The Fault In OUr Stars Movie Discussion
Before I start discussing the movie I will write some of my favorite quotes from the movie
'We may not look like much, but between all 3 of us we have 5 legs, 4 eyes, and 2 and a half pairs of lungs so yeah we may not look like much but we also have 2 dozen eggs"
"What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.”
“But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him.”
So yes the tears the tears the tears. I wasn't the girl in the theater sobbing and annoying everyone. I was silenty sitting there as tears streamed down my face clogging my vision. The tears started when she here lungs filled up with fluid, and didn't end until well after the movie. The actors, and actresses played their parts with such raw emotion.
Augustus (Mr.Elgort) was seriously so godamn hot, and played his parts so incredibly well. This was Ansel's first lead role and it was possibly the best movie I have ever watched. During the movie Ansel played it so well, he was just amazing. The best parts with Ansel were probably egging the house, anything Amsterdam, honestly every part of this movie was the best so I don't even know where to go. The emotion in the scene where he phones Hazel asking her to come help him,m and he has the infection and just wanted cigarettes. That was a terrible part, the tears and tears and tears and tears where plentiful. I really hope to see more Ansel in the future..
Hazal Grace. Shailene really played it with the emotion needed, someone who's accepted the fact she'll die soon, someone who doesn't want the world. She wasn't my favorite person in the movie, because I felt like Ansel brought most of the movie to the level it was. Hazel was still an amazing character, that had such strength, and beauty in her situation.
Isaac, super hilarious when he was breaking the trophy's and Augustus and Hazel were trying to have like a serious conversation, the egging of the house how when he throws the first time he misses and Gus has to redirect him, or at the funeral when he talks about the robot eyes and how he wouldn't want to see a world without Gus. Isaac brought humor to the movie, he brought sad humor considering his friends were dying and her lost both eyes. But Isaac was such a vital character in this book and movie.
So yeah I cried a bucketful or tears, not because it was sad, because it was a beautiful kind of sad. I loved the movie, after it ended and I saw the other people in the theater, all our make up was slipping down our face and we all had raccoon eyes. It was amazing and I loved it. Please read and watch this book and movie.

Of Poseidon- Anna Banks
Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen—literally, ouch!—both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom...
I felt like the beginning of the story wasn't needed, I felt like if her and chloe had just played around then went back home it would have been just as good. Galen could have still followed her home, and it could have been the same outcome. So the very beginning wasn't a jumping point for me, but it didn't change my outlook on the book.
The world is where there is mermaids, living in the ocean (obviously) and they can go on land. I really found the Syrena history, and world in general really interesting. You don't really spend much time in the Syrena world, most of the book is spent in the human world.
Galen, one thing that really bothered me is he was terrible at talking, I was reading the book and I was frustrated with his poor social skills, I get he is a mermaid, but why does that mean he should have terrible social skills. Galen well he was really sweet, and is added to my favorite boy characters list. He stood up for Emma but he also let her fight her own battles, and he was protective, and I love it when guys in these stories are protective of there girls.
Emma- She really let Galen in fast, I don't think I would have let him in that fast, but.. from the very first page I was waiting for them to get together. Thankfully it happens fast. I had trouble believing Emma's mom was that ok with her staying the night, and nights with Galen, it didn't seem realistic. But I still loved this book, the mermaid aspect was spot on, the romance was spot on it still had problems and wasn't to perfect. I will for sure be reading the rest of this series. 4 stars out of 5

The Distance Between Us-Kasie West
It's book like this that break my heart, cause all I want is an Xander and he doesn't exist and it's killing me. I think I've found out why guys in my town don't like reading it's probably because it creates such high standards they just can't live up too.
Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers studies the rich like her own personal science experiment, and after years of observation she’s pretty sure they’re only good for one thing—spending money on useless stuff, like the porcelain dolls in her mother’s shop.
So when Xander Spence walks into the store to pick up a doll for his grandmother, it only takes one glance for Caymen to figure out he’s oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and that he’s one of the first people who actually gets her, she’s smart enough to know his interest won’t last. Because if there’s one thing she’s learned from her mother’s warnings, it’s that the rich have a short attention span. But Xander keeps coming around, despite her best efforts to scare him off. And much to her dismay, she's beginning to enjoy his company.
She knows her mom can’t find out—she wouldn’t approve. She’d much rather Caymen hang out with the local rocker who hasn’t been raised by money. But just when Xander’s attention and loyalty are about to convince Caymen that being rich isn’t a character flaw, she finds out that money is a much bigger part of their relationship than she’d ever realized. And that Xander’s not the only one she should’ve been worried about.
This book is cheesy yes i'll admit it, it isn't very unique or original but what's so wrong with that. Sometimes all I want is a cheesy romance to make the world seem like a brighter bigger place. So if you hate cheesy books don't read this, but if your a die hard romance fan please do.
Caymen- she has been forced to think a certain way, RICH ARE BAD, she is easy to relate to she's confused in this big world that's blooming with oppurtinies but she can't take any of them cause theres one thing holding her back. MONEY. Her mom hates the rich, she got knocked up by one and he ran away and she never looked backed she just decided rich are bad. which pissed me off a lot. Rich aren't bad you'd rather have your daughter hanging out with trash than a sweet boy who dresses well. Caymen was stupid at times, and she has sarcasm and dry humor that puts every joke I've heard to shame.
Xander- is a rich boy, who doesn't want to follow in his dads footsteps, he knows being rich ain't easy. He dresses nice and has a big heart well only for some people. Xander he was real, cause he had problems too, he shut down and woke up and got pissed and kissed.
Overall I really enjoyed this book, it is cheesy, but I couldn't put it down, it was just too good. I give it a 4 out of 5

Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
You stop fearing the devil when you’re holding his hand…
Nothing much exciting rolls through Violet White’s sleepy, seaside town… until River West comes along. River rents the guest house behind Violet’s crumbling estate, and as eerie, grim things start to happen, Violet begins to wonder about the boy living in her backyard.
Is River just a crooked-smiling liar with pretty eyes and a mysterious past? Or could he be something more?
Violet’s grandmother always warned her about the Devil, but she never said he could be a dark-haired boy who takes naps in the sun, who likes coffee, who kisses you in a cemetery... who makes you want to kiss back.
Violet’s already so knee-deep in love, she can’t see straight. And that’s just how River likes it
This book it was creepy, I won't lie it was. There was some messed up shit. The characters that's what made the book, Violet was just odd, she wears her dead grandmas clothes, she doesn't have any friends, she really is not living the life of a teenager. Her parents are never around, and not like in those books where there parents work late her parents work across sea's, and they have no money.
River he was probably my favorite person in this book mostly because he had different aspects that made the book, he made the book as creepy as it was, he added that sense of mystery and horror.
I'm not going to lie, but some parts were disgusting. But the plot was good, the mystery was good it was so unique and different. I would recommend you read this, it wasn't my favorite book but it was so unique that I loved it. 5 out of 5 stars.
