relevant to books i thought i would share. so this awesome day started with soccer tryouts and i feel like i played pretty good so that was fun. that was followed by some super productive classes and lunch with my awesome dad who brought me a hotdog (i love hotdogs) then after school i got to spend the evening watching a simpsons marathon which is crazy because i haven't watched tv since august. when i got home i knocked out my homework and ordered four books for SUPER CHEAP off amazon (they were used but does it matter). i got a great nights sleep after that. oh wait did something else happen? i seem to remember something else happening. OH RIGHT. FREAKING SHELLY CRANE EMAILED ME!!!!! that's right people of the web shelly crane author of significance and the oxygen series responded to an email i sent her and we talked. i talked to flipping shelly crane. when i got the email i screamed like i shit you not i screamed.....i was in class....oh well. so i emailed asking her if there would be a sequel to the oxygen series and she said yes! i am going to review the first book in the series when i have time because i thoroughly enjoyed it. then she said happy holidays like you emailed me THE HOLIDAYS ARE SURE AS HECK GONNA BE HAPPY NOW! i think that's about all for this unnecessary post hope yall are having a nice december someone touch some snow for me :)

Never Always Sometimes

okay. i almost titled this post "books that made me give up on romance altogether" but then when you google the book name this wouldn't come up. so. its been awhile since my last review i have been crazy busy trying not to fail school and listening to the hamilton soundtrack (THIS BOOK GOT ME HELPLESSSSSSS DOWN FOR THE COUNT AND IM DROWNIN IN HIM) so i read this book about a week ago and honestly i was too salty to write about it right away. that would have been a cannibalistic review. blood, carnage, and verbal beatings. so i let it simmer and now here i am. slightly less tiffed and willing to see the lesson behind the ending. still not happy but that's life. without further delay lets crush some dreams. Never Always Sometimes by adi alsaid starts of with dave and julia who are seniors in high school and have been friends since lower school. they made this list to avoid being clichés things like don't go to parties or don't go on "montagey" road trips and learn valuable life lessons. one day senior year they decide to break every single rule they set for themselves and they find they have been missing out on all these amazing things. now this is going to be the most difficult review i have ever written because everything i want to rant about and completely trash is a huge ass spoiler and i am not a book spoilin hussie so i am going to refrain. now the characters in this book are slightly annoying to me. the main character julia avoids clichés but the truth is she is one, shes "the girl who tries so hard to be different and special" cliche. i will give credit where credit is due, in a fight dave actually points out all of julias character flaws so we know this annoying need to be an individual was part of the plan and not completely worthless. it lends to the overall lesson of the book. but even then it was sooooooooooo annoying i mean gosh. also a big bothersome (i guess i would call it an "idea") is that you can cheat on someone, think you know what you want, and when it doesn't work out you can go back to that first relationship and everythings peachy. that's a dick move. dave is sweet but honestly he kind of played some girls with the "i don't know how i feel" thing. if you don't know how you feel take a beat and figure it out don't drag MULTIPLE hearts through the mud along the way. the over all idea of the novel is supposed to be something along the lines of *im being vague to avoid spoilers* "just because you could have a relationship with someone doesn't mean its going to work out" OR "romance is a lie and it will hurt you like no bodies business" OR "an equation could have two answers but one could be the better answer" OR "just because you can doesn't mean you should". the ending while extremely true to the shattyness of life *no sugar coated happily ever after* is not how i would have done things had i been in the characters shoes. you are kind of left off thinking oh... well... i mean ...i would have yeeted out but this works too. but the honest to God most bothersome thing was that this book just made me sad. not fault in the stars sad where the beauty of it makes it worth while to be sad but soul crushing why did i read this sad. and while there was some lesson to be learned in all honesty i wouldn't have minded not getting to learn it. i get it. romance sucks and life doesn't work out the way you plan. THATS WHY I READ. like life has enough suckage. some of yall may enjoy this type of thing but it wasn't something i liked while it did have a good lesson, it made me cry ugly tears and it was bothersome. feel free to give it a try don't let me stop you, comment if you have a different opinion.

Tone Deaf

its been a shatty day friends. shatty like i want to curl up with my shatty grades and escape my shatty life except i don't have any books to read at the moment because i finished them all because i am a shatty fast paced reader. and i loved this book so much it gave me some hope for the future. and then i realized no cute lead singer is going to smuggle me away in his RV. and then it was shat again. BUT MOVING ON FROM MY ISSUES. tone deaf by olivia rivers was my entertainment this weekend and it was fabulous. tone deaf follows ali collins who was a musical prodigy before she was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which when upon removed rendered her deaf. so she uses ASL and reads lips and is abused by her asshole father. guy has deep issues. when she goes to a concert she meets jace beckett who is a dreamy singer for her best friends favorite band. when he sees the bruises on her he realizes whats going on and offers to help her escape. soon she becomes drawn back into the world of music and she falls in "the feels" with jace who may have a few more layers than she first assumed... so this is a fabulous book if you don't want to get invested in a series it's great for a car trip or a short period of time it took me about a day to finish. so my friend (you know who you are so shout out and i think i left my bathing suit at your house) and i are learning asl together so personally i found this book super interesting because i could picture the signs they were doing. now can i just say something about love. my favorite thing (besides sliding through the house with socks on) is losin my mind in a sweet story about finding love against the odds. HOWEVER books like these set girls expectations to high because no matter how sweet and perfect a boy is that poor boy will never be jace beckett and that poor girl will have to settle. so some people say don't read these books it sets the bar to high and makes real boys look crappy. my refute: i like this boy *he shall remain nameless because in the words of river song spoilerzzz* and he will never be jace beckett *tears* but at the same time jace beckett could never be that boy. that boy is special in a lot of ways these fictional characters aren't so shout out to you mystery boy. im going of on so many tangents its horrible and i apologize profusely. i loved this book because it was a sweet story (some themes of domestic violence through out if that makes you uncomfortable don't read this) ill leave yall with this: read this book and fall in love with its characters but remember there are real people who may not be as great those characters...they also may be better.
