February 2017 Wrap Up
1. A Court of Mist and Fury, Sarah J. Maas 5/5 (A Court of Thorns and Roses #2)
Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.
Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two
What do I do now?
How am I supposed to function?
How can I wait two months for the next book?
This book was phenomenal. I put off this book for so long because I had some idea of what was going to happen. I was an idiot to put off reading this glorious book. It’s so hard for me to not spoil the book. Once you pick up this book you will not be able to put it down. It is so addicting and thrilling. I loved seeing the world that Sarah J. Maas created. They could seriously make a theme park out of her books. They need to get on that. The world is so vivid, mysterious and unbelievable. You feel like you are physically in this book. That’s why you won’t want to put it down. Her characters were fantastic but that’s kind of to be expected. That being said I loved the turn she took with this book. It was somewhat unexpected, surprising and thrilling. You have no idea what will happen next. I love that Feyre is such a badass character. She is in no way the damsel in distress by the end of this book. She grows up and becomes so much stronger. I wish I could elaborate on that more but it would give away too much.
I physically don’t know what I’m going to do until I get the next book.

“I was not a pet, not a doll, not an animal.
I was a survivor, and I was strong.
I would not be weak, or helpless again
I would not, could not be broken. Tamed.”

2. Pushing the Limits, Katie McGarry 4/5
“The worst type of crying wasn't the kind everyone could see--the wailing on street corners, the tearing at clothes. No, the worst kind happened when your soul wept and no matter what you did, there was no way to comfort it. A section withered and became a scar on the part of your soul that survived. For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life.”
No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal. But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.
I went to the library one day and asked them to give me the cheesiest romance book they could find. I needed a pick me up from everything that had happened the week. I knew it was perfect by the looks of the cover. This book was not exactly the cheesy romance book that I wanted. It is full of angst, real life romances with a touch of romance. Not what I wanted, but it was still a good book.
3. Emmy & Oliver, Robin Benway 4/5
“The more you start to love someone, the more you ache when they’re gone, and maybe it’s that middle ground that hurts the most, when you can see them and still not feel like you’re near enough.”
Emmy just wants to be in charge of her own life.
She wants to stay out late, surf her favorite beach—go anywhere without her parents’ relentless worrying. But Emmy’s parents can’t seem to let her grow up—not since the day Oliver disappeared.
Oliver needs a moment to figure out his heart.
He’d thought, all these years, that his dad was the good guy. He never knew that it was his father who kidnapped him and kept him on the run. Discovering it, and finding himself returned to his old hometown, all at once, has his heart racing and his thoughts swirling.
Emmy and Oliver were going to be best friends forever, or maybe even more, before their futures were ripped apart. In Emmy’s soul, despite the space and time between them, their connection has never been severed. But is their story still written in the stars? Or are their hearts like the pieces of two different puzzles—impossible to fit together?
This was the kind of book that I was looking for. For some reasons I had high expectations for this book. I guess because the cover looked so cool. This is the kind of book that you can read in one day. There isn’t much to the characters and you can predict the ending of the book. At the same time it was a good and quick story.
4. Everything, Everything, Nicola Yoon 4/5
“Maybe growing up means disappointing the people we love.”
My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.
But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.
Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster.
DON’T WATCH THE TRAILER BEFORE READING THE BOOK
Why do trailers ruin everything? Why do they have to tell the whole story? It’s like Me Before You all over again. I’ve heard a lot of things about this book and I tried to go into it with no expectations. This book definitely has a ‘Fault in our Stars’ vibe. Both of the characters are witty, sarcastic and way to wise for their age. I wish more teenagers were like that. Did I like this book? Absolutely. Did I expect more from it? Yeah, probably. There was definitely insta-romance which is always disappointing but the story and the characters were fantastic.
READ THIS BOOK BEFORE YOU SEE THE MOVIE
