I felt deeply invested once I'd finished the prologue. I have to admit things began to feel a little repetitive in the first half, but then the second half made up for the completely. I already can't wait to read Shane and Ilya's sequel, but I'm going to be good and read the series in order....more

ButThis was different from what I expected, because I mostly expected a fun royalty adventure, but this was a lot about dealing with grief and anger. But once I realized this, I was already so connected to the main character that I didn't mind the difference between my expectation and reality. I felt for the main character so much, and I was really rooting for her. The romance was lovely and that did add a really fun element, but I also surprisingly loved the relationship between Dayana and her step sister!...more

The way it waI'm not a huge nonfiction reader, but books like this make me think that maybe I should be. This was such an interesting, touching read. The way it was written made me feel like I was reading fiction, because it was very engaging, but then I kept realizing that everything had actially happened. The book spoke so clearly of the author's love for her mother, which made it feel really heartfelt, especially for a nonfiction book.

I really like how accessibly these books portray therapy sessions, and I like how much awareness this creates. I've seen some mixed reviews but I think it's really interesting to see such an honest portrayal of depression....more

After reading this, I feel a lot more confident in raising a happy puppy, and it's given me a lot of tools to raise the puppy more positively, which I'm excited about as I want to create a strong bond with our puppy. I will be revisiting this book a lot when we actually have our puppy, to be able to follow the steps of the training. Not unimportantly, this book was also just very easy and a lot of fun to read, so I'd recommend it to anyone who has a dog or wants one....more

I had to put this down a few times because I had to work, but it was HARD because all I wanted was to keep reading. Watch me RUN to the bookstore tomorrow to get the sequels because I HAVE to read those next!...more
