    He was tall, at least six feet, with dirty blond hair that hung over his eyes. His T-shirt read Nietzsche Is My Homeboy. So, that was Matt. Who Julie Seagles likes. A lot. But there is also Finn. Who she flat out loves. Complicated? Awkward? Completely. But really, how was this freshly-minted Boston transplant and newbie college freshman supposed to know that she would end up living with the family of an old friend of her mother’s? This was all supposed to be temporary.

    not exactly what i was expecting when i read the blurb of the book. I knew what was going on very early on in the book but still didn't make me like it any less. I loved the characters (especially celeste) I loved all the quirkiness. Made me laugh out loud & tear up at times.

    This book was very immaginative & scary to think life could ever be like this. If you liked the Hunger Games, I think you will like this. There was one scene that was pretty hard for me to listen to. Gory/messed up type things don't really bother me but this got me a little...i was cringing! Lots of twists & turns. The characters were good & you will be rooting for them

    When's the next book going to be on audible??!!! That's what you'll be thinking :)

    It is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media - as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents - the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter - but is he really a killer?

    So the first half of the book I wanted to go outside and chase cars; I was BORED TO DEATH! I probably missed parts because I just couldn't concentrate on it!! Then about 9 hours in, it caught my attention & I was really intrigued by what was going on liked it from there till about the last 10 minutes of the book!! UGH. Deited to give this 3 stars...Beginning 0 stars, middle 4 so that's how i ended up with 3. It had good moments & super twisted but ould've been about 8 hours instead of 19

    It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive. Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them - not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble. But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain.

    I don't know if it's just beacuse the last several books i've read have been so insanely good; but I just COULD NOT get into this book! I really wanted to like it. I read all the reviews & saw it got almost 5 stars so I was all in. The narrator wasn't my favorite at all. I may have to give this a try some other time but for now, I just was not into it :(

    The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand. Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs—and wants—to avoid.

    This book was SO good! I couldn't stop reading it! There is a lot of sex going on but the story is about love and how it changes people and what your willing to do or not do for the person you love. There were moments when i wanted to smack them both but it was so entertaining and so gripping to read and i just had to keep listening...and harassing everyone else to listen so we could talk about it!!

    I was nervouse about listening at first bacause alot of reviews were very hard on the narrator. I thought she was PERFECT!!! She is supposed to sound like a young inexperienced girl...because that's what Anna IS! I thought she did a great job!!

    I think everyone should read or listen to this book! obviously if your age appropriate!
