To All the Boys I've Loved Before (To All the Boys I've Loved Before #1) REVIEW

By Jenny Han
Pages: 288
Publisher: Simon & Schuster

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of these letters after all.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE OMG I'M IN LOVE WITH THE LOVE! Uuugh, just thining back at this book gives me butterflies and heartache. This book was perfection in it's most eternal form - youth. I cannot get over how beautiful this is. I've only been in love once before. Once. But what I felt for this book....What I FEEL. That's true love. I'm in love. I'm so deeply in love. Our time on this planet is counted, We're all going to die eventually and I will gladly spend all my days loving this book, that's how adorkable this book by Jenny Han is. It's a true contemporary masterpiece filled with so much love and joy, I haven't been this happy in a loong time. The characters are so freking loveable, even the ones you dislike, and the narrator is such a breezy, cute and big-hearted person, and she is so hilarious! I laughed trough the whole book, and she just makes my stone-heart all warm and fuzzy with her innocence. It's so freaking nice reading about a normal teenager once in a while, I mean, always reading about brave characters like Tessa, Katniss, Tris and Anabeth can make you feel a bit useless hehe.... All I can say is that this is definitely one of the best (if not the best) contemporary books I've ever read in my whole 18 year old long life. Way to go Jenny Han, can't wait for the sequel!

Lola and the Boy Next Door (Anna and the French Kiss #2) REVIEW

Fanart from Google

By Stephanie Perkins
Pages: 338
Publisher: Dutton Books

Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion...she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit--more sparkly, more fun, more wild--the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.

When Cricket--a gifted inventor--steps out from his twin sister’s shadow and back into Lola’s life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.

This book took me with storm!
I didn't think I would like it as much as I did, didn't like Anna and the French Kiss THAAAT much but this one was seriously adorkable. 

Lola actually inspired me to buy my own wig, I'm actually looking for a pink bob hehe :)

I've never met a more interesting character than Lola to be honest. She is so different and I love it! All the characters are exciting and fun to get to know, and they stand out in their own way. I think creating interesting characters is one of the hardest things to do and Stephanie did well in that department. 

The story itself wasn't WOOOW, nothing really huge happened, but I was more than okay with that, because this book is more about the characters than anything else. 

9/10 books

The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never #1)

By J.A. RedmerskiPages: 426Publisher: Creatspace
Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart.Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far behind.With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love.But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she’d do. He shows her what it’s really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew’s dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?

What a ride!

How to read this book:
Make yourself some tea

Bake some cookies to have with the tea

Find a cozy corner with lot's of pillows and blankets

Now sit down and enjoy this roadtrip!

I thought this book was a bit different from other NA books, this book had a lot of other stuff going on a part from the romance, We have tragedies, death, love stories being shared and a lot of arguing about all kind of random stuff people argue about!

I fell in love with them both quickly. This book had some sweet moment's some very intense moment's and some moment's that left you like 

Overall this was a great book that makes me long for summer 2014 more than I should because it's so for away!

I'm quite jealous of Camryn, I wan't to go on  roadtrip with  hot, nice, funny, sweet guy like Andrew too...

The only negative thing I could think about to say about this book is the language, the language wasn't so subtlety.

that's why I'm giving this book 3/5

The second book in this series is coming out in November!

Oh, and this book is recommended for people 17+ But I'f you are younger and used to reading NA, go ahead!

Underbara Helvete / Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful #1) REVIEW

                         Travis                                                     Abby

This is Their Story.

Av Jamie McGuire
Sidor: 363
Förlag: Kalla Kulor Förlag (tack, hoppas att uppföljaren översätts!)

Abby har lämnat sitt mörka förflutna bakom sig, fast besluten att aldrig återvända. Tillsammans med sin bästa kompis America har hon flytt till Eastern University för att börja ett nytt liv. Hädanefter ska hon vara en duktig flicka. Men så möter hon Travis, killen som slåss för pengar på illegala slagsmålsklubbar och som alltid har ett koppel av tjejer efter sig.

Abby lovar sig själv att aldrig falla för Travis och istället inleder de en vänskap. En vänskap som med tiden fördjupas och intensifieras tills den plötsligt har förvandlats till just det Abby med alla medel försökt undvika. Hon vet att de inte är bra för varandra, ändå kan hon inte hålla sig borta ifrån honom.

Deras relation blir snart alltmer kaotisk, destruktivt hänförande och fullkomligt underbar. Samtidigt smyger sig Abbys förflutna allt närmare och hotar att rämna hela deras värld.

