Walk On by Stephen Panus, Stephen Panus

Firstly I want to thank BookTasters for the opportunity they gave me to read this book.
As someone who has suffered with grief and the loss of many family members, this book portrays not only the feelings the people who lose those people have but also everything that is not known. The feelings and actions we tend to have and do because of how we end up feeling.
This novel was beautiful to read because of the wonderful writing style and how it easy it is to read. The topics are not easy topics to talk about but the author explains it in a way that gives comfort I would even say. You don't only get sentences that make you think and reflect on what you read but the reader also gets a story that is beautiful to read. It also gives examples of real famous important people who suffered from hard personal issues and it explains how they never let those issues stop them which is encouraging.
I hardly ever like self-help books because I usually don't like how they are written but this book is one of the few exceptions I will make. I learned so much about life and about myself I want to thank the author for that because it was his implacable writing and the story he describes that helped me.
Again, I want to thank BookTasters for letting be read this book in exchange of this honest review nad I also want to thank the author for writing this wonderful novel that everyone who is having a rough time should definitely read because they will have a different approach on life and in their way of seeing life that will be very beneficial.

yes i liked this one more than the first one but the feelings while reading it were >>>>
I experimented so many feelings and i had in my head a voice for the characters so it was like if i knew them and heard what they talked about and i felt like if i knew them and the place forever, its been so long since i experienced that with a book, now i have high expectations for the last one

The Score by Elle Kennedy
I did not like a single thing about this book except the parts of Dean with kids and him figuring out he wants to be a pe teacher. Allie is must say is SO GOOD i love her character and how she decides on her actress career.
This book is the one with the most +18 (s4x) scenes and i cant with it, it's too much and I hated it SO MUCH.
Now even though Dean is not a character i like much, what happens at the end with him is very very sad, it got me in shock because he doesn't deserve it, and the person that happens to doesn't deserve it either (if you read the book you know what scene i am referring to).
Finally, the last few lines with Tucker i am now not ready to read his book cause that is a trope I HATE more than ANYTHING but i am having hope cause a friend told me he was gonna be my favorite boy and i believe her word
fast-paced

I liked this one more than the first one, but still very mid. The writing style is still horrible and the actual plot is still predictable but as the other one, the character background and character development is great!!
I did like the idea of the stupid list Logan had to do for Grace and what happens at the end in the radio program, i would die if happened to me but i felt like it fitted the story very well.
Grace is lovely and Logan is also great!
Mid book but better than the other one, i still do not have high expectations for the other two

I knew i was not gonna like the book, but there has been a fee things that actually impressed me
The writing style is terrible, there js not much to the story, like its very easy and predictable plus it has miscommunication which i hate but even tho it was not good as such, the charcater development impressed me a lot and the background from Garret was actually very interesting. Garret friends are catching up my eye a lot cause I really want to know what is their deal, so i guess i will continue the series ro figure it out but my expectations are definitely not high
There not much else i liked besides that, there were too many +18 scenes which i dont like and because the love story is that fast there is nothing interesting to expect. I prefer the love story with chicha and slow burn...
I also want to clarify if i read this when i was getting into reading at 14 i would be so in love with romance now, and i know the perfect people to recommend this to, so it was bad but it was an experience i guess

I loved it. I dont have words to describe how incredible this books is. From the characters, to the suspense everything is worth reading.
Pippa is a wonderful character and Ravi is the book bf everyone wants, the mystery keeps you on your tippy toes until the end and at one point everyone is a suspect, it is crazy how easy and fast pace the book is. It was beautiful and now i am starting the 2nd one cause i hace to know what happens next to these two characters that stole my heart.
