Rating:

The first half of the year was far the best. I won several ARCs and books. The One Thing was included on those ARCs and I am really thankful to the sweet author. If not because of her? I would never had the opportunity to read her extraordinarily good debut.

The One Thing is ripping-ly funny. The characters are with prudence or propriety. Maggie, the blind protagonist, is sometimes adored by yours truly – her I-don't-want-your-pity attitude bothers me. Regardless, Curtis' did a major break through in my reading history. It's anything you could ask for as a reader. You get annoyed, you'll laugh, you'll cry, your heart will wrench, you'll get the feeling that the characters are all right and so are you and in the very last word and period, you'll say "I'll read it again!".

"Nothing worth doing is easy," Frank said. "Especially not in the beginning. But I'm not about to give up."

Since this book was on my radar last year, it never left me, where it once appeared in my dreams that I was holding it, reading it, and I was Sloane, talking to Emily, making fun of Matson for making us a story. That was ridiculous. Yeah.

You think only Sloane can write such lists? I do, too. But more about Since You've Been Gone.

1.) Make a playlist in every book you read. The playlists of this book are my jam. I never thought the author of this has same taste as mine.

2.) Find Emily. This time, it's not Sloane that you'll be seeking for but a friend like Emily. She's all you could ask for. She sees you as a sister, never thought of the bad things you do, the best BFF and she works in a customer-free ice cream shoppe!!! And hey, if you have one already, you're lucky.

3.) Run with a Frank. He's the best run buddy and keeps your courage up especially when you ride a horse.

4.) Find Morgan Matson. AND LET HER WRITE YOUR STORY BECAUSE SHE WRITES LIKE KAPAWWW WOAAHHH LOVE THAT UHMMM?? HEY!! *GRINS* *FEELS*

I thought I would rate this book five stars but (STOP: May spoil you.) that death was unacceptable. My reading interest was lost and decided after days to continue it. I was totally doubting to go on with the adventure when one is not there. It was like I was more fearful on facing the truth than Violet.

Talk about pulling you violently out of your seat, All The Bright Places is for you - all wander-gaiety-feels but painful debut.

Sorry I did a mini-reviews post. I'm so lazy to go through my notes when I was readings the books.

What have you read recently? Have you read any of these books? Or, Have you been on hiatus?

I love to collect soundtracks from books and movies. It's cool to listen to their music and to live with them. Well, only those books and movies that are oh so aplomb to me.
