As I say in my profile description, one of my favorite entertainments has actually turned out to be reading. And in quarantine I have had time to read some. Although this year I have already read 18, and I am almost reaching my reading goal in goodreads and we are hardly going for half the year (Possibly make a list of the books I have read when I complete it).
Okay. Today I am going to say which books I have read in this quarantine and my opinion, very brief. I want to say before, that you already know, my favorite type of books at this time of my life are YA, new adults, it's just my personal taste.
When Cassie Taylor met Ethan Holt at acting school, sparks flew. She was the good girl actress. He was the bad boy about campus. But one fated casting choice for Romeo and Juliet changed it all. Like the characters they were playing, Cassie and Ethan's romance seemed destined. Until he broke her heart and betrayed her trust. Now the A-list heartthrob is back in her life and turning her world around. One touch at a time.
Cast as romantic leads once again, they're forced to confront raw memories of the heartbreaking lows and pulse-pounding highs of their secret college affair. But they'll also discover that people who rub each other the wrong way often make the best sparks
This book has 4 rating stars, I gave it that score too, though I'm more inclined to 3.5. It tells a story in the present and past at the same time, of two actors who have a great love attraction, and in which one of them is always full of insecurities about everything that could go wrong in a relationship. In the past, it was him. In the present, now it is her. Well, I did not love this book, I really read it because the first part was very good; but the things that were happening in the present really couldn't stand them. It was still good, it made me get a little into the world of actors
17-year-old Kate has lived her whole life in abject poverty, with an alcoholic father and drug-addicted mother, who severely abuses Kate. At school, her second-hand clothing marks her as a target. Her refusal to stand up for herself makes her the recipient of her classmates taunts and bullying. That is, until Henry returns.
Henry Jamison moved away six years earlier, just as he and Kate had begun to develop feelings for one another. He returns to find the bright, funny, outgoing girl he had known now timidly hiding in corners, barely speaking to anyone around her, suspicious of even him.
Kate can't figure out what game Henry is playing with her - for surely it is a game. What else would the gorgeous, popular boy from her past want with her?
Kate finally decides to trust Henry's intentions, opening her heart to him. Just when it seems he might be genuine in his friendship, tragedy strikes, threatening everything Kate has worked so hard to gain. Can Henry help her to overcome this new devastation, or will it tear them apart forever?
I was planning to copy my goodreads review here, but I'll post something more general. I gave this book 3 stars, although I liked it more than the previous one. How did that happen? Basically the last chapters of this book tore it apart. I get it, because this book was published some years ago, and we don't have the current thinking, already evolved. But he had an idealization of the main boy's character that was too little credible, and since in the end he wants to close all the ends being well with everyone, it's wrong. However, it was very interesting and a bit suffocating to know how everything ended
Emma Woodhouse is one of Austen's most captivating and vivid characters. Beautiful, spoilt, vain and irrepressibly witty, Emma organizes the lives of the inhabitants of her sleepy little village and plays matchmaker with devastating effect.
After my introduction, what makes a classic here? Well, I saw the new version of the movie and totally fell in love, it is my favorite version of "Emma"; Besides that this could be my favorite Jane Austen story although Pride and Prejudice I also love. Well, I really wanted to know what was really going on in the book after watching the movie, this is what happened to the story of Elizabeth and Darcy, this is how the Austen stories catch me. This book is good, I am surprised that this author wrote this way for the time she lived, it is brilliant. It is too good a comedy, and the movie has to be seen, I love the actors and everything.