Det där var en rejäl berg- och dalbana. Vilken kärleksfull, stark, passionerande, irriterande berättelse!
I början kunde jag inte lägga ifrån mig boken. Boken vart min drog. Jag läste i timmar för att jag ville avsluta boken så att jag bara kunde älska den o krama den. Boken hade starka karaktärer som man antingen älskar eller hatar. Personligen - älskar. 
Can vi bara ta en sekund från våra liv för att prata om Travis Maddox? Han har sina problem, vi behöver inte sopa undan det under mattan, och han är väldigt försvarande om Abby. väldigt försvarande jag säger inte att det är rätt att beté sig som ett psyko ibland, men ingen är perfekt, och Abby var också lite psykad. Enligt min mening är det vad som gör denna bok så bra. Ingen utav dem är perfekta.

Abby och Travis är så underbara tillsammans, det fanns några väldigt söta stunder i boken som fick mitt hjärta att svämma av varma känslor, och jag kan svära vid att jag vid vissa tillfällen kunde känna de exakta känslrna Abby kände. Det är så du vet om en författare är bra - författaren ska få dig att KÄNNA.

Det vore fel av mig att inte tala om Amerika (Abbys bff) och Shep (Travis kusin / Americas pojkvän)
De spelar en stor roll i den här boken, och de båda påverkar Travis och Abby mycket. Ingen av dem skulle kunna stå på egna ben utan Amerika och Shep. Bandet Amerika och Abby delar är okrossbart, har de varit med om allt, men Amerika aldrig lämna Abbys sida.
Vänskap, svek, familj och kärlek. Denna bok har allt.

Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.

Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

That was one hellova roller coaster. What a, loving, strong, passionate and irritating story!
In the beginning I couldn't put it down. The book became a drug, I could read for hours because i wanted to just finish it and love it. 
The book had some really strong characters that you either loved or hated. Personally - Loved. 
Can we just take a second from our lives to talk about Travis Maddox? He got his issues, no need to deny that, he have a temper and he is very protective of Abby. very protective I'm not saying that it's right to act like a psycho at times, but no one can be perfect, and Abby is pretty Fd up to. I think that is what makes this story so good. none of them are perfect. 

Abby and Travis are so sweet together, there were some great moment's in the book that made my heart warm and fuzzy, and I swear that sometimes I felt the exact things that Abby was feeling. That's how you know the author is good - she gotta be able to make you FEEL.

It would be wrong of me not to talk about America (Abbys bff) and Shep (Travis cousin / Americas boyfriend) 
They play a big part in this book, and they both affect Travis and Abby a lot. None of them would be able to stand on their own feet without America and Shep. The bond America and Abby share is unbreakable, they have been through everything but America never leave Abby's side. 
Friendship, betrayal, family and love. This book has it all.

I have no idea how to rate this one. Like not at all. Hopefully I will know how many stars I should give this book when I'm done ranting. Let's begin.

The thing that annoyed me the most was the beginning.
A lot of YA/NA guys/men have a hard and raw personality and a soft and mushy inside, It's a cliche thing really, you can read about it everywhere, and I admit that yes, it does become quite predictable. It's like the authors don't know what other way they should write in. Anyway, the thing with Rush, the Male character in this book was that he was a real DOUCHE-BAG in the first scene!

He was this all time player and then all of a sudden he was like oh no your too good for me and I'm like what? Are you kidding me on some level like seriously? And to be honest I don't even understand why she wanted someone like him. They didn't really spend time with each other like people who likes each-other do,  so beside the fact that they were both hot, I don't know why they were attracted to another. 

B U T
The book got better, Abbi Glines irritated me occasionally but there were parts that I enjoyed, and that ending was a really unexpected, It was a brave ending indeed, a cliffhanger of a sort that makes you wan't to read the second one right away, but I really don't know... This is the third book I've ever read written by Abbi Glines, Existence and the Vincent Boys are the two books I've read by her before but the question Im asking myself is, Should I bother reading the second one in this trilogy?

This Girl (Slammed #3) REVIEW +

By Colleen Hoover

Kindle Edition, 304 pages

Published April 30th 2013 by Atria Books

There are two sides to every love story. Now hear Will’s.

Layken and Will’s love has managed to withstand the toughest of circumstances and the young lovers, now married, are beginning to feel safe and secure in their union. As much as Layken relishes their new life together, she finds herself wanting to know everything there is to know about her husband, even though Will makes it clear he prefers to keep the painful memories of the past where they belong. Still, he can’t resist his wife’s pleas and so he begins to untangle his side of the story, revealing for the first time his most intimate feelings and thoughts, retelling both the good and bad moments, and sharing a few shocking confessions of his own from the time when they first met.

