Book Review : Something Blue

Hello again , this is the review for the squeal to something borrowed ; Something Blue
If you haven't read something borrowed yet stop reading this now because there isn't anyway I can explain what Something Blue is about without telling you the ending to something borrowed. I will try to not divulge much about the first book.
This is the Cover:


This book is from Darcy's point of view which was interesting for me because I heard about her obviously from something borrowed but we never knew much about her other than Rachel's observations and opinons so it was nice to see how she sees herself and the rest of the world. She desperately moves to London to live Ethan after her relationship with Marcus - the father of her unborn child- falls through and all of her friendships disapear because of her obsession with Dex and Rachel's relationship. Soon after she moves to London she realizes that she needs to be less self obsessed to become a better mother to her child , she then meets Geoffrey who is her doctor and tells her that she isn't having the one daughter she wanted but she is having two twin boys. She later starts dating him but they soon break up. with a lot of other things happening this book is filled with drama and somebody trying to be a better person for her child while Darcy starts out as a spoilt PR woman who lives her life going out parting and looking good to her friends , she reforms herself and becomes a generous person who learns to love another more than herself , in her twin boys and her msytery man , I loved reading this book because i found it interesting to figure out the whole thing from the first book from Darcy's point of view as she was having an affair as well, also it was good to really see how vain and self centered she was before she reformed herself.

Book Review : Something Borrowed

Hello , here's another book review from me , I just finished reading the sequel to this book and I thought i should do this book review first then do the second one next.
Anyway I will start this review now , this is the book cover:


This book was about an intelligent thirty year old Lawyer -Rachel- who's Best friend -Darcy- has just got engaged to Rachel's law school friend , Dex. On the night of Rachel's 30th Birthday Darcy throws her a huge party but goes home early leaving Dex and Rachel alone , which starts on innocently but leads into them going back to Rachel's apartment and sleeping together behind Darcy's back. this starts their full fledged affair which carries on through the rest of the summer. They start being more than just an affair as they fall in love with each other and Dex Decides to come clean to Darcy right at the end of the book and Darcy has a shocking secret.

This Book shows what real female friendships are about even the best of friends have competition between them it also show's that even in the hardest of situations true love always conquers all. It is a tale of true love and betrayal to even the best of friends and I personally love the realism in this book. I love how Rachel and Darcy are pretty much the opposite of each other as Darcy is Vain and dumb who cares more about social status than love and Rachel is a dreamer who is insecure and intelligent.
This book is good for most types of people and I would read it personally!

This is a Book Review on Nicolas Spark's newest novel the Best of me , I'm sorry it took so long after being released for me to review it but I've been waiting for my local library to get it in and they just did two days ago and i couldn't put it down from the first second I started reading it
Here is the Book Cover:


The story is about two young lovers who were separated twenty years ago because of Amanda's parents Dislike for Dawson.

They soon realise that their mentor had set it up for them to be able to spend the weekend together prior to his death because he knew that they both belong together.

This Book was an amazing tale of regret and love and how no matter how your life turned out there will allways be something you wished you'd done when it comes down to it. It is a story of neverending loyalty from Dawson as he spends his life living off the memories of what he and Amanda once had.
Like All Nicolas Sparks' books it leaves you wishing for a guy as loyal as Dawson and is such an individual story of true love!
Anyone who loves romance should definatly buy this book or at least read it.

Book Review : The Lucky One.

Hello , I haven't reviewed a book in a while because I've been working on my writing instead of my reading because if I want to be a writer I have to practice my writing which is going really well and i have some good research and ideas!


Anyway to the real reason of the blog entry to review another truly heartwarming novel by Nicolas Sparks who is a reason why I want to be a writer so I obviously love his books otherwise He wouldn't be my inspiration to do what I want to with my life anyway.. going off topic again sorry.
This is the cover of the Lucky one



The Book is called 'The Lucky One' and is a romance novel like most of Sparks' books and it completely lives up to the name of romance novels being and compelling story with amazing characters that draw you into the story and make you feel like they are your oldest friends that are telling you about their life.
Just in case you haven't heard of it and want to know what it is about I will write a short synopsis about it here:
It starts of with a freaky guy who is speaking about how he is a police officer and is spying on college girls who are trying to tan naked ( this is what made him really freaky and is a very important thing to remember ) A hiker walks by and catches him and steals his camera that he was using to take pictures of the girls he gives the camera to the girls while he gets a ride with them , we eventually find out that the hikers name is Logan Thibault and he has Trekked across half of the country with his dog , he is a marine from Iraq and while he was in Iraq he found a picture of a blonde girl who was in her twenties shortly after he was almost killed and his friend was convinced that She was his lucky charm and after a few other near death experiences and easy winnings in poker he starts to believe in it too and after his friend was killed by a ore that should have hit him he becomes convinced that his story with the girl in the picture isn't over and he indirectly owes her his life , he decides to track her down using small details from the photo to find out where she is and where she might be at the moment , he eventually tracks her down but nothing goes to plan when he plans to just tell her about the photo and ends up taking a job at her family's dog training place and unintentionaly falls in love with her and she falls in love with him to and he also has a strong relationship with her son and helps her to overcome her ex husbands control over her life , but what happens when she finds out about the photo ? Will it all come tumbling down ?
T   This story to me shows that anythings possible if you put your best effort into it , it shows that being in a war changes even the strongest of people and sometimes things are meant to be and nothing is just a coincidence I love the charecters in this story and the storyline is so different to anyother book I have read , I really would recemend reading this book and all of nicolas spark's other books to 

      If you do plan to read this book i would highly recemend doing it before the new film comes out in april because the books are allways better than the film! 

Love
