Fizeram você achar que é uma espécie de Atlas que tem que carregar o mundo inteiro nas costas. Mas você não é. E já tem os próprios problemas com que se preocupar.

 O maravilhoso agora.

Taking another short break from Harry Potter, and starting this book!

January 2017 wrap up! I read 5 books for this month out of my initial goal of 10 for the year. I'm trying to decide if I should bump that up to 15? Overview of my ratings for each book: 1. #SpectacularNow by #TimTharp - 3/5 2. #TheGirlWithAlltheGifts by #MRCarey - 3.9/5 3. #RebeloftheSands by #AlwynHamilton - 4.3/5 4. #PlayingWithFire by #TessGerritsen - 5/5 5. #RavenKing by #MaggieStiefvater - 2/5 I left reviews over at Goodreads if you want to bother. :) A book I'm definitely looking forward to is Alwyn Hamilton's #TraitortotheThrone! Based on #Goodreads, (500+ pages!) it's going to be thicker and promises more action and revelations. Another book I hope I can get my hands on is The Girl From Everywhere by Heidi Heilig whose 2nd book, The Ship Beyond Time, is coming out this Feb too. @bookclubphilippines #BOTM for the month of hearts, February, is #Heartless by #MarissaMeyer. Join us! :D In other news, featured in the photo is my great grandfather's old film camera which I'm hoping can still be fixed somehow or at least cleaned for display purposes. *crossing fingers* #bookstagram #bookworm #monochrome #blackandwhite #snapseed #Nikon #nikond5500 #nikor #35mm #primelens #yashica

*CONTAINS SPOILERS*

I decided to pick this book up because I had recently seen the trailer for the movie and found out it was based off the novel!

This book was great and a very fast read for me. It starts off with a guy named Sutter, the popular class-clown type, who is the life of the party. He thinks his life is going good, then suddenly it took a turn for the worst. He hooks his best friend Ricky up with a girl who basically takes Ricky away from Sutter, Sutter’s girlfriend Cassidy breaks up with him and goes for a new guy, Marcus. All of this leads up to a foggy morning for Sutter when he is awoken by a classmate, a girl who definitely is not in his crowd, Aimee Finecky, a social disaster. Sutter originally plans to hook her up with a decent guy, but finds himself falling for her weird personality. He ends up taking her to prom, teaches her how to drink, allows her to act like a fool at the prom after party, and ends up having an intervention by his friends telling him he needs to break it off with Aimee before anything too serious happens. Despite their knowledge, Sutter has already made plans to move to a different state with Aimee, to start their new lives. Sutter never really plans on actually going through with this move, but Aimee thinks he is all in. One night after visiting Sutter’s dad for the first time in (I believe he said 10 years but I could be wrong?), Aimee and Sutter get drunk and during the drive home Sutter loses control of the car causing them to end up on the side all distraught and scared. Aimee ends up apologizing and chasing Sutter out of his car when he goes on a rampage saying she needs to get away from him because he is just a wreck. When Aimee is trying to get to Sutter, she gets struck by a car, leaving Sutter to think he got her killed. After realizing Aimee only broke her arm, they head back and things start to look up for Aimee, realizing they are moving very soon. Sutter ends up breaking the news to Aimee that he has to do summer school in order to graduate, and leaves Aimee to believe she will be moving and getting everything settled in order for him to follow her after the Summer is over. This is not the case, and Sutter has actually decided to let Aimee free from him to start her own new life.

This was a very good book and I definitely had hard times putting it down. I’m excited to watch the movie, although it did get pretty bad reviews! What did you all think of this book or the movie?

4.5/5 stars
