Ellen Hopkins never lets me down when I want to read something life changing.

The mormon lifestyle is a controversial topic, I live in Australia where there is only 150,000 mormons so i've never met one but from what i see online.. it scares me.
The lifestyle looks like it has its good but the bad is really bad.
I'll have to do more research i guess.

so many characters we follow over decades - the characters kids kids kids kid and so on. Interesting but boring... it's just a family doing family stuff

It started so good but the book is broken up by the introduction of smut. The plot and characters become so bad once the author is focused on getting the readers attention with smut.

3D characters turned into cardboard characters that have sex and suddenly the plot doesn't exist anymore.
It's a cop out in some books and this might be one of them.

I've read a Penelope Douglas book before and it was great which is why I picked up this book but I won't do it again after this.

1 star book but rated it 2 stars because I can't deny that the start of the book didn't slap

can't stand the writing and it was tough to finish. I just know if this book was written in a style i liked, i wouldve loved it

ehhhh

Kings scariest villain yet. Ten thousand times scarier than Pennywise.

3.75 stars

Ellen hopkins is one of my favourite authors but this book wasn't my favourite but still extremely good. It had me shaking.

These characters need to be put down. Only rabies or some zombie disease would explain why they had sex 24/7 and when they weren't “climbing each other like trees” as the author puts it, they were talking about it... constantly.

picked this up knowing i wouldn't love it but i needed a mind-numbing no thoughts needed kind of book to read - i also wanted to see why everyone loves hockey men so much.
I regret it.

It wasn't mind numbing as my brain was constantly whirring with thoughts of how DUMB these characters are.

It was an erotica book with no plot - i know labelling it as romance will generate more sales but call it what it is, erotica.
I love me some mind-numbing erotica from time to time but when it lasts 400+ pages with no plot? nah.

The “plot” was time skipped. TIME SKIPPED.
Characters had very detailed sex - a passing mention about their skating careers with no details whatsoever - more sex

genuinely tense and nerve-wracking.

Also the ending...

hmmm don't know what to think of this.

I have a sister who is Aboriginal and i know some members of her tribe, they still face discrimination to this day but Aboriginal Australians remain the best people on earth.
Truly the most beautiful culture and people

The mum and dad in this story need to be WHOOPED

Amanda messed up at the end

Josh was just a little rat but he redeemed himself

Petey was a crusty little white dog but tolerable

In conclusion: Josh remains the only good character in this book - what a king

weirdly written and weird but not in a good way

Jane Austen and me got major beef at this point

(read in korean, not french, edition just isn't available)

이 책은 나를 거의 울게 만들었다 ! ! 네, 나는 24살이야... 하지만... 나는 아기야

got bored at the library and picked up this kids book to pass time... all i gotta say is that this book had me raging for 37 pages, i know kids books are meant to teach life lessons but by god i wanted to kill the T-rex in this book and i'm happy he didn't get his happy ending

한 입만? 거짓말...

3.75 but i'm iffy about the book rn and i might lower to a 3.5 idk
Great story telling but very very very repetitive, it got too much at some points.
The main character was really annoying at times and yes her haircut did suck

it was reaaaally good until the last 60 pages so now it's just a solid 3 star book, i will be reading the sequels as i think this author can write really good (attractive) male characters... yep that's the only reason

it was cute, adorable and whatnot and the characters felt more real to me in 30 pages then what any other author can write in a 5 book series but i wish it had more horror.
It felt like a filler story but it was good!

anya <3333333 my child <3333333

reading this well into the pandemic has made me realise how much life has changed for everyone since 2020... like its crazy

was a 4 star book until the last 60 or so pages, end was rushed and had no emotion to it (imo)

Stephen King needs to write a book like this book, i would die for a King book about a sniper ! ! !

books set in Australia are always one of a kind to me as its my home and reading books set in australia is a huge comfort

characters were great but story... ehhh

traumatising ass book.
loved it but hope to never read it again

cool concept and all but it's the second book i've read from this author where the characters become empty personalities half way through the book. There is no character development but instead a switch between the character they were and the character you want them to grow into in an instant

2.75 stars.... idk man i like the plot and the message but the characters were so unbearable and it did ruin a lot for me. It was hard to read because the characters. The characters felt very unreal which sucks because the situations in this book are very real but.. idk its hard to explain but a book like this deserved better characters to tell the story.

also naming a dog 6:30??? go to jail
