Yeah, that was a FANTASTIC read. Wow! I have a lot of thoughts, I'll review fully tomorrow.I don’t even know where to start with this one. First off, this book is not something I would normally pick up to read, but after seeing it everywhere on my feed I thought why not? I am so glad that I did. What a great read. There were times I was so wrapped up in their conversations and the emotions they were projecting I forgot their circumstances. How about those circumstances? I don’t think I would have survived, ever! Well, if I had my very own Bastian I think I would at least have had a chance! The struggle we saw Bastian go through, reliving his life, baring his soul was heartbreaking and at times very difficult to read. Watching him open and trust and love was beautiful even though it was very difficult. This book surprised me. I loved it and as I said above, never would have thought that could be true. The end gutted me, what he went through when they left their “home” was so very hard to read. Seeing Raine stand up to him, tell him and show him she was his “home” was beautiful. Now, the very end, what? I thought this was a standalone book. Obviously it is not. The last chapter really made me think about coincidence and if it really, truly was fate. It also made me very nervous about what is to come. So glad I gave this book a chance even if I thought it would be out of my normal comfort zone. Very well written and I can’t wait for more.
Read. Book Reviews by Jennifer
Read. Read. Read. I have been a reader since I learned how. It’s what I do. Everything else is kind of secondary, but shhh, that is just between us! I can’t actually remember any time in my life where I didn’t read. I am an addict and do not hide it or am I looking for a cure. I love reading so much I just got Read. tattooed on my arm so I can see it when I read.
I love reading books that have romance in them. They can have whatever else they want to but I love to have at least a touch of romance. Of course, I love a full blown romance too! I am not a big fan of real life stories or stories that rip my heart out. Too much emotion hurts my heart and I read for an escape. I also try to stay away from overly dark reads. There is a fine line that I walk and if I consider something that seems out of my comfort zone I have to read a lot of reviews and talk to other readers first.
When I am not reading I am very active on Goodreads. Reading reviews, writing reviews and chatting about books is second best to the actual reading. I don’t know how I lived without Goodreads. If I could go back in time and catalog everything I have ever read I would know true happiness. One day I would at least like to get all the books I own added to Goodreads. I have always been obsessed with keeping track. I always had lists with me so I knew what I read, what I wanted to read and what I owned. Now having one place to do this and with friends is amazing!
I try to review everything I read. I don’t usually provide a synopsis on my review; I focus more on what I honestly thought about the book. This opinion could at times be very long winded or sometimes just a sentence or two. I love reading and love to share my thoughts with others. Hopefully it will help them decide they also want to read the book. I will never be one of those amazing reviewers. You know the ones that I mean, you can’t miss them. But I do read daily and usually have something to say about the book that I read.
