Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly event hosted by Parajunkee & Alison of Alison Can Read.

 

 

The question this week is: 

 

 

Question of the Week: Tell us about a book that you didn’t like and why we shouldn’t read it (as nicely and respectfully as possible) 

 

My answer for this has to be Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding. I loved the movie but the book was nothing but Bridget whinging. My review of it can be found here.

Book Review #432 - Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) by Tahereh Mafi

it's almost
time for war.



Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.


She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.


Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.


In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

My Rating: 4/5

This book is the sequel to Shatter Me which I did read for the second time before reading this. 

There were A LOT of plot twists in this book which made me read the last 250 or so pages in one sitting. 

I really do not like Warner. Although I am hoping that once I read Destroy Me which I believe is told from his perspective I might open up to him a bit.

The character that most surprised me in this book was Kenji. I didn't like him that much in Shatter Me probably because it wasn't completely clear whether Juliette could trust him or not. I love his 'superpower' the most and his backstory. 

James is sweet like his brother Adam but also has an innocent nature to him which makes it impossible not to like him. Adam actually annoyed me a bit in this book. He just seemed like a completely different character from the first book. 

The romance in this book wasn't as strong in this book as it was in Shatter Me which I loved because I felt like it overshadowed the plot in Shatter Me. 

I am hoping that we find out what became of Juliette's parents in the last book as I keep expecting them to make an appearance.

This weeks question is:  

 

 

Late April Fools. What was the best prank you’ve played or had played on you? Share!

 

The only thing I can think of is when I was in primary school I had a birthday party at my house. For some reason I decided to push my best friend down the stairs which my brother got blamed for. 

The funniest part is my brother and I still fight over it to this day because he really believes now that he was the one to push her!!
