Landline by Rainbow Rowell

Synopsis:

Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble. That it’s been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems besides the point now.

Maybe that was always besides the point.

Two days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and something’s come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her — Neal is always a little upset with Georgie — but she doesn’t expect to him to pack up the kids and go home without her.

When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she’s finally done it. If she’s ruined everything.

That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It’s not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she’s been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts . . .

Is that what she’s supposed to do?

Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?

Review:

okay so this book was pretty much all I expected. It was funny, it was sweet, it was lovable, you wanted to hug it and most of the book was like a tween book. Georgie told the story of her and Neal in college, and how they met, and how he proposed to her. And it was so pretty, it was just so well written and you couldn't help but love their story, to love every moment they spend together.
Although I was sort of mad at some points when it said how Neal was, he was just like a robot and you couldn't tell what the hell was happening in his mind. It was sort of irritating.
BEST PART EVER was the magic phone and WHEN WE FIND OUT THAT GEORGIE WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE PHONE CALLS TO THE PAST, I was so excited to know that it was like back to the future kind of thing. I LOVE IT, it was so magical and so sweet and with just the kind of drama that I  love.

I give this book about 4.5 stars just because I love Eleanor & Park, and Fangirl, a little more than Attachments, and Landline.

AND I was freaking out when we get a little update in one of the couples from the previous novels. OH GOD. It was freaking awesome and I was pretty much screaming. Though it was the middle of the night so I couldn't really do it but whatever.

LOVED LANDLINE AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO SAY
GO CHECK IT OUT!

One True Thing by Lynne Jaymes

Synopsis

“That was all before…” Jenna waves her hand in the air, but we both know what she means. Before I touched her in the most intimate places. Before I felt her shudder under my tongue. Before she tasted the salt on my skin. Before I promised a lot more than I could deliver.

Ty Branch has wanted one thing his entire life—to play professional baseball. When he gets a chance to move from San Francisco to play at Texas powerhouse Garvin State University, he's willing to do whatever it takes to make his dream come true, even if that means hiding his past. But when he meets dance major Jenna Taylor, the chemistry is so strong his single-minded quest begins to weaken. As he gets to know her quirky, small-town family, he falls more deeply
in love, but becomes even more sure he can never tell her the truth about his family.

When a surprise visitor blows his past wide-open, Ty is forced to come to terms with his secrets. But is the damage already done with Jolene or can he find a way to sacrifice everything he's worked for in order to win back the heart of a once-in-a-lifetime love.

Review

Okay so I was expecting a lot more of this book due to the thing above. It sounds so intriguing because there is a "lie" and hidden secret, and so fort the "visitor blows his past wide-open" you sort of expect this to be something huge, not what it actually is.
Probably I live in a state that discrimination is not a huge thing although it is because it's Nebraska and all that but I have never encounter someone that says because you are black or Latino you cannot be in this sport. I think that the secret was overblown to an extend that tricks the reader. I was very disappointed by this, I was just disappointed. The story was sort of good, it was all too fast for me, they don't even play the interesting part of getting to be on a date. They just happen to be friends with the right people so they meet at some random place and then they go home and almost have sex. I was screaming COME ON, seriously?
This was probably not my kind of book though I was very excited to read it and it was disappointing.
But it might be the book for you, you just have to check it out, it's short and you can do it within a day.
So yeah I was so expecting more of this book but probably was not in the mood to read it and that is what cause me to not like it.

I would give it a 2.5 stars just because the excerpt kind of fools you and I didn't get what I was expecting. It had potential but it didn't do it for me.

Immortal City by Scott Speer

Synopsis:

Jackson Godspeed is the hottest young Angel in a city that revolves around idolizing Immortals like him. He grew up in the spotlight, and in less than a week, he'll become the youngest full-fledged Guardian ever. People around the world are lining up to pay for him to keep them safe. His lifelong dream of becoming a hero is finally within his grasp--and he can't afford to let the parties, paparazzi, or red carpets distract him.

But Jackson's high-profile life takes an unexpected turn when he meets seventeen-year-old Maddy. She's smart and down-to-earth, and sees Jackson for who he is and not for his celebrity. They forge an instant--and electric--connection. Their vastly different backgrounds seem like the only obstacle in their path of being together...until something much more dangerous threatens to destroy their chance at love.

Because not everyone worships the Angels: a bitter killer is murdering the Guardians one by one. And it's up to Maddy to save Jackson--he's next in the killer's sights.

Review:

This book was really amazing. I definitely enjoyed every bit of it. I loved that it wasn't from a single point of view and it was told in third person. We got to experience every little detail that was happening in the story and not just a one side part.
The only thing I would say was a bit, odd was how the "love" story developed. Jacks and Maddy don't really get to develop this love because everything happens too quickly and it doesn't really describe that it was love at first sight, at least not from Maddy's side because for Jackson I think it kind of says it is.
But the story line is amazing, is a world that enchants instantly, I mean, who wouldn't love to live in a city were things like angels are real, this side of angle story telling is so awesome and it shows that not only women can write amazing male characters that enchants us with their charm.
I specially loved the second to the last chapter, when all shit goes down and we figure out who is killing the angles and ripping their wings. Another detail that I also loved is that Maddy can sort of see the future, right there you know something is going on.
This story is definitely worth reading. I give it a 4.5 stars because it was awesome.
