This review is only  my opinion , and you may have your own, different one. I would take into consideration what I say, but do not make a decision about the book solely based off of this review. Let's begin:     This will be a fairly short review as I do not have much to say. Everything from my past two reviews still stands with the exception of one criticism that I did not have previously.     Sadly,...

    Lara Jean has actually fallen for Peter Kavinsky. They were just supposed to be pretending. Well, up until they point they weren't anymore.

This review is only  my opinion , and you may have your own, different one. I would take into consideration what I say, but do not make a decision about the book solely based off of this review. Let's begin:     Once again, the characters are what made this book feel different and special. They are all very enjoyable and well written. Perhaps most importantly, they still feel real. I mentioned this when reviewing the first book, and I am pleased to be able to say it ag...

In this canticle, Dante must travel through the nine circles of Hell with his guide, Virgil, and renounce sin.      Keep in mind that everyone has their own opinion. This review is only  my opinion , and you may have your own, different one. I would take into consideration what I say, but do not make a decision about the book solely based off of this review. Let's begin:     I was required to read this book for my English class, and I think it is the first book I was forced to read that I was genuinely excited about and that I ended up actually liking (sorry to all the fans of The Great Gatsby ). My teacher from last year discussed it even though she was not supposed to at the time. I am not sure if her excitement over it was contagious or if...