To be honest, I didn't even think I would finish this book.
This book contained everything that we had in the first Slammed book but from Will's POV, I do not know why I even read this one because Í was not the biggest fan of the previous 2 books..
And this book turned out to be just as boring. 
Let me explain why I found the book boring
1. I knew what would happen in the end of almost every chapter.
2. I found some things hard to believe
3. the characters were just not likeable except for the kids.
I didn't even think that I would finish this book but I ended up finishing it to my own surprise...

Easy - what a surprise! REVIEW +

By Tammara Webber

Paperback, 310 pages

Published November 6th 2012 by Berkley Trade 

 Rescued by a stranger.

Haunted by a secret
Sometimes, love isn’t easy…

He watched her, but never knew her. Until thanks to a chance encounter, he became her savior…

The attraction between them was undeniable. Yet the past he’d worked so hard to overcome, and the future she’d put so much faith in, threatened to tear them apart.

Only together could they fight the pain and guilt, face the truth—and find the unexpected power of love.

A groundbreaking novel in the New Adult genre, Easy faces one girl's struggle to regain the trust she's lost, find the inner strength to fight back against an attacker, and accept the peace she finds in the arms of a secretive boy.

Easy By Tammara Webber   Read this book in a single sitting, up in the air, on an airplane. It’s a cliché story, girl meets ”bad boy” and falls in love. But why am I willing to give a cliché story a 4, 5/5? Every single teenage romance book of this kind is just something you read for fun; the story doesn’t affect you that much. And the book does not seem to have a meaning. 

But this book, this book tackled a subject a lot of girls around the world and boys have to deal with every single minute. Being raped. The first thing that happens in the book is that the main character Jackie is on the verge of being raped by one of her boyfriend’s friends. This ends quite badly and we get to follow how the society looks at you after something like that. 

This story could easily be passed for a true story in my opinion because Webber succeeded in painting up our society’s twisted view of how “we” see rapists and the people being raped. I remember one girl asking another girl who had been raped in the book “but you are not even a virgin, so why should be it be such a huge deal?” I got so furious, but after a second consideration, I decided that some people would look at it that way. Lucas is the “bad boy” but to be honest he is nothing like a bad boy, they just call him that occasionally. But he was other things indeed, he was smart, caring, and he was a lover. When he loved someone he loved deeply, and he knew that love could break you. In my eyes he was just a vulnerable teenager who covered it up with a tough appearance. To sum things up, I really like the ending, because the book started the way it ended, and that for me just showed how much Jackie had grown as a person. That was sort of the time were you just laid the book down and reflected.

beaches, ocean, sun kissed leg's, friends... perfect summer books

the summer is here, at least for me! And since I live in Sweden and we get our summer super late I guess you guys also have gotten a feel on the summer. I have been laying on the balcony sunbathing ( not to get tan thou, I just really like the sun) and enjoying myself with a book and lemonade. Summer break is almost here for me. I know some of you guys already have summer break (lucky you...) and who know, maybe you are going on a road trip, vacation, maybe you are going to baby sit or just be at home and hang out with friends and read! whatever you do there is always time to escape in a book. That's why I searched up my most appriciated summer reads! all of these books are easy fun and heart warming, and it isn't too deep to make you forget all about your summer break and make you sit at home and read all day long hehe.
Down below are some of my favorite summer reads. they are all worth taking a look at. Maybe you have a book tip for me? comment below! :)

House Rules

By Jodi Picoult

Hardcover, 532 pages

Published March 2nd 2010 by Atria Books

When your son can't look you in the eye...does that mean he's guilty?
Jacob Hunt is a teen with Asperger's syndrome. He's hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, though he is brilliant in many ways. But he has a special focus on one subject - forensic analysis. A police scanner in his room clues him in to crime scenes, and he's always showing up and telling the cops what to do. And he's usually right.
But when Jacob's small hometown is rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob's behaviors are hallmark Asperger's, but they look a lot like guilt to the local police. Suddenly the Hunt family, who only want to fit in, are directly in the spotlight. For Jacob's mother, Emma, it's a brutal reminder of the intolerance and misunderstanding that always threaten her family. For his brother, Theo, it's another indication why nothing is normal because of Jacob.
And over this small family, the soul-searing question looms: Did Jacob commit murder?

