I really liked this series it was entertaining and I enjoyed the plot and characters. It wasn't anything different but it was enjoyable to read. I loved that the main character was an air hostess, it was awesome learning more about that profession and it was cool that she was a painter on the side. One thing that really made me angry was some of the jokes about self harm. There wasn't many of them maybe one or two per book but self harm jokes are something I hate so this really put a damper on the books for me. if I didn't enjoy the story's so much I would of put the books down after I saw the first on. But over all they where interesting an entertaining books that i learnt some things from and would recommend to any romance lovers.

I gave each book 4 out of 5 stars.

Shatter Me

I really enjoyed this book, It is a fast easy read with a very interesting writing style. Tahereh Mafi has an interesting creative writing style that uses lots of metaphors, and I mean lots of them. The writing was my favorite part of this book. The book its self isn't anything great, the kinda magical powers concept is cool but the book focuses on romance more than the awesome dystopian world and the magic like "powers" some people have. Over all I was a little let down by this book but it was still a fun interesting read. So if your looking for some cute romance and a quick easy to read book I would recommend this.

 3.5 out of 5

Unravel Me

This book was enjoyable, I didn't love it but it was okay. I found it really hard to read and get into, I had to take a break and read another book about half way though because it was just such a task to read. The only thing that kept me reading was the need to know what happens. I'm glad I did finish it though because the second half was much easier to read than the first half. I think I might of not been in the right mood when I picked it up and the pause in the middle helped put me in the mood for it. Over all it diffidently wasn't as good as the first book in the series but it was readable and I enjoyed it. I will continue the series but its no longer a priority. I was really hoping to love this series like everybody else seems to but its only okay in my books. If you liked damaged female mains, romance. love triangles and dystopians I would recommend this series.

Mini Review: Gathering Blue

Gathering Blue
Written by Lois Lowry

I loved Gathering Blue, even more the The Giver. I think it was the fact it was set in the past rather than the future and that the main was a female rather than a male. I am female therefore I find my self connecting to Female characters more than male. Don't get me wrong I still love a lot of books with male mains but I would rather read a book with a female main. I loved the arty side to Gathering blue it really appealed to my creative side. It was interesting reading how they made something like dye without the technology we have today. Over all I would                                                        highly recommend this book if you have read the giver,                                                        you are an enjoyed of "back in the day" books or                                                                  dystopians.
                                                                  
                                                   5 out of 5 stars
