After

Anna Todd: My life before him was so simple and decided, now after him...It's just...After
Me: My life before this book was so simple and decided, now after it ...It's just...Depressing
gather around children let me show you what emotional abuse looks like *swallows back vomit* 
WHAT DO WE WANT? BOOKS THAT DON'T ROMANTICIZE ABUSERS! WHEN DO WE WANT THEM? BOOKS THAT DON'T ROMANTICIZE ABUSERS!

I just really hated the way the characters handled everything (which is a phat portion of the book) there are quite a few instances of emotional abuse and mental illness that are handled super poorly by the characters which really pissed me off. honestly if I had been in the main character's (Tessa) position I would have upped and moved away from all that mess after the fifth chapter. I get that if all the characters functioned super healthily it would be boring and you could say "well bish not every book ends in someone figuring out how to be emotionally mature" and you would be totally right some books literally show people falling apart and thats the end. thats literature baby. but my issue here is that at the high points in their relationship she's still with someone who is incredibly emotional abusive. like wow they are finally in such a great place...he's still controlling and cruel...but they're using their inside voices so thats good right? they keep making the same mistakes and trusting the wrong people and the toxic behavior just gets really boring. and if I'm being honest some stuff goes down that Tessa gets over and I find it so far fetched that in the span of a semester she is able to go through and recover from the shit people put her through. in twilight bella had a whole seasonal montage of sadness and she got dumped, Tessa gets humiliated and tormented and pops back up like a daisy. it just made me angry and upset after reading it. you can ask my boyfriend I read the second one just out of anger and the desire to know if Tessa calls bs and leaves everyone (spoiler alert no change still making sub par choices) so ya the characters mare annoying and they're sucky and overall you will want to pull your hair out. but thats just one woman's opinion. if you love super rocky relationships, main characters that do exactly the opposite of what you want them to, and a whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooole 
lot of super detailed sex scenes then this is probably for you. 
thanks for reading 

p.s. if there is ever a guy that I think a friend should stay away from they will not be getting "just stay away from him, he's bad news". oh no sister. I'm spilling the whole tea. I will give you a powerpoint on every skeleton in their closet if I think they are going to emotionally reck my friend.

p.p.s I just found out this is a 1D fanfic and I am currently gaging she really try to mix harry styles and fifty shades of grey someone take away this woman's computer

The Darkest Star

have you ever gotten something completely out of the blue that you didn't even think to think of but desperately needed? like subconsciously? like a laser guided pizza cutter or a colonoscopy? kidding I feel like they schedule those. okay but really that was this book was everything I didn't know I needed and more. ladies and gentlefolk, jennifer has done it again. for those of you who have read the lux series (if you haven't get your life together asap) you know that it's completed and has been for a phat minute and since I live under a rock and jennifer has already done like two spinoff novels this one shocked me. like cattle fence that you grab thinking its a regular fence shocked. where did this come from? idk heaven possibly.....im not going to question the miracle. so the Darkest Star *deep inhale* HOLYSHITTHATWASLITERALLYLIKEHTEREVIVALTHATINEEDEDINORDERTOSURVIVE
so ya. it was amazing. this book was about Luc and Evie Dasher five years after the invasion and it was so magically delicious I cried several times. we get to see some of our favorite extraterrestrials *if you know you know* and this story is just amazing. again I didn't even think this was a possibility but here we are slack jawed as our queen jennifer pulls off yet ANOTHER masterpiece. shook after shook after shook. plot twist after plot twist after plot twist. FOLLOWED BY PLOT TWIST. I'm talking put down the book and stare at a wall trying to understand what just happen plot twist. I mean this book wrecked my heart in the best way. we all know JLA has a way with words and bish does it again, her dialogue is witty and amazing as per usually and her characters will become your best friends. which is a little depressing but thats a discussion for another time. this is one of the first books I have had time to read since summer vacation and it was so beautiful and the perfect book to yank me back into the world of fandoms and goodreads. I think more than anything what I loved about this book was it brought back my favorite universe, I thought it was over but theres clearly so much more going on. if you don't resinate just imagine if you favorite show stopped airing and some time later they randomly say "hey we are back to rock your world your welcome." so yes amazing characters, amazing plot, Evie is one of my favorite new characters (bad bish), and Luc is Luc which was just amazing. if you don't read and then want this book to have your babies then you probably don't like puppies and never believed in Santa.

this was a review...now it's a rant

its 1 am and im so tired but do y'all know whats more important than sleep? books. and photosynthesis so show your neighborhood plant some affection. I may or may not have just gotten my lesson plan for the science class I'm taking *shrieks in nerd*.
I was here to talk about lovely reckless but I think there are other things that need to be addressed. I've been doing a lot of reflecting recently, about my flaws and who I am blah blah blah. you can ask my boyfriend I am very bad at articulating and understanding my feelings. but I have found that when I read a book I see characters with flaws or messing crap up I can go "oh...hey...I do that". but here's the kicker. most of the posts on here in which I negatively reviewed a book, it was usually because the character was flawed. because the main girl was too needy or she had issues etc etc. now this isn't every book...some books just have crappy characters. but I think I have to work on differentiating between crappy and real. and thats a blurry line let me tell you.  so I'm gonna hush now but heres a standing ovation for some of the novels I have shit talked here. and heres a bigger round of applause for the authors who were able to make real people. ya I didn't like them for their flaws because you made them painfully relatable. you made them come to life. you made me realize that a perfect character doth not a perfect book make.
so
with this in mind
I'm going to go order several more books on the amazon prime, try to understand the characters as multifaceted beings whose flaws do not guarantee a bad book, take some allergy medicine, and finish the last movie in the twilight series. it's on amazon prime for free fyi ur welcome
thanks for reading

Soul Screamers

seven books. two days. i regret every decision that has lead me to this point. welcome to the danger zone my chummies. ill never say that again ever I swear but it felt right in the moment. so basically it's the end of the cycle and im cramming grades and assignments when I stumble upon this series and this is one of those series that if you want any closure at all you have to read all seven books and because I'm obsessive I finished them in two days. again r e g r e t. thanks a lot Rachel Vincent now I'm failing spanish. ya know I do this every time I start talking only to realize y'all don't care so ill talk about the book. FIRST OF ALL. the character has the same name as me different spelling, lives really close to where I live, her best friend and my best friend go to the same college, she's described to look the same as me, and we like the same obscure ice cream flavor from ben and jerry's. COINCIDENCE. I THINK NOT.
I just found this (I passed my classes if anyone cares)and because I read this so long ago and don't really remember ill hit the highs and lows I do in short brief points
good stuff:
-good romance
-great characters
-nothing like I've ever read before in that the supernatural stuff is very original
-funny one lines
bad stuff:
-lots of filler writing (seven books could have been four)
-the author spelled kayleigh as Kaylee. incorrect.

that is all.
adios
