138 - perfect chemistry

goodreads / wattpad / instagram

hey hey!

i've still not done a wrap up and a book haul 'cause i'm busy finishing up reading my library books 'cause their due date is next week. sorry.

fortunately, i'm halfway done with the last book i borrowed. so it's five out of five books i've read of them i got. so proud,

i finished up with reading ten tiny breaths and it was enjoyable to me, although i did already guess the big secret thing pretty much as soon as the male character came into the story which was a bit disappointing to me. i would've liked a bit more of the angst in it and our main gal gave in way too quickly, or it just was written to go this quickly. i don't know. anyhow - four out of five stars. a notch down 'cause the main gal was annoying and egoistic from time to time.

i started and finished reading perfect chemistry by simone elkeles pretty much in one day. it was really good to me. first off - it's the first diverse book i've read in a while that's partially new adult.
          our main character brittany ellis is the girl that everybody thinks has it all - she's the high school sweetheart, the captain of the pom team, she's rich, she has the perfect boyfriend and lives in a giant house. what else could you want in life? that's where everyone who thinks that, is wrong. she struggles to keep her relationship with her parents, her boyfriend, her friends and her sister as it is because that's just how it has always been for her. she keeps her reputation up for the sake of her parents.
          life isn't easy for alex fuentes either. he's the man in his family of four - his mother and two little brothers. he's in a dangerous gang called latin blood where he isn't really doing all the super 'dangerous' things just yet. he goes to school and tries to keep his life as normal as he can, while everyone besides his friends at school think of him as a freak, a lowerclassman.
          the two of our main characters are paired up for the next year of chemistry class and a series of mishaps occur. things get tough and feelings get involved, but the two can't seem to get out of each other's minds.

five out of five. this was brilliant to me. i am kind of in need of my own copy of this and the rest of the books but i'm not getting them, no worries. i'm cutting down my book buying right now by a ton.:)

currently i'm reading breathe by abbi glines which is the first book in the sea breeze series. this tells the story of sadie and jax whose lives are so very different from each other.
          sadie, as a seventeen-year old, has to be the mother of her house as her own mother is pregnant with a baby and, well, she isn't the most responsible person out there. therefore, sadie has to take over her job as a housekeeper at a prestigious private land in sea breeze, alabama. under the tough eyes of the stone family, she tries her best to keep her job as they normally don't hire underaged people.
          jax stone is a teenage heartthrob of a rock star. he's on the walls of teenage girls all over the world and he spends eighty five per cent of his time on tour. he rarely ever has free time, so he has a summer off at his private mansion with his family. he wants no responsibilities and no girls for the summer - he just wants to relax.
          jax and sadie meet when sadie has to deliver food for him and his mother, and the two instantly click. they find each other interesting, and jax feels more drawn to sadie because she could honestly care less for his image and popularity, and to him, she's a hard-working and way mature girl for her age.
          things don't come easy for either of them as they only want their relationship to be only a summer thing, especially as another man has eyes for the only girl jax has ever thought about giving his heart to.

so far, it's been quite the ride. i'm liking it but so far it's more of a four-star book and it's just a breeze to read through. i'm halfway done and plan to finish it and i promise to give you my thoughts when i finish it.

today's song choice is martin garrix and bebe rexha's 'in the name of love'.

until next time
