Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins Book Review!

Hi everyone!

Now I'm FINALLY reviewing Anna an the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins.

Spoiler alert!

Anna's parents sending to attend high school in France, which she thinks is the worst thing ever, until she meets a certain boy.

Although Anna may not be my favorite main character, I like just fine. As a character, Anna is pretty cool, and I would like to be her friend.

I really like St. Clair. Anna and St. Clair's relationship is both sweet yet heartbreaking. St. Clair can so sweet. And He's just so cocky and lovable that he can pretty much weasel his way into anywhere. I also love St. Clair's friendship with Josh.

Josh is probably my favorite side character of the book. I didn't really like josh and Rashmi's relationship. It's not that I don't like Rashmi, but after reading the synopsis of Isla and the Happily Ever After I was kind of sold on who I shipped with. And the fact that Isla appears in this book was cool.

I really, really love the ending. It's my favorite part of the book, but just like the ending of the How to Love. Anna and St. Clair got together at the very end of the story, and even though it was a solid ending, my shipper heart wanted more.

I really liked this book and I definitely recommend it.

Well, that's all for now. Bye!

The One by Kiera Cass Book Review!

I'm finally reviewing The One, which is the third book in The Selection series by Kiera Cass. This is, by far, my favorite book in the series.

I don't know where to start. How about I start with saying AMERICA AND MAXON ARE TOGETHER!!! NOW I CAN DIE HAPPY!!! To be honest accidentally had it spoiled for that America chose Maxon, but I didn't really care because that's what I wanted.

I guess the one thing that was annoying was that they just wouldn't say that they loved each other in the beginning of this book. There was a part where America say that she's not going to say it first. Really America? I love the part when they finally say I love you to each other, and I love the part when Maxon tells her to call him her royal husbandness was really cute.

And Aspen and Lucy! I ship it! I like Aspen more in this book then the last two books. I don't hate Aspen, I just don't like it when someone tries to get in the way of my OTP. I think Aspen and Lucy make a great couple.

I'm a little sad that some characters I liked died, but I'm really happy my favorite characters are alive!

And then there's Celeste, who I didn't like at all in books one and two was now being nice and supportive and almost all I could think is 'Who are you and what have you done with Celeste?' Not that her being nice was a bad, it was just so unlike her, but I'm glad she had a change of heart, until, you know, the end.

I love this book! It was both heartbreaking and heartmending, and the ending was amazing!!! I NEED THE HEIR NOW KIERA CASS!!!

The Elite by Kiera Cass Book Review!

 I'm now going to review The Elite, which is the second book in The Selection series by Kiera Cass. WARNING: SPOILERS!

Here's a short summary. America is confused about her feelings for Maxon and Aspen. Told you it was short.

I'm the kind of person who watches reviews on YouTube so I kind of knew a little about what happened in this book, but I didn't know exactly what I was getting myself into until I read. I love this book but I agree with CassJayTuck when I say that this book was frustrating in good way.

Most of the book America being with Maxon one minute and then Aspen the next. I mentioned in my review for The Selection that I don't like Aspen and America as a couple. At all. And by the time I read this book I was at the point where I wanted Aspen to leave because he was annoying me. And there were part when Maxon kind of got on my nerves, like seeing him make out with Celeste. As for America, I actually kind of like her. Some people who read the books really don't seem to like that much, but I do. Yeah, she's not my favorite heroin in all of book history, but she's okay.

The parts I did like has to be the cute Maxerica parts. I ship them so much!

There were also scenes that made my jaw drop to the floor, and one of the was the whole thing with Marlee. That scene was so sad but it was sweet that Carter was trying to reassure her that everything will be okay, and then they got married which I thought was sweet. 

I don't like the king at all. He's such a horrible person! And the part where Maxon and America are in the room together and he shows her his back that whole scene just made my sad and he said that he should have proposed that night in her room, and she said that she should have let him, and by that point I was crying.

Another part that made my jaw drop was America attacking Celeste. I was expecting her to punch Celeste, but then that happened. Celeste did deserve it, but I don't really now how I feel about that scene.

I really do like this book, but, honestly, it's not my favorite of the series.

The Selection by Kiera Cass Book Review!

I'm back with another review! This time I'm reviewing The Selection which is the first book in the Selection trilogy by Kiera Cass. I loved this book!!! 

Everyone in the country of Illea are rated by the caste system starting from One to Eight and your caste determines her occupation, pretty much. America Singer, a Five is in love with Aspen, a Six, who tells her to enter the Selection. Whoever wins the Selection gets to marry Prince Maxon. When America meets Maxon he's nothing like she thought he was and starts falling for him, not sure if she should choose Aspen or Maxon.

I ship Maxon and America so hard! For me the boat of 'Who Do I Ship With America' sailed when I first saw Maxon. When I saw Aspen and America being all couple-y I felt nothing and Aspen kept reminding me of Gale from The Hunger Games. But when I saw Maxon and America together I couldn't help smiling. And when Aspen came back into the picture near the end of the book I wanted him to leave. I have nothing against Aspen, I just don't really like him that much. And if you read my reviews you know how I feel about love triangles.

I love Maxon's character. He's so different from every guy in every YA book that I read so far. He's so polite, and compassionate, and just a gentleman which was very nice to see.

And then there's Celeste who I REALLY don't like! Her character reminds me of Nellie Olsen from the Little House books. I like Marlee and America's friendship, and it was nice to see that not all of the girls were competitive and were nice to America. 

And let's take a moment and look at the book cover. That's one of the reasons why I love this series: the covers are beautiful and the dresses are so pretty!

I saw some people say that this book is "too girly", but I'm perfectly fine with that. The Selection isn't The hunger Games, or Divergent, or Legend and I like those books and all, but sometimes it's nice to have a change and this was a change I liked.

All in all, this was a great book, and I want to read The Elite.
