Purtroppo ho avuto la sfortuna di leggere questo libro in italiano, forse, anzi sicuramente, la versione originale non presenta tutti gli errori grammaticali e di sintassi che invece caratterizzano la versione italiana.Il doppio POV è molto interessante perché ci fa vivere le paure e i dubbi, spesso...

Review also posted at Ja čitam, a ti? Jenny Downham is another author that I need to add to my list - authors-that-make-things-real as she really does that. In this story you get to read about the thing that have have happened before and unfortunately are likely to happen again. Mikey is a...

*SPOILERS*What a massive letdown. The cover is intriguing, the blurb is interesting the book? Not so much.I loved Before I Die, it's one of my favourite books. So I was expecting this one to be great, if not at least good and tolerable. It wasn't. I actually didn't finish this book. I stopped at 200...

You against Me was a book I had wanted to read for quite some time. I was not disappointed. This was a real powerhouse of a novel. It kept me gripped from the first page right to the very last.Mikey McKenzie: Mikey's world has just been turned upside down. His younger sister Karyn has been raped and...

You Against Me begins a little slow and takes a some getting used too, but if you give it a few chapters, you'll quickly fall into the culture and rhythm depicted in Jenny Downham's impossible love story. The contrasting lives of two families living in close proximity creates a push and pull that is...

I wanted to read something easy and fast, and by all means, this was easy and fast. I don't see where all the high ratings come from though. It was an OK story, but the characters were kind of sloppy. Ellie, her mother and brother were quite poorly constructed and I got the impression there were two...

Due to copy and paste, formatting has been lost.I never in a million years thought that I would read this book again. But I was reading a gal's book-swap page, and I noticed this one on the list, and I started to think about why I didn't want to read it again. And I could not for the life of me thin...

What a remarkable book! Really, there isn’t another word that I can think of to describe You Against Me other then remarkable. A story that easily could have fallen into the depressing and already been done before categories managed to tell a story that has been told by thousands and to tell it in a...

They both grave for revenge and want to dig up some secrets and by doing that, they are digging their own graves, becaus...
