Do you ever start a book because you've seen so much hype around it and you're sure you'll love it? And then you read it and... you really didn't like it at all? This was my experience with Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.

I've seen such praise for this book. However, I thought it was very boring. There were only around 100 pages left once anything interesting/worthwhile happened. Then, even with this interesting and important psychological aspect introduced (far too late) to the sto

4.5 stars! I kept going back and forth between 4 and 4.5 stars until finally deciding to give it that extra half star. What an incredibly twisted, disturbing, and upsetting book. That being said...I actually enjoyed it! I have seen so many reviews of Then She Was Gone that said the story was predictable. However, I definitely did not predict the sick turn it took. Some things were pretty obvious, like which character was likely involved in Ellie's disappearance, but the specifics of what would end up bein

I absolutely ADORED the Maximum Ride series when I read it in eighth grade.

No, he isn't the main character, but he put his own experience in her and no two people experience OCD like the same way.

I felt uncomfortable reading this, and that was the entire point. Bravo, John Green! He relayed his experiences so well that it really allows readers to—as much as possibl

There were parts of this book that I got really into. Overall, however, I don't think it was that great. I grew to really like the characters (even though they bugged me at first) but I've definitely read much better books that have had me more hooked than this. I wouldn't be quick to recommend it. I also guessed correctly about how Simon dies (not a spoiler, it's what the entire book is about), so I guess it's somewhat predictable. It definitely gets better as you read but didn't really do it f
