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.

I didn't love this book to be honest I felt bored reading it because there wasnt anything interesting a lot apart from the whole twitter drama and I wanted it to be more punchy, I found the writing style to be quite cringe and slow reading and I didn't have any connection for anyone in the book at all maybe apart from Jack I did, I found him to be quite a dorky cutie to read about anyway I ...

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...
