Review: Attachments

Attachments Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

http://www.gerberadaisydiaries.com/20...

I didn't know anything.

I didn't know it was going to be funny. On the very first page.

I didn't know that there were going to be nerds playing Dungeons & Dragons, and girlfriends emailing each other, and bad breakups, and marital drama, and a boy still living with his mom, and sadness, and uncertainty.

I didn't know you could write a romantic comedy from the guy's point of view. And it work.

I didn't know it was going to be a cross between Bridget Jones meets a Friends episode.

I didn't know that Rainbow Rowell could write two totally and completely different books, but yet nail the relationships in both. Absolutely perfectly.

I didn't know I would be so happy that I'd read Eleanor and Park first, because I would have assumed that it was going to be Ha Ha Funny, when it clearly was not. Whew.

I didn't know I was going to love everything about this book. Everything.

I didn't know what I was missing.

Review: We All Want Impossible Things

We All Want Impossible Things We All Want Impossible Things by Catherine Newman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Catherine Newman may be my new favorite author.
After Sandwich and Wreck, I read her first book, We All Want Impossible Things. It’s heartbreaking and emotional, and while I thought the main character, Ash, was incredibly selfish and destructive, I still loved the book.
But it’s definitely not for everyone.
