The premise of this book….I can’t even. Okay, imagine a world where people live to be pretty. I’m not talking like the stars and famous people of now, I mean when you turn 16 everyone gets an operation to make them look pretty. Everyone looks the same and acts the same. Being Pretty is normal, and every Littlie dreams of the day when they can have the operation and no longer be an Ugly. A world of happy mindless robots, where […]

Review: Rules of Attraction by Simone Elkeles

I adore love/hate romance stories. I really do. I loved this book! Not quite as much as I loved Perfect Chemistry, but it was still awesome!

There was a clear change in voices and they had their own individual personalities. It was easy to tell where one person ended […]

First of all, she was selfish. She ran […]

Not gonna lie, I very nearly marked this as DNF about 200 pages through. I really should have. I was going to give myself another 40 pages, and by then I was so close to the end I just forced myself to finish the rest. Plus, I had heard a lot of people saying that the last half is worth it…NOT. It was the same dull, drab story all the way through for me. I think the real issue here […]
