The Way I Used To Be Book Review


I'll leave some Trigger Warning *Sex, Drugs, Rape, Slut Shaming* I wouldn't recommend this book for younger readers!
We follow the story of Eden a fourteen year old school girl who explains her journey in four parts of being a victim raped by her brother's best friend Eden has always been a good girl who her parents knew her by but once she gets into sophomore and Junior to Senior year to change her persona which leads Eden into trouble because all the guys she hanged out with she lied she was eighteen but legally she underage and loved this boy called Josh who was way older then her he was shocked to find out she was fourteen because Eden lies and hides who she is to escape by drinking and smoking with her best friend Mara, the life for Eden at home was her struggle since no being around her brother Caelin and ends up feeling like an only child.

 Wow is all I can say for this book because it is quite a raw and strong read also quite sad I enjoyed seeing Eden's life in four parts it expresses how much things feel to her and how she could be a risk one thing I didn't like about her was all the lying she made because once the truth was admitted you can't lie anymore but I'm glad in the end she spoke out to her brother about what happened maybe it'll change how everything will turn out they'll be some shock to everyone but it better than later and I really loved this book despite the deep topic I connected to Eden's voice quite a lot.

The Idea Of Tommy & Daniel

Hello Everyone welcome back to another blog post! Today post is actually a special one since "The Step Love" turns one year today and I asked everyone what plans I should do and by the way I loved the answers from bookstagram but I decided maybe I talk about how Tommy and Daniel came to reality for me to talk about them all the time to you guys. I remember it was 2015 and I was sitting in my room thinking of what else to write then this boy appeared into my mind and I thought about it twice then I saw another boy came as his brother then that's where I saw a Tommy and his little brother Daniel, then I started to see a boy and a girl forming something together and that's how Sarah and Tommy came then other more people plus Harriet too and the ideas for making Tommy and Daniel are not really my strength or anything, I think God knew I was an author since I was writing The Little Bear Stories and I wrote The Last Day Of School Term in 2010 then I took a long hiatus...

Not Like Other Girls Book Review

  This book was so good I just finished it now and I don't have words to capture everything I'm still speechless from it all... we follow seventeen year of Jo Kirby who was a popular girl when her life got turned upside down and all the boys she was friends with hated her even girls like her own self can't stand her until Jo's ex best friend Maddie goes missing she wants to find out what happned to her and how she got to disappear Jo discovers secrets, pain and aches in her seeking even having a boyfriend called Hudson who stood by her side to help her solve what was going on and it all does a turn over from there. I really liked Jo as a character and I saw a lot of Pip from a good girl's guide to murder in her and the way she was firece and wild made me root for her throughout the book and I loved the relationship she had with Hudson and how I found them both adorable and all the only thing is that the themes were a little wild that I wouldn't recommend this fo...
