Dear Aaron

Product Information

Half the time I wanted to reach into the book and slap-senseless the heroine. Call me heartless but the more the story progressed, the less empathy I felt for her. In the end, I just saw her as a naïve, clueless eternal child-woman suffering from the martyr complex. Take a shot for every time you see the word sighs (seventy four), blink (ninety one), boss (one hundred fifty eight), smile ( two hundred seventy four).. yeah, eventually I stopped word searching. Also thank goodness I wasn't drinking or I would be dead. I do trust you though. I think if someone tried to take me, you’d at least fight them for me a little…” I watched his face for a moment before narrowing my eyes. “Wouldn’t you?”

She is one of the most mature h I've ever read and even though I wanna beat the shit outta the ppl who treated her like dirt (yes, even some of her sisters) she STILL rises above them in a way that shows how understanding and patient she is. Like GIRL. She's a good person-no, the BEST person- because she doesn't want to treat people the way she was treated her whole childhood. She knows the feeling of being unwanted and unloved and she doesn't want to spread that kind of negativity to EVERYONE, even those who wronged her. of the book was REALLY, REALLY awesome, 80% just ok. And just to point it out – this is my opinion, I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority here, which I’m happy to be. She deserves all your love – because she still has mine.

Diaries & Calendars

I froze. I blinked and I swallowed as a I said, almost woodenly, attempting to ignore the familiarity of what come out of his mouth. “I’m only trying to be your friend.” Screw it, I’m DNFing this because GOOD GOD, is this shit boring and repetitive. I’ve struggled with Zapata’s writing before and how she tends to repeat the most random, minuscule details over and over and over again but I don’t think it has ever been this bad. like how dumb can you be??? like honestly at this point i was ready to go to sleep after reading this book up until six am. this was the biggest flop and worst book i’ve lost sleep over and that says a lot!! ive stayed up reading so many trashy books but at least i expected it from them!! Mariana Zapata a lassúégésű szerelmi történetek koronázatlan királynője, ami itt is megmutatkozik. Tetszett, ahogy szereplőink fokozatosan, teljes tapintattal és kicsit talán félve tették meg azokat a bizonyos lépéseket a másik megismerése felé. Az egyik legigazabbnak és legőszintébbnek mondható romantikus történet, amit eddig olvastam, hiszen a karakterek anélkül szeretnek egymásba, hogy valaha is találkoztak volna. Az első, amit „meglátnak” az a másik lelke, a belső értékei, a lénye, nem a felszínes dolgok, amik oly sokszor elvakítják az embert. MZ is really good with all these subtle hints that make the readers KNOW that the H is in love with the h even though the h is like huh, what? He's in love with me? Nahhhh bish.

Their love is so pure and so beautiful that by the end of the book I couldn’t help but swoon right into a puddle of goo. They become more and more adorable and they are perfect for each other and honestly, this book is going to end up being re-read by me at least once. It’s easily one of the best slow-burn romances I’ve ever read. You’re trying to be my friend? Be my friend by giving me some space before I say or do something I’ll end up regretting later. Give me some space so that later on I don’t have to feel bad for making you feel bad.”From start to finish I tried very hard to like Rip, but I just could not do it. He tried very hard to impress Luna (and in turn me) but his tries always fell short on my scale. I did not find the chemistry (if they had any) between Luna and him interesting. The affection that I associate with Zapata couples was missing here. At times their interaction felt forced. One moment he was angry with her and the next moment he was confessing his love for her. Okay okay, I've been trying to avoid making the review but I guess I have to come out of hiding now Life was a gift—sometimes one you wanted to return, and other times one you’d want to keep forever, but it was still a gift." I know what she is capable of, and this is it. All Rhodes Lead here is still my favorite book she has ever written, but this one also has a special place in my heart now.

Aaron gave me that soft smile that made me feel like my insides were on fire. Then he winked. “I don’t know much about crocodiles, but I know all about alligators,” he offered. “Did you know there are only two species left in the world?” I'm not a bad person. Some might call me even compassionate! *cough cough* However, Ruby did not endear me in anyway to her predicament. Mostly because she spoke like a fourteen year old girl. But then when they finally met up it was magic and I loved it. All of the stolen glances, all of the obsessing over the other was so magical and I know it's a slowburn but maybe meeting up sooner could have been a bit better in my opinion. Her past comes to trouble her but she has the H by her side now. They face the difficulties together and fall in love. The end. as it's usual with MZ, this was the slowest burn of all the burns, so the characters only get together at the very end. i'm still not a big fan of books ending basically the moment the characters get together, but since i'm familiar with this author by now, it was expected and didn't bother me too much.

Did friends do that? Kiss each other sometimes to make the other person feel better? Yeah. Yeah, they did… Now a little bit about the actual book. Unfortunately, Ruby isn’t my favorite type of female to read about because her insecurities began to annoy me as time progressed. I wanted to love her because in some ways her story was parallel to mine (age wise, flying across the country to meet someone you’ve only exchanged messages with, etc) but her constant unsureness of herself made me start to lose the warm fuzzy feelings towards her. A teenager who doesn't know anything, really. I get that it's 2008 when she starts writing to Aaron, but the internet existed then, did it not? Women in 2009 acted quite a bit like today did they not?
