Illusions of Happiness

By
This poem is dedicated to Selena for liking it so much.

Prodigal child,
Perfect girl,
Tell me why you fear the world.
Inferior child,
Incubus boy,
Tell me how you find your joy.
Meek adult,
Modest man,
Tell me who stole your lifespan.
Selfish adult,
Sinful woman,
Tell me when you will become human.
Each person is in the midst,
Of their own cruel world
That they made exist.

M.M.

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* This book is the perfect summer read! It is a light and fluffy romance read that is sure to hook you, I couldn’t put it down! This book was fun and kept a smile on my face. I loved the concept of the book and it was interesting to see where the author took the story. There was so many things she could have done with the plot and I’m glad she wrote it the way she did. I didn’t find myself thinking that I wanted to change anything while I read this book. Although the whole book wasn’t strictly upbeat and romantic the author wrote it to where you got just enough of the bad within the good. For example, pointing out certain problems teens face in society, such as ridicule from peers and the pressures of everyday life. In addition to the love our main character shares with guys, there is also a strong bond and love between friends. Even though this book is about romantic relationships the author also makes it clear that sometimes all the love you...

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* It was an absolute delight to read about this grumpy old man that deep down has a big heart. After reading My grandmother asked me to tell you she’s sorry I just knew I had to pick this one up. I was not disappointed at all! Ove is so endearing in his own way that it is hard not to enjoy his story. I thought the author was so creative with this story and I loved how everything tied together neatly in the end. This book was as funny as it was heartwarming, in my reading log I gave it 5 hearts! (Like the star system but with hearts for how much I loved it). I kept trying to predict what would happen and it kept throwing me in a completely different direction. The characters in this book were so relatable, and the book so immersive, that I forgot these people weren’t my actual neighbors. This book had such a strong message about the benefits and the power of community. I almost all out bawled while reading parts of this book, not becau...

One of Us is Lying by Karen M McManus

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* One of us is lying is a mixture of murder mystery and inspiration from the breakfast club. Upon finishing this book, I sat here staring at my screen debating about what I could say about this book, because I felt that it was an alright read. In my opinion, this book is way over hyped but that hype was one of the reasons I kept reading. Yes, I liked the romance and the friendships made in this book, but that isn’t what the story is about. I felt that the suspense was a little too drawn out and it made me excited to finish so I could figure it out and be done with it. And then when I did finally get to the big reveal, I felt as if it fell a little short. I was expecting it to be a huge “ah-ha” moment but it was just glossed over and moved on to the next piece of the puzzle. I think it had a lot of drama that I could have done without, even if it did make sense with the story. I really was expecting to love this book, but I thought it ...
