Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

Title: Maybe Someday

Author: Colleen Hoover

Rating: 10/10 :D

I don't think I've ever given a Colleen Hoover book less than 5 stars. And that never happens because the books she writes are always always ALWAYS amazing and perfect and sweet with just the right amount of sad and happy and confusing and dramatic and...I could go on forever. And the plot twists. OH MY GOD THE PLOT TWIST!!! I won't say anymore or I might ruin the story but let's just say this was a very quiet book.

And if that doesn't make you want to read it then LOOK AT THE CHARACTERS!! Ridge, Sydney, Warren, Bridgette, even Hunter and Tori, they were all realistic and nice and funny and they make you want to keep reading the book. Or maybe it was the story line. Which was also awesome! I didn't think I could love a story as much as I loved this one.

“There will never be a maybe someday.”

“Today is a really bad day, Syd. A really, really bad day. Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to keep the good ones in perspective”

“I don't want to be someone's second choice.”

Please let there be a part 2 of this. A STORY OF BRIDGETTE AND WARREN!! That would be perfect!!!

*update: there is a maybe someday sequel/prequel called maybe not starring bridgette and warren yay!! Review coming soon* 

*THIS IS THE FIRST POST WITH BOTH OF US REVIEWING THE SAME BOOK. I JUST COULDN'T CONTAIN MY FEELINGS AND WANTED TO ADD ON A LITTLE BIT TO THIS REVIEW*

One of the best things i loved in the book (and was really suprised she even managed) is the way Colleen Hoover managed to tie up everything in the end without leaving out any of the characters feelings ignored =) The situation she created made me constantly think of how she would end the book without annoying me to death or breaking my heart :P then again she is the queen of complicated book situations..you shouldn't really expect anything less than PURE PERFECTION AND AWESOMENESS from her.

Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta

Title: Saving Francesca

Author: Melina Marchetta

Rating: 9/10

Eeeep the first aussie book i've ever read! :D I guess the way everyone praised the book on goodreads made me think i'd definitely end up giving this book a 10/10 rating.. but for some reason it didn't strike me as a complete work of awesomeness and perfection xp However, it was still interesting and..cute  ^_^.

Although certain aspects of the story did remind me of a few books i'd read before.. I liked how the difference in the setting gave the story a different touch and made it sort of special to read =) The story revolves around Francesca Spinelli, and her struggle as she moves to St. Sebastian’s, "a boys' school that pretends it's coed by giving the girls their own bathroom.."

 

I'm not the only one who thought of Zoey 101 straight away..right? But don't worry..it isn't =)

The characters in the book were awesome and felt soo real =) Thomas Mackee was my favourite for some reason ..i don't have a good explanation why ;) The author had a clever way of changing really depressing..gloomy moments funny which kept you cheerful and hopeful throughout the book.

Saving Francesca was a nice..thought provoking read that also managed to show a glimpse of what it's like for someone who isn't directly facing a serious condition, but has a family member facing it instead..which is a point of view that i found unique in this book and very interesting to explore and imagine. I think it's perfect if you're looking for a good, contemporary stand-alone =) And finally, here's a few lines i loved:

“Do you think people have noticed that I'm around?"
"I notice when you're not. Does that count?”

*sighs*

“The people I'm stuck with in my life now aren't sucking the life out of me, they just suck.”

“So much hate and depression is making me feel sick, although that could also be attributed to the Pringles that I sandwiched between two Oreos.”