This book was very special. I haven't read a mystery book since I was 13, and they hardly even count. Jacob was a very unpredictable character, you never knew what he would do until he did it. His mother had struggled his whole life with trying to give him everything that he desired, and to do that she had to give away her life too. 

this book was told from five people's point of view and it somehow worked. The book contained so many small details that one sidestep would have lead to a disaster with all the different minds. in the beginning I didn't see why we got to read from some peoples pov, like Oliver, but all these five peoples life's got connected at some point to the end. And talking about the end

What on earth was that!? are you kidding me, the book ended, like really ended with a effing CLIFFHANGER? there isn't even a follow up book!

I give this book a strong 3,5 / 5

I really liked her way of writing, and I liked hr characters, but she could have used less examples in her book, for an example "Jacob looked at me the way h used to look at me when he was twelve and we would sit under the cherry tree and he would look at me and say that cherry trees aren't really trees..." etc, u get the point (that wasn't a citation from the book)

and the big mystery in the book wasn't really a mystery to me when they revealed it at the end, I had the whole thing figured out 250 pages ago.

The Vincent Boys (The Vincent Boys #1) REVIEW

by Abbie Glines
Ashton is getting tired of being good, of impressing her parents and playing ideal girlfriend to Sawyer Vincent. Sawyer is perfect, a regular Prince Charming, but when he leaves town for the summer, it’s his cousin Beau who catches Ashton’s eye. Beau is the sexiest guy she’s ever seen, and even though he’s dangerous, Ashton is drawn to him.

Beau loves his cousin like a brother, so the last thing he wants to do is make a move on Sawyer’s girl. Ashton is off-limits, absolutely. That’s why he does his best to keep his distance, even though he’s been in love with her forever. When Ashton wants to rekindle their childhood friendship in Sawyer’s absence, Beau knows he should say no.

Ashton and Beau don’t want to hurt Sawyer. But the more they try to stay away from each other, the more intense their urges become. It’s getting way too hard to resist....

a sweet summer read (although i read this in bed with a red nose and a fever)it was cute, everything about this book was just cute. a bit of a cliché maybe but I liked it, I liked the characters, or i mean, they were okay, they reminded me of the characters from a walk to remember for some reason...

Dare to you
Katie McGarry

Hardcover, 462 pages

Expected publication: May 28th 2013 by Harlequin Teen

Ryan lowers his lips to my ear. "Dance with me, Beth."

"No." I whisper the reply. I hate him and I hate myself for wanting him to touch me again....

"I dare you..."

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all....

Harlequin sent me this book so Im pumped to read this when I get time!

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

Of Poseidon #1 review 

http://teenbookalover.blogspot.se/2013/01/of-poseidon-review.html

In this sequel to OF POSEIDON, Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: As a Half-Breed, she’s a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm below. Syrena law states that all Half- Breeds should be put to death.

As if that’s not bad enough, her mother’s reappearance among the Syrena turns the two kingdoms—Poseidon and Triton—against one another. Which leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen’s request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself—and her Gift—to save a people she’s never known?


EERGMAIGAAAAAD, I wan't this book so bad, and I wan't it now!!

some great books coming out this month!

the sun is at it's best so I can not wait to just take my bycicle and go somewhere far far away, away from everything and just read. That is probably one of the best things I like to do...

The Selection (The Selection #1)

By Kiera Cass

Hardcover, 327 pages

Published April 24th 2012 by HarperTeen

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself--and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

I never thought I would finish a book about a prince searching for his princess at the age 17. but I did. and It was goooood. 

America Singer. What an amazing name. America didn’t even want to compete, but she did because the love of her life told her to.

America isn’t competing for Maxom’s love; she is not even competing for the crown. All she wants’ to do is stay in the competition long enough so that her family can get some money. She doesn’t like Maxom that way, she doesn’t like him at all, but when she gets to meet him she wonders, what if she’s been getting a twisted look at the prince?

What I liked with this book was that America was in love with a boy names Aspen. Really deeply in love. Every book I read has this instalove, which can be frustrated, because IRL it doesn’t always work like that. Just because she meet’s another friendly guy she does not loose feelings for Aspen like BAM, she is a very realistic character, a very smart one too.

At first Aspen seemed like a great guy, but I hated the fact that he was such a man man, he wanted to be the one providing for HER, even thou she was the one with the money at that point, and that he was willing to take such a irrational decision because of that.

Maxom is a character I can’t quite put a word on. He got this mystic around him, his actions can be quite unpredictable at times, but he is at the same time a sweet guy. In the next book I would like to see some more of his relaxed side, he can be quite stiff.

This book wasn’t so dark for being a dystopia; this is a great dystopia book to start off with!
