Updating best friend to girlfriend is more than a change of status…
Emma has been best friends with Eli since she moved to his neighborhood ten years ago. Tired of being cast in the role of the girl next door, Emma creates a fake Facebook profile in the hopes of starting an online friendship with Eli, which would hopefully lead to more. Like…way more. From friend request to In a Relationship–it all seemed so completely logical when she’d planned it.
Eli can’t figure out what Emma is up to. He’s pretty sure she’s the one behind the Facebook profile, but then again, why would she do something so drastic instead of just admitting she wants to be more than friends? And who the heck is this new guy he saw her with? Eli starts to think that just maybe…he missed his chance with the girl next door.
Two best friends, one outlandish ruse. Their status is about to become way more than It’s Complicated…
This Entangled Teen Crush book contains one fake Facebook profile, two best friends who secretly crave each other, and a dreaded sex talk with parents…boy crush in the room included. Pushing a relationship beyond the friend zone has never been so crazy…
I started this book at Lisbon airport, yesterday at 6 a.m., and finished it around 5 p.m., in my bed in Barcelona. I picked this one up because I was too tired to focus on Winter and I needed a fun and easy read for the trip day.
While this book was an enjoyable and fast read, it was by no means brilliant.
I enjoyed the writing well enough, the story flows well and I even liked how the author makes time passages within the same phrase.
My main problem though was with the plot and the characters. The premise of this story seemed a bit idiotic to me from the get go, but maybe it’s because I’m an adult, and “creating a false profile, with a fake pic, so he fall in love with her, then he will love me” seems really stupid to me. I understand Emma’s reluctance to flat out admit her feelings for her best friend, sure, I can even get on board with a fake profile of sorts, but the fake pic and some other stuff just went a bit overboard.
I could understand Emma and where she was coming from, but all her decisions felt wrong to me, and her inability to sort out her feelings was a bit too much. I kind of liked Eli, and I understand why it took him so long to see Em as something more (I was in love with my best friend at 15, and he only looked at me differently after I told him). But in the end, the drama between these two was too much! For 2 people who knew each other so well, they had a lot of communication problems.
About Jake… grrr, I’m conflicted! I liked him when he first got there, and for a moment there I wasn’t actually sure that Emma and Eli would get together, because Jake seemed like a wiser and better option. But then I had to wonder, what the hell was a 19 yo boy doing with a 16 yo (very childish) girl? Because let’s face it: Emma acted way younger than her age! And then he did something I didn’t like, so… yeah… Sarah, I liked!
This book has very funny moments, and Emma’s parents are part of a few of them, like the sex talk! But overall this book was too heavy on the teen drama, with a lot of shouts and lack of communication, and that didn’t quite work for me. Also, the last chapter or so… NO! The idea that Eli needed to prove to anyone other than Emma how he felt, felt wrong to me, sorry.
In the end, this is not a MUST read, but it was fun and cute at times, so I sort of recommend it.
Queen of Shadows (Sarah J. Maas) keeps holding this spot.
I really thought I would like A Whole New World: A Twisted Tale 
I was super positively surprised by The One Thing (Marci Lyn Curtis). This books is beyond fantastic and amazing. Have you read it? You should!!!
I pushed a lot of books, but I’m not sure if people really read any of them… I know that I convinced at least one person to read Down and Out, does that count?
Best series I started in 2015:
I don’t usually read memoirs, or any non-fiction actually, but I read a couple this year, and Felicia Day’s memoir was amazing! I’ll recommend You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) to everyone.
Again, I’m going with a book I read in 2015 and not one published this past year, and that is Angelfall by Susan Ee. It might not be the most action packed one I read, but it definitely pulled me in and I didn’t want to put it down. Plus, it has Raffe and Penryn.
This is a obvious one, and I will name at least 2 books that I FOR SURE will read this year, and for many years to come, and they are Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.
These are not freaking easy! It will have to be Aelin, from the Throne of Glass series, considering that I named my Kindle after her and all…
One of the most beautiful written books of 2015 was The Wrath and the Dawn 
I thought Your Voice Is All I Hear 
I have to go with a classic here, so Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
It has to be Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, because even though I was aware of the plot twist, it still surprised me and left me gasping for air.
I think I have three major ones, and I honestly can’t decide between them. One is Aelin and Rowan from Queen of Shadows, because they’re the best and I love them individually and I love them together… I just love them! The other OTP is Penryn and Raffe from Penryn and the End of Days Trilogy, because they are awesome together, and that banter is life! And, finally, I have to talk about Cress and Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles, because they are the cutest! 😀
I’ll have to go with everyone on The Lunar Chronicles. The gang is just so great together, and I love their individual bonds as well as their bond as a crew.
Ahhhh, I mostly read new-to-me authors this year, but I guess I can count Cassandra Clare, right? In that case, City of Heavenly Fire, which I read in the beginning of the year.
Yeah, no brainer! Rowan Whitethorn…
I loved everything I read by Sarah J. Maas, but the world of A Court of Thorns and Roses 
Because I’ve mention Simon Vs a couple of times, I won’t use it again. Instead, I’ll mention a book that put a huge smile on my face because I just loved the banter and the relationship between the 2 main characters, and that is Down and Out by Kelley R. Martin.
I cry in a LOT of books! Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell is a great example of a book that made me cry (in public).
Probably More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera. It wasn’t even one of my favorites of the year, but that freaking book totally crushed me and I didn’t even see it coming.
I think it has to go to Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon, because not only is the story unique, but so is the formating of the book. Also, it is wonderful.
Nirvana 
YES!!!
It was Carry On by Rainbow Rowell and I already read it and wow, just wow!!! If I had finished it in 2015, it would have been my book of the year!
So many :D! The Rose and the Dagger, Lady Midnight and A Court of Mist and Fury are some of my most anticipated releases for 2016.
Probably The Girl Who Fell 
My Tiny Obsessions
