They were childhood friends whose comfort level was something we all would be jealous of. Their contentment began because there were so many similarities between Finn and Autumn starting with their birth which was one week apart, they lived right next door to each other and their mothers had been be...

This book was really good.That being said, this book also pissed me off epically. Beware there will be some spoilers but not also because we already know what happens in the end from the first chapter.SO basically the story is about Autumn and Finny who are/were best friends. Their mothers were best...

I both hate and love books that make me cry, so I'm not going to ask myself why I read this, knowing what happens. And I did love this, despite Autumn making it hard for me to like her. But I did kind of understand her, maybe not always, but I did.

I couldn't resist this book. I am a sucker for a best friends coming of age story and this one sounded like a heartrending, tearjerker...and it was that and more.

It's almost 3AM and I am reeling from my reading experience. How to even begin?Last I left the book I was more than halfway through. I thought I could definitely finish this "tomorrow", but I meant like tomorrow afternoon. Well it literally is "tomorrow" since it's the 13th of April. 3AM. So since i...

Real rating 2 1/2. See more of my reviews at Take Me Away... This book could have been so extremely epic. But there were so many things preventing it from being that. It took me couple days just to sit down and figure out how to word the review without turning it into a rant. Yes, I am just THAT ma...

It’s a pattern. Every time around this time of the year, I find myself drifting away from my reading and reviewing obsession. It’s not because I want to. It’s because circumstances around me eventually make me. It’s the start of summer here. And there are SO MANY things to do! There are those annual...
