All We Could Not Leave Behind takes place during WWII. Even though this book is based mostly about the friendship and love of two characters Hayden and Chidori you see the struggles and what it really means to never give up hope. When Chidori family is kick out of there home for being Japanese Candian during the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Chidori and her family is sent to an internment camp. Hayden decides to enlist and everyday he thinks about how Chidori and him will be together again.
I loved the point of view of the main character being from the male. I loved how you had snippets of Chidori's journal entries. I love to read historic fiction even though this was more about their love then the war. It was a fantastic read....more
This was trash that I have decided to read. With that being said I enjoyed the first book I understood why the the second book was written but this onThis was trash that I have decided to read. With that being said I enjoyed the first book I understood why the the second book was written but this one annoyed me to the core. Tessa is so whiny and indecisive. With Her saying "I cant take this"or "I cant do this anymore"and then the next moment she is back with Hardin. They were NEVER apart long enough to see how it is to be without each other. This story line was so repetitive 800 page book cut into maybe a 300 pages. I could keep going on and on why I didnt like this book but I'm done.
There is another book after this and I just want to pick it up because I have invested 3 books into this 4 book series. ...more
Love, Unscripted is written in 3 timelines. You have the moment where the main character Nick meets Ellie the night of the presidential election of 20Love, Unscripted is written in 3 timelines. You have the moment where the main character Nick meets Ellie the night of the presidential election of 2008. Then you have the after the part where their relationship is over and Nick is trying to figure how everything went wrong. The third part (The Intermission) is written more in depth of their relationship and how some things were in Nick's mind.
This book deals with relationships, friendships, and trying to figure life out when it seems that everything is falling apart.
I felt the book was a little slow. I had a hard time investing my time in this story so it took a little longer to finish. I felt like Nick was a little annoying with his choices. The movie references I didnt get because I have never watched any of the movies. With that aside. I did find Nick and his sister funny at times. I did like The Intermission parts of the story where you get to know the characters a little bit better. Unfortunately that was the shortest part of the story.

The book starts Lost in the Spanish Quarter is about Heddi is an american exchange student who goes to Naples and and meets Pietro and falls in love. The book starts off a few years later with an email written to Heddi from Pietro admitting that he was wrong.
This book was really descriptive about everything and I found myself getting lost at times and not knowing what was going on. I felt like she would have flashbacks about a certain situation and I wouldn't even know that what was happening. I loved the email part of the story. I just felt like I wanted more from the characters and not really the plot....more

Cherokee Summer is about two teens who come from two different worlds and fall in love. Ace and John might come from different backgrounds but both face similar experiences. Both teen face a mother who is an alcoholic and a father who isn't around much or not at all. I found the story to be a fun read with some laugh out loud moments. I found some of the experiences the characters face to be realistic especially when it came to like racism, families, and friends. I did have some issues with the story at the same time. I did not like the mothers character and how she tried to push this other boy on her daughter. Even though the daughter made it clear she wanted nothing to do with him. I found the fathers interactions with his daughter more like a older brother like if you won't tell I won't tell situation. Then I also found the story some what cheesy. The characters only knew each other for a short time and fall in love. Some of the things they said to each other made my eyes roll. But over all it was an easy read and enjoyable enough to finish....more
