Review: IGNITE by Lily Paradis
About the book:
After her father's untimely demise in a mining accident and her mothers abandonment, Lauren Lindsay is no stranger to loss. She's used to living life for one person: herself. That is, until another family tragedy thrusts three children into her care and uproots her life in ways she could never imagine. Laurens first instinct is to run, until she meets their striking, mysterious neighbor Dean Powell.
Their immediate chemistry and his connection with her late father just might be enough to keep her in town long enough to uncover pieces of her past that she never had answers to. Dean's shady past and her reluctance to trust him could cost her the life she's always been searching for, but will she run back to her old life? Or will she choose to stay and live the life her father always imagined for her?
My Review:
When I was asked to be a part of this book blog tour I was really concerned that it would just be an okay book. Then I started corresponding with Lily Paradis and how she composed everything she wrote was definitely how a writer is! I finally got my book in and read it and this was what I thought:
By the first sentence I was captured, because come on who makes a DMV, a place made of metaphors! As I continued to read Ignite I realized that I have no room to complain about little things because sometimes people have to dread getting a phone call.
This book has opened my eyes to something so much bigger than I am. You don't get to choose what happens to you, it just kind of happens. Another thing that I fell in love with was not only Dean Powell, but the writing style! It was so amazing and so different. This book is like nothing I have ever seen before. I saw so much heart and it was very refreshing to read a book that was romantic and the romance could actually happen! It gave me hope that there is a Dean Powell out there for everyone.
Another thing that was so refreshing about this book was that it was hilarious. So much sarcasm and moments where I just couldn't stop fangirling. Disneyland, Siberia and Fiji will always mean a lot to me now. Something that you must know while reading this book is that meaning is everything. The meaning of some of the conversations are absolutely beautiful. I went back to read it again, and I loved it even more!
You wouldn't believe that this was Lily's debut book, but sure enough it is. Her writing is natural. She is meant to write because if she doesn't write than I might go crawl in the corner. Just by one book she has caused me to fall in love with her characters, her writing and everything in between. You have not lived till you have read this book and lived inside of it. Although there is tragedy all through Ignite, I would much rather live inside this book.
Thank you, Lily Paradis for giving life to the world of books.

Review: Anna and the French Kiss
When I started reading this book I wasn't too sure how it was going to be, but I got into it by the first page! It was beautiful and so, so true. This was one of the most refreshing reads I have read. Stephanie Perkins knows how to write. This is definitely a must read! I felt like I was Anna and in some ways I am.

Review: Four A Divergent Collection
I really enjoyed seeing what happened before Tris and knowing why Tobias is this way. If you have read the Divergent series then you will definitely cry because it looks back on some of the memories that happened in Divergent. This book took me about 4 hours to read because I was so engrossed with it.
Rating: 5/5

Review: The Spectacular Now
This book is a little slow as it starts, but by page seventy it is so amazing and doesn't stop. It is the truest love story I have ever read and I usually don't like reading love stories. The end is amazing and how most love stories work out.
Rating: 4/5
