Beautiful but Sad

There is no happy ending, I kinda hate books with realistic endings because well I already live in the real world and I can watch the news to hear more about the truth. I did like the insight into gaming and design. I liked the honestly if the incredibly toxic relationship the MC has early on. It was reckless and stupid and put her in real danger but that is exactly what a 20 something year old does.
The other MC was frustrating but also believable. He did not grow up or change until he was forced to.

Melody Gallard may be the daughter of music royalty, but her world is far from glamorous. She spends her days restoring old books and avoiding the limelight (one awkward tabloid photo was enough, thanks). But when a producer offers her a lot of money to reunite her mother’s band on live tv, Mel begins to wonder if it’s time to rattle the cage, shake up her quiet life…and see him again. The only other person who could wrangle the rock and roll divas.

The perfect romcom with hints of the holidays sprinkled in. I tried to explain it to my husband, but it is a romcom, it has a solid plot and nicely developed character, and it happens to have smut, really good smut. It's the perfect romantic read.

It's a Cancer book with lots of Mommy issues
Reviewed: 09-29-17
Honestly I liked the book, it's not bad but can seem a little frustrating or outlandish. It is different to the average Cancer book. It repeatedly states that one should not say "choose life" or other ridiculous phrases of that nature.

An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, best-selling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014.

a bad, good, strange, crazy lifetime movie. the kind you start moving your mother for watching while you grab a peanut butter and jelly from the kitchen and then it traps you....you get caught up in the web, by the end you are nodding thinking... hmm that wasn't so bad. you'll think about it days later, still insisting it was only ok. then finally you will suffer out long enough and buy the second book too.

She is my hero in heels, my champion in media, and the embodiment of my life goals. She is full of badassery, sunshine, funny thoughts and amazing stories. Shonda gets me. Shonda is my people. This book made me a better me. I am worth the space I take up and I deserve to take up space. Thank you Shonda!

The enemy is Other. The enemy is us. They’re down here, they’re up there, they’re nowhere. They want the Earth, they want us to have it. They came to wipe us out, they came to save us. But beneath these riddles lies one truth: Cassie has been betrayed. So has Ringer. Zombie. Nugget. And all 7.5 billion people who used to live on our planet. Betrayed first by the Others, and now by ourselves. In these last days, Earth’s remaining survivors will need to decide what’s more important: saving themselves...or saving what makes us human.

No Spoilers. Don't believe in them. Good dystopian book. Love triangle that's sorta reminds me of Hunger Games and a main character that reminds me of the girl next door.
