So this was the first book I read from my favorite author, the beautiful Colleen Hoover.
Jesus Christ guys. This book is so crazy it's so good.
There's a lot of drama, love and hope. It has everything its needs to be the perfect book. You cry and laugh so much.
Here is a brief review:
"Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.
Can Ben’s relationship with Fallon—and simultaneously his novel—be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?"

We were liars.
by: E. Lockhart
Okay, this book was intense. At first you are so confused that you think your head is going to explode.
I think the best part of this book is the end. It's so raw that you end up crying. If you want to read this book, you really need to be mentally prepared and read it calmly.
Note: The language may be a little bit confusing, but I think that makes this book magical, it seems poetic
Here is a brief review:
"A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth."

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
This book was so damn cute. I really loved it. Teaches the value of friendship and first love.
While you're reading this book the only thing you want is love to win and everyone is happy.
If you need a book to believe in love and say "aaawww" countless times, then this is the right book.
Here is a brief review:
"Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be."

Regretting You
by: Colleen Hoover
Soooo spoiler alert!
I´m a really big fan of Collen, so all her books will be here, please don´t hate me and love her as much as I do :)
THIS BOOK!
OMG
It's so perfect, like there is so much drama so many turn of events. What I love most about this book is that there are 2 POVs, mom and daughter. The mother tells from the past and the present, but it is written incredibly well that you never get confused. You get to love the characters so much that you want to hug them and not let anything bad happen to them. I really really recommend this book, believe me, you will not regret it.
Note: Miller is the best guy in the whole world.
Here is a brief review:
"Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing a like.
Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn’t have a spontaneous bone in her body.
With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris—Morgan’s husband, Clara’s father, and the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long-lasting consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara.
While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan finds comfort in the last person she expects to, and Clara turns to the one boy she’s been forbidden to see. With each passing day, new secrets, resentment, and misunderstandings make mother and daughter fall further apart. So far apart, it might be impossible for them to ever fall back together."

The summer I turned pretty
by : Jenny Han
So if you are looking for a summer read, this is the book you were looking for. I'm not usually a fan of love triangles because my heart can only love one character, but this book made me love both boys. This book leaves you sighing in love and it's so damn cute.
It is a trilogy and it is absolutely worth reading all 3 of them
Note: There was a bit of tears so keep a box of kleenex on hand.
Here is a brief review:
"When each summer begins, Belly leaves her school life behind and escapes to Cousins Beach, the place she has spent every summer of her life. Not only does the beach house mean home away from home, but her favorite people are there: Susannah, her mother's best friend, and her sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. Belly has been chasing Conrad for as long as she can remember, and more than anything, she hopes this summer will be different. Despite distractions from a new guy named Cam and lingering looks from Conrad's brother, Jeremiah, Belly's heart belongs to Conrad. Will he offer his to her? Will this be the summer that changes everything?"

Wish you were here
by : Renée Carlino
You really need to know that I am very sensitive and I cry a lot, so please don't judge me and cry with me.
At first, when you read it, the only thing you think is "What the fuck?" and "WHY??"
But as you reach deeper into the story you begin to comprehend everything, and your heart screams for you to stop and let it feel happiness, for you to end the suffering that is causing your heartbreak.
I think the magic of this book is the end, although it leaves you with a broken heart, it still manages to leave you with a sense of satisfaction and joy.
Note: Please give Seth a chance.
Here is a brief review:
"Charlotte has spent her twenties adrift, floating from interest to interest, job to job, and guy to guy, searching for a spark but never quite finding it. All she knows is that she won’t discover it working as a waitress at a pies-and-fries joint in Los Angeles or living with her fun but aimless best friend in a tiny apartment in the Arts District.
Then Charlotte collides with Adam, a gorgeous and soulful painter who seems just as lost as she feels. Their instant connection turns into a midnight drink… and a whirlwind night of champagne, Chinese food, and the kind of conversation that only happens in romantic comedies. But the next morning, Adam gives Charlotte the cold shoulder, leaving her confused and hurt—and wondering if the few odd moments between them the night before were red flags in disguise.
Months later, Charlotte hasn’t been able to shake Adam, so she decides to find out what happened the morning after their magical night together. This fateful decision rewrites their wild love story, but what Charlotte doesn’t know yet is that the ending has already been written"

