Blue

De: HJ Bellus

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Maxine Mitchell

Blue Williams shines no matter the circumstance. She's the prettiest girl in her hometown, the most talented cheerleader on her high school squad, valedictorian of the senior class, prom queen, and runner-up for Miss Teen Colorado. And the list goes on.... That's until college, when she finds out that nobody recognizes her, and if they do, they couldn't care less. Blending in is something Blue has longed for her entire life. Living in a dorm with a set of new friends is just what she needed to escape her stale life back home. For the first time, she's seen for her talent and not her name or looks. Cheer is her number one priority, considering that a full-ride scholarship landed her at a prestigious university, and she intends to take advantage of it. A true beauty inside and out, Blue's heart has always pumped competitive blood. Until one night changes her forever.... The beauty is gone, and all she has left are nasty, ugly memories. The man who saved her has a story of his own, with 90 percent of his body scarred. What happens when the Beauty falls for the Beast?

WTF

What happen in the last 3 chapter? What happen to Blue? How can they not cleared what happen to her. The story was good but that was a major thing and it did not clear it out on what happen

Loved the Story

Loved loved loved the story! The narration was excellent. Narrators didn’t just read the lines, they became the characters in the story. The only negative is the ending came suddenly with all the answers. Enjoyed the HEA.

Could have been really good

Blue has the makings of a BA female lead character to root for. She is strong, determined, flawed and self aware. She works hard for what she wants and is not intimidated or influenced by other’s opinions.

Then all of the sudden she is none of those things.

There are chunks of the story missing, making it hard to fully invest…

It reads like if someone was tasked with writing a novel and already had a couple different short stories that featured a girl and a standoff-ish guy and instead of writing a new novel, or even adding to one of the short stories and turning it into a full length novel they just re-named the characters so that the names matched and then added an “epilogue” (to the satisfaction of “…and then I woke up”) to try and tie it all together.

Slow Burn ❤️‍🔥

This sorry is well written, but its slow to get to the meat of the story.

ok story. really stupid/pointless ending.

i didnt love it to start with as she basically throws herself at the guy and acts like a slut when she's supposed to be a pretty straight laced girl... it just didnt work. but i got hooked on the story despite this. Quite enjoyed it until the ending where something huge happened and then the whole thing was just skipped over and there was the epilogue which was supposed to tie up the loose ends but just made it all weirder. really annoying.

Blue Is A Truly Stupid Girl

Wow, what a great but, at the same time, stupid lead character. She's so strong mentally but really weak emotionally. She's the type of person who ends up dying at an early age from mistakes they make. Or the end up perpetually sad and lonely because they won't deal with issues they need to.

Update after finishing the book:
The author took this story in a surprising direction - a realistic ending. Not a Nicholas Sparks screwed up demise, but not the everything works out ending.

Overall, I'm not sure I liked it. It was good but.. it kind of left me sick to my stomach. I'd like to see a story about her roommate. It might be more fun.