10 Blind Dates
This book is one of my favorites because it made me laugh a lot. Made me want to be part of Sophie's family because they are hilarious.
What I liked was that Sophie is not dramatic about her breakup with Griffin and sees the positive side.
I also like that she enjoys the dates her family organizes for her.
The dates are so random that you end up laughing a lot.
Note: This book leaves you wanting to download Tinder, pick a random guy and go on a date with him to see what happens.
Here is a brief review:
"Sophie wants one thing for Christmas-a little freedom from her overprotective parents. So when they decide to spend Christmas in South Louisiana with her very pregnant older sister, Sophie is looking forward to some much needed private (read: make-out) time with her long-term boyfriend, Griffin. Except it turns out that Griffin wants a little freedom from their relationship. Cue devastation.
Heartbroken, Sophie flees to her grandparents' house, where the rest of her boisterous extended family is gathered for the holiday. That's when her nonna devises a (not so) brilliant plan: Over the next ten days, Sophie will be set up on ten different blind dates by different family members. Like her sweet cousin Sara, who sets her up with a hot guy at an exclusive underground party. Or her crazy aunt Patrice, who signs Sophie up for a lead role in a living nativity. With a boy who barely reaches her shoulder. And a screaming baby.
When Griffin turns up unexpectedly and begs for a second chance, Sophie feels more confused than ever. Because maybe, just maybe, she's started to have feelings for someone else . . . Someone who is definitely not available.
This is going to be the worst Christmas break ever... or is it?"

It ends with us
by : Colleen Hoover
When I started reading the first chapters, I thought it would be a romantic book without suffering and that everyone would be happy.
I was wrong.
So many unexpected things happen that leave you in shock.
In this book, Lily narrates in 2 different POVs, one in the past, where she meets her first love and the other, where she meets Riley and recounts what's happening in their relationship. You fall in love with the 2 men, but in the end it is very obvious to decide who to stay with.
It is an intense and strong book, so I do not recommend it in case you want a relaxed and fun book.
If you are looking for a book that leaves a mark on your heart and makes you feel many emotions at once, this is more than the right one.
Note: At the end of the book you are going to love one so much and hate the other, so don't fall in love with either one until the end.
Here is a brief review:
"Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up
— she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.
Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.
As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan — her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened"

Swear on This Life.
by: Renee Carlino
coming soon...
Here is a brief review:
"When a bestselling debut novel from mysterious author J.Colby becomes the literary event of the year, Emiline reads it reluctantly. As an adjunct writing instructor at UC San Diego with her own stalled literary career and a bumpy long-term relationship, Emiline isn’t thrilled to celebrate the accomplishments of a young and gifted writer.
Yet from the very first page, Emiline is entranced by the story of Emerson and Jackson, two childhood best friends who fall in love and dream of a better life beyond the long dirt road that winds through their impoverished town in rural Ohio.
That’s because the novel is patterned on Emiline’s own dark and desperate childhood, which means that “J. Colby” must be Jase: the best friend and first love she hasn’t seen in over a decade. Far from being flattered that he wrote the novel from her perspective, Emiline is furious that he co-opted her painful past and took some dramatic creative liberties with the ending.
The only way she can put her mind at ease is to find and confront “J. Colby,” but is she prepared to learn the truth behind the fiction?"

Ugly Love.
by : Colleen Hoover.
coming soon...
Here is a brief review:
"When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.
Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future.
They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.
Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly."

Better off Friends.
by: Elizabeth Eulberg.
coming soon...
Here is a brief review:
"For Macallan and Levi, it was friends at first sight. Everyone says guys and girls can’t be just friends, but these two are. They hang out after school, share tons of inside jokes, their families are super close, and Levi even starts dating one of Macallan’s friends. They are platonic and happy that way.
Eventually they realize they’re best friends — which wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t keep getting in each other’s way. Guys won’t ask Macallan out because they think she’s with Levi, and Levi spends too much time joking around with Macallan, and maybe not enough time with his date. They can’t help but wonder . . . are they more than friends or are they better off without making it even more complicated?"

Before We Were Strangers.
by: Renee Carlino.
coming soon...
Here is a brief review:
"To the Green-eyed Lovebird:
We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.
You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.
We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.
Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding…
I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello.
After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?

"And there’s still so much to look forward to: a class trip to New York City, prom with her boyfriend Peter, Beach Week after graduation, and her dad’s wedding to Ms. Rothschild. Then she’ll be off to college with Peter, at a school close enough for her to come home and bake chocolate chip cookies on the weekends.
Life couldn’t be more perfect!
At least, that’s what Lara Jean thinks . . . until she gets some unexpected news.
Now the girl who dreads change must rethink all her plans—but when your heart and your head are saying two different things, which one should you listen to?"
